How to hex edit items in Skyrim

Horizon - Xbox Xbox Gaming
1

First, you’re going to need a hex editor, I use Hex Workshop

Second, you’re going to want to put 1010 gold in a barrel and a item you want to swap with another item.

I put in “Elven Armor” + 1010 gold.

Save your game, open in Horizon, extract the savegame.dat and open that in Hex Workshop.

Now press Ctrl + F and make sure you settings are 32 bit signed long, little endian, all instances, and for the value put the amount of gold you have.

Press ok and it might show 1 or many instances. Mine has 26 for some reason.

No matter how many you have, you want to keep searching until you have the Hex for Gold(40000F) in front of the amount of money you searched.

The black is the hex for Gold, and the yellow is the amount of gold that you put in the barrel. Now I put in Elven armor besides the gold in the barrel.

Refer to the list here for item codes Gamefront

Now the Id for elven armor is 000896A3, now if I look near where my money was in the Hex editor, I can find my elven armor.

And the 01 after that means there is one of elven armor that I put into the barrel. So now you go back to that list and look for a item you want to swap the elven armor with.

The id for Dragon armor is 00013966, but you have to do one thing before you replace the hex, you have to replace the 0 before the first real integer with a 4. so it would be 00413966.

Then you just paste your new item code over the old item.

Then you’re done, replace the savegame.dat in your skyrim package, rehash and resign, and check the barrel again.

Note
• If when you search through the instances of your money and it doesn’t have the hex for gold before it(40000F) don’t mess with it.

• Take your time, doing this wrong will either freeze your game upon load or you will lose items. Always make a backup.

Looks very familiar… Skyrim: How to Hex Edit Items If you didn’t get this from me then don’t bother with this message, but if you did a little credit would be nice.

5

To be completely honest, I’ve never even visited that site before, my friend just told me about this method and no one posted it yet.

I did not find this method, just wanted to share with everyone else. I take no credit.

Fair enough, I just hate when people copy things and say it’s their own. Like I said, if you didn’t take it from me then just disregard my comment. I didn’t want to assume you did get it from me because anyone who knows how to hex edit could figure it out.

I just did it and… It’s perfect ! Thanks again, Ellie :smiley:

where do i find a barrel? (i’m new to skyrim)

9

They are usually in towns, there might be some in Riverwood, there are also some in Whiterun.

10

Anyway I can put one of those really awesome Shouts in a barrel? Haha
Thanks for this. This will be useful until they release the tool.

11

This will be useful for people who don’t have the PC version.

Nice tutorial.

12

Nice Job man! I did not know about the four in the ID, so thanks. Now hopefully people stop creating accounts just to ask for there save to be hacked and do it themselves with this tutorial. They should be linked to this when they ask.

13

does anyone have a list of the item code thanks if u do

14

ok nevermind i just found it here it is Idcodes.txt

15

by the way, can u change item hex id, and its quantity at same time? also can i have more than 1 item in barrel beside gold?

16

yes u can change item id in the barel and i always do like 4 5 item at the time whit my money

17

doesnt work anymore tried, it say close stream when replacing file, 3 seconds after i replace again, it say completed, then i rehash, when on 360, game save crack says disc won’t read.

18

it appen to me a couple time but i end up whit everyting i wanted just try again dont give up

19

what is wrong bro? let me restate, i did it like this, extract, hex the one after gold amount, i keep 00 and 41 cause they all same, and change the xx xx after 00 41 for item id, then i save hex and exit, try to replace and it **** up, then when i use back up file its like it regconize it as eff up too.

20

did u try it with the gold id and change gold id? or u change the id right after gold? assuming 2 items in barrel.
