Ever since I took my first "trick shot" if you will I have only gotten better at it. I've found even more ways to use various console commands and such. I believe that I have found something unique and I want to share it with people. None of the images in the image section were photoshopped. Works for all versions of Skyrim.
I am aware that this might be common knowledge to some people, but not everyone knows about them or how the commands can be used. :)
Useful mods:
Or a similar mod that enables you to decorate/freeze stuff in place. Since tai does not work with objects.
An animation player of your choice. The only one I know of is Puppeteer Master for Oldrim though. Posers work as well, personally I don't use them but that's the individual's choice.
Console Commands:
Playlist for all the commands
A note on dragons and freezing them: It doesn't seem to be possible to freeze dragons as well as I had hoped. They seem to withstand it, it works for a few seconds but eventually they will have disappeared. So the way I've had to do it is use toggle combat ai(tcai) and toggle ai(tai) for all actors so that the dragons stand still. Not sure how well it works while they are flying though. You can freeze them briefly, but you need to know exactly what you need to do and do it fast.
Have fun!

- Decorator Helper - This is the one I personally use, but that's mainly so I don't have to use SKSE.

- tai : freezes the clicked target. Also seems to remove their collision(mostly). You can use this to pin people to walls with arrows, make fun scenes, cool combat scenes etc etc. Works on animals as well. Dragons included(somewhat, see bottom of list).
- tcai : Makes actors unable to attack. Affects all actors though, can't target a single npc and stop them.
- tfc & tfc 1 : toggles a free moving camera. With tfc the game still runs, tfc 1 freezes the game totally.
- tc : and clicking on an npc or animal etc makes it able for you to control them. Doesn't work well with dragons, I've tried.
- sucsm : (or any other number): sets the free camera speed. Low numbers for slow movement and high for fast. Replace # with a number.
- tm : removes UI/menus. A word of warning though, the console also disappears. My recommendation is to write tm, press enter, take the screenshot and press arrow up and enter to get the ui back. You will also notice that the game stops when the console is active.
- player.setscale # and setscale # : scales the player or an npc, animal etc, etc. Setscale # and clicking on an actor scales the actor instead, also works with player if clicked. Replace # with a number. 1 is default.
- tim : health will never reach zero but you can get staggered and lose health. Which in turn enables you to f ex get decapitated but still alive and able to move around.
- tgm : Toggle God Mode. Makes you unable to die.
- tcl : Toggle collision for player or an npc, animal or the like.
- And a bonus one that will make your life easier; spf. Save Player Face. Open your console, click your character and type " spf MyCharFace " Press enter. This will save your character's face into a file you can import into the Creation Kit. File is in the Skyrim folder where the .exe is. MyCharFace is just the file name that you enter yourself. So you can have anything really instead of what I wrote.
