Editor Smoke Test Cell
- Editor ID: QASmoke
A dungeon atmosphere room containing several crafting tools and containers with a collection of all items in game.
The tools are:
- 2 Alchemy Lab, 2 Arcane Enchanter, Blacksmith Forge, Anvil, Grindstone, Smelter, Tanning rack, Cooking Spit, Pot and Workbench.
The containers storing the appropriate items are labeled:
- "All Ammo", "All Books", "All Clothing and Jewelry", "All Enchanted Armor", "All Enchanted Weapons", "All Ingredients", "All Keys", "All Misc Items", "All Potions", "All Scrolls", "All Skill Books", "All Soul Gems", "All Spell Tomes", "All Staves", "All Standard Armor", "All Standard Weapons"
Furthermore, you can find a table with three wooden ladles lying on it near the end of the main corridor.
With the Dawnguard add-on, an extra hall with two containers labeled "All Dawnguard Misc or Other Items" and "All Dawnguard Weapons and Armor" is added. You can go through the end of the main corridor to get there.
Dragonborn expands two new cells in the north.
The first cell has several chests for Dragonborn specific items. From left to right, they are labeled:
- "All Dragonborn Keys", "All Dragonborn Spell Tomes", "All Dragonborn Scrolls", "All Dragonborn Books", "All Dragonborn Misc Items", "All Dragonborn Potions", "All Dragonborn Ingredients", "All Dragonborn Armor", "All Dragonborn Weapons", "All Dragonborn Ammo"
You can also find a small deep pool (presumably to test water walking) and four practice dummies. There are two activators near the door to the second cell. Activating the left button will teach you all words for shouts added in Dragonborn. Activating the right button will teach all spells added in Dragonborn. Both buttons can be activated only once.
The second cell contains 7 buttons and a barrier with a unlocked door. By activating a button, you can spawn a creature behind the barrier. You can activate each button many times and spawn multiple creatures at the same time. Once a button is activated, you must choose to spawn a creature to quit the interface. In most cases, they will fight with each other and turn hostile to you. Be careful, some of them may open the door and attack you. Detailed information about each button (from left to right) can be found below:

Its baaaaaack
- Editor ID: testFalmer
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is set up like a stone fortress. Behind the entrance is empty space. There are Ancestor Moths in the middle of the main room, with three locations on the ground where they can land. There is nothing of interest up the stairs. A leveled melee bandit stands next to the doorway, through which there is a small room. Embers float next to a broken part of a wall, which leads to a dirt tunnel with wooden support beams. The tunnel ends in nothingness.
- Editor ID: testGiant
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is set up like a stone fortress. Behind the entrance is empty space. In the middle of the main room is a weak test vortex with a number of items in it—four Iron Daggers, two Hide Shields, two Deathbell flowers, one Daedric Greatsword of the Inferno, and four bloody human leg bones. In one corner of the room is a test Storm Atronach (level 30), but it is disabled and does not appear. There is nothing of interest up the stairs. Through the doorway, there is a small room with floating embers next to a broken part of the wall, which leads to a dirt tunnel with wooden support beams. The tunnel ends in nothingness.
The vortex and atronach both have "test" and "Phil" in their editor IDs, showing that they are specifically test objects and possibly made or used by a guy named Phil.
Magic Visuals Test Hall
- Editor ID: XTestGrantInt
This interior cell is huge, with stone walls. Throughout it, there is the sound of bells. The southernmost room, in the southeast, tests mist. Heading through a short hallway north, the next room has more mist and a jet of steam. The next room, to the west, contains no mist but a test HDR box that appears to have multiple color bars on it of varying intensities. Heading through a misted hallway to the north ends in a room with a test white light, two unusable doors (one unsupported), a barrel of food, a few ice spikes on the floor, a static light spell in the west, and a Circle of Protection near the middle.
There are two doorways to the north of this. The hall through the left one has gas traps throughout, as does the resulting room, which is the center of a set of three. It contains Hide Armor of Minor Health. The cell to the left has test violet light and static test lightning; in its southwestern corner are two food barrels, some ice spikes on the ground, some fire effects, and test blue lighting. The third of the rooms has test particle lighting, test blue lighting, and the light of a magical fire barrier. Its southern door leads to an unconnected room in the same cell that looks like an inn's common room. In the middle is test bounce lighting and to the west is test candle lighting. The campfire light is a test as well. Also in the room are an Iron Mace and Iron War Axe of Embers.
Heading back to the three side-by-side rooms, each of them has a door heading north to three side-by-side hallways. The easternmost of these is a dead end and does not connect to the other two. It contains another test HDR box, two downwards frost rune traps, one sideways fire rune trap, and one downwards lighting rune trap. It has the light from a magic barrier on top of fire effects.
In the middle hallway, which is misted, there are some soul gems sticking out of rocks near a static Sphere Centurion. There is oil on the ground. There is a test orange light near the ground (this one including the name "Cory" in its ID), and there is a test ray of sunlight near the end of the hall. The left hall has test candlelight and another static Centurion, which is holding a candle in its left hand, with oil on the ground but no fog. There is nothing beyond the end door of this hall.
Through the doorway at the end of the middle hall is the northernmost room. There is a house on the left side with no door or entrance. There is an oil slick on one side of the house and another near the entrance the room. There is a fire pillar with some magic fire light effect next to it. Another copy of this light is about halfway between an oil slick and the fire pillar.
- Editor ID: XTestGrantInt2
This interior cell is modeled like a foggy cave. Just in front of the entrance is some fire. In the middle of the den is a large, impenetrable, magical blue barrier. In the southwestern corner is a test campfire.
- Editor ID: XTestGrantInt3
This interior cell is a misty cave tunnel with test rain beams throughout. At the southern end is an oil slick with test orange light above it. Just before coming upon a fiery test campfire, to the east there is a windy branched tunnel at the end of which is an icy wall holding back a large puddle. The northernmost room has test blue sunlight.
- Editor ID: XTestGrantInt4
This interior cell has the same layout as XTestGrantInt, but the northern end in that cell is the southern in this one. It contains test HDR boxes in the same two locations, and contains the same ice spikes on the ground. In the middle of three side-by-side rooms to the north of three side-by-side hallways, there is a test lighting sphere. In the middle and easternmost of these hallways with dwarven architecture, there are Sphere Centurions. The inn common room is as barren as the rest of the area and cannot be accessed by normal means.
- Editor ID: XTestGrantInt5
This interior cell has a gray stone disk of land in the center. To the north is a wooden dock with a tiny Jorrvaskr merged into it. The northernmost light source is a test inventory light. The cell is very, very blurry and dark, making it impossible to see anything but the disk.
Main Menu Cell
- Editor ID: MainMenuCell
A completely empty black cell.
Quick Test Cell
- Editor ID: CTest
This interior cell consists of a small, fully enclosed stone room. A bed lies in the southeastern corner. In addition, there is an invisible object called "Test Click Trigger" that juts out from the southern wall and spans about half of the room. It has no collision, and can only be activated from the eastern side. There are no light sources, but there is enough ambient light to see without difficulty. There is a Blood Portal in the middle of the northern wall.
- Editor ID: CWQuartermasterContainers
This interior cell is similar to the previous cell in size, shape, and style, but it instead contains two chests opposite each other, to the west and east of where the player spawns. These chests contain a large number of items; they are the merchant chests for the various Quartermasters that can be found in the Stormcloak and Imperial camps.
- Editor ID: DLC1DBTest
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, has walls and floors made of lined grids. There are three test swinging bridges in the middle. The eastern wall is gray; the rest are light yellow. There are three huge Greybeard-like test statues in front of this wall. There are three friendly, leveled hunters in this cube.
To the north of this cube—not connected to it—is a very small broken room and collapsed corridor with Volkihar architecture and ice over it.
- Editor ID: DLC1VampireCastleTest
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is a collection of three segments of a Volkihar-style castle that are not connected. In the southernmost segment, in the eastern of its two rooms, there is a statue of Malacath on the eastern side. There are a number of stairs in the room, but nothing else of interest. Through a corridor on the western side, the second room may be reached. This room has a few unconnected jail walls, and has a tiny room to the east with three benches in it.
The second segment, to the northeast, has a few stone stairs. The floor alternates between stone and wood.
The third and northernmost segment contains a number of small, connected rooms. In one of the northern rooms is a statue of Mara, but the rest of the area holds little of interest.
- Editor ID: DLC1zFalmerValley04
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is a small, empty room with Volkihar architecture.
- Ecitor ID: TestCoryDLC01

- Editor ID: TestJoelDLC01
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is modeled like the Soul Cairn. It contains a few mausoleums and teleport locations, with the only crater being at the northern end. There is a harvestable Soul Fissure in the middle of the cell, on which is a Dwemer cupboard containing a copy of each soul gem in the game, including Azura's Star. There are some critters around there, as well. A sideways crater is in one of the mausoleums. A disabled ambush of Wrathmen waits in the southwestern corner, to the north of which is another cupboard of all soul gems with a lightning attractor next to it.
- Editor ID: testJoelDLCholdingCell
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is an unlit, hollow square. Stairways create a square-shape. Under an arch is an Ideal Master Crystal.
- Editor ID: VampireDungeon01

Salvatore's Test Cell
- Editor ID: XTestRyanInt
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is mostly empty. It has four connected rooms with a small set of hallways connecting them from other sides. All of the rooms have a doorway into emptiness. There is torchlight in the easternmost room and more torchlight in an inaccessible square of nothingness isolated by the hallways.
Swindler's Den
- Editor ID: TestBrieDLC
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is set up much the same as the cells named Its baaaaaack. On a stone near the entrance are a number of caveworms, underneath a partial Falmer bridge. Three Falmer tents, two large and one small, are around the sides of the room. Next to the entrance is a mineable Shellbug, which will die after being used. A Falmer totem and two Falmer jugs are also in the room. There is nothing of interest up the stairs.
Through the tunnel where the other cells meet a dead end, there are more caveworms. At the end is a set of hanging bridges. On the ground is nothing, but in the sky is a floating island. On it is a Nord man dressed as an Alik'r Warrior who sleeps in Psijic clothing. His name is TestCarryFirewood.
- Editor ID: TESTRyanJDLC
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is set up exactly the same as TestBrieDLC in terms of the basic environment. At the southern end, just off the ground, is a trigger for Arvak to run around. In the middle of the first room is a Reaper.
- Editor ID: TestTony
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard and not to be confused with the cell that's actually named TestTony, has the same setup as the previous two cells but lacks the tunnel system and anything past it. In the middle of the room is an Ideal Master Crystal. To the right of it are two Elder Scrolls (one an activator and one the dragon version), a noninteractive chest meant for holding an Elder Scroll, and two oversized, unusable, floating books. Past the books is a wooden table on which are Soul Gem Shards, an empty bone bowl, two bloody tankards, a bucket of blood, a torture tool, a Dwemer schematic, an Initiate's Ewer, a Potion of Blood, Katria's Journal, Notes on Dimhollow Crypt, Vol. 3, The Aetherium Wars, Venarus Vulpin's Research, Journal of Mirtil Angoth, and Unknown Book, Vol. III. Around this table are three Bloodstone Chalices: one empty, one with blood, and one full. On the ground on the other side are Purified Void Salts and Finely Ground Bone Meal.
To the north of the large books is a Falmer chest. To the north of this is another chest, to the east of which is a third chest in another style. To the north of the crystal is a crater. To the west are four small crystal pillars. In the northern part of the room are four coffins, two lying down and two standing up. There is also a night power shrine and a blood magic shrine.
testl
- Editor ID: testL
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, looks like a Nordic barrow. There are three trap pressure plates in the first room of the eastern segment. On the eastern side of the room, there is a white stone mound from which a leveled Draugr emerges when the glowing pillar (named Locked Sarcophagus) is activated. There is a pull chain just to the north of this, linked to a barred door on the western side of the room. The chest is like a regular boss bandit chest. Through the northern tunnel is another room, which has two giant rain barrels filled with blood. On the southern side of the room is a stand with four blood-filled kegs on it, across from stairs leading nowhere. There are three leveled draugr in here.
The western segment is not connected to the eastern. At the southernmost end, there are two levels. The top is simply a hanging wooden bridge. The lower level is all water. Swimming north, there is a low mist, and there are test rapids from Dawnguard. At the northernmost end is a waterfall that ends in a pool.
TestMeganWorld
This worldspace, added by Dawnguard, contains a number of cells, just as Tamriel does. To reach these cells, type cow TestMeganWorld x,y into the console. Most of these cells are empty and are nothing but land; all are Wilderness cells. To enter the main cell of this worldspace, type cow TestMeganWorld 0,0. The other two cells with content exist at coordinates (-2, 0) and (-1, 0). Part of this worldspace is modeled like Blackreach; the other part is not like anything else in-game.
The non-Blackreach segment has some Yellow Mountain Flowers, a Canticle Tree, and two geysers. A Soul Husk sample and three Poison Bloom samples lie in one area next to a few tombstone and standing stones. The Blackreach segment has a few stones, mushrooms, and a mushroom tree around a short pathway.
TestRSears
- Editor ID: TestRSearsDLC01
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is modeled like the inside of Castle Volkihar. There are four segments: a hallway to the west, a room to the east, some corridors and a room in the middle of those two, and a room to the northeast. The northeastern room and western hallway are not connected to anything else. All of them have a low mist but the northeastern room.
The western hallway is empty. The western room has an iceberg on top of it, with some large icicles visible through the ceiling. The middle segment has some broken pillars in its room. The northeastern room has a wayshrine in it.
TestTony
- Editor ID: AAADeleteWhenDoneTestJeremy
This interior cell, not to be confused with the cell added by Dawnguard that has an editor ID of TestTony, is a rectangular stone room. It has three forges, each with a pile of coal. At each forge is an NPC shoveling the coal. The NPCs are named TestJeremyRegular, TestJeremySmall, and TestJeremyBig. If their work is disturbed, say by an attacking player, TestJeremySmall will shrink and TestJeremyBig will grow. Their purpose, and the purpose of the cell, appears to be to test the effect character size has on certain animations.
There's a spider on your shoulder
- Editor ID: testPhil
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is a small room with stone walls. In one corner is a table. On this table is a rune shield, the book Confessions Of A Khajiit Fur Trader, a rune hammer, a rune axe, vampire gauntlets, and an Amulet of Bats. There are no spiders.

Warehouse Master Package ML
- Editor ID: WarehouseMasterPackageMultiLink
This interior cell is much like the previous. The first five pens are the same. The final one in the previous cell this time has an idle marker and a guard marker. There is also an additional pen on the southern wall, which contains a bandit with four idle markers. The bandits are different than in the previous cell, but they are still not hostile.
Warehouse Prefabs
- Editor ID: WarehousePrefabs
This interior cell, which lacks lighting, starts out in a room containing weapon plaques and racks along with a number of weapons. There is a torture rack in one corner. To the east are a floating door and banner. To the south is the base for a dragon mound. To the slight northeast of this is a floating word wall containing the first word of the shout Slow Time; there is a door near here. Scattered around to the north are triggers for Random Encounters.
To the west is more solid ground. The plane has a Wisp Mother on it, and it contains a ceiling without walls, though the player may not stand on this ceiling.
Warehouse Traps
- Editor ID: WarehouseTraps
This interior cell, altered by Dawnguard, is a large area that holds traps. Starting in the southwestern corner, there is a spiked wood wall. Stepping on the first pressure plate will activate a crossbow trap. The second will activate the wall. The third will activate a spotlight. The fourth and final one before entering the first room does nothing. There are three more door traps in the next room, each activated by the nearest pressure plate. The lever to the north activates the door trap again. The next pressure plate activates another spotlight. To the west is a plate that triggers a spear trap. The final plate down that side will activate a poison gas. The eastern end of the hallway has another spear trap activated by a plate, and a skull trap that activates based on where the player steps.
Heading north, there is a crossbow trap activated by the next pressure plate. The next room has a bear trap, a swinging door, darts, and flamethrowers, but it also has a soul gem, a bow, a steel ingot, and a number of untrapped boss chests. The soul gem is atop a trapped pillar. Of particular note in the room is an NPC named Warehouse Traps Reset Test Guy, who will, if asked, reset all the traps.
Heading through the northwest hall, a lever will bring down spears that block your path. The lever in the eastern side of the next room does the same. The lever near the middle brings down a single pole. The northernmost level will activate sideways poles. The eastern poisonbloom trap releases poison gas; the western one does not.
The room to the west has purple vines on the floor and wall, and another nonfunctional poisonbloom. The lever will lower the rods around the pedestal, allowing one to take the normal apple. To the south, there are two levers; the one on the western wall lowers rods leading nowhere, while the one in the middle lowers the poles around another pedestal with an apple on it. The northwestern room of the cell contains a single lever, which activates another apple on a pedestal situation along with opening each of the doors and activating a bridge leading nowhere.
Back in the room with the NPC, there is a northeastern hallway. The hall itself lack traps; the place it leads doesn't. Heading east, there is a flamethrower, a thresher, a long-distance ballista, a Falmer wall trap, and another thresher. The end room has a flame pillar. Going back to the parallel north-south halls branching off of the east-west one, the easternmost has two threshers in it, with two levers to stop them. The next hall has two nonfunctional pressure plates. t the end of the third is the ballista. The final hall has another nonfunctional pressure plate and a moving wall. Another room to the west has a swinging door.
The third and final exit from the room with the NPC is to the east, down a wooden ramp. There is a dead Skeever on some wooden spikes. The circle in the middle is a trap that can be activated by the northwestern lever and pressure plate. The two pedestals in the north have spear traps. The eastern side of the room has four rune traps in it. There is a swinging blade in the middle of the three southern alcoves. The eastern alcove has a battering ram. The next room to the east has a large oil slick. To the south are a gas trap and a dart trap. To the north are two fire plates—one functional and one safe—and a beehive.
The next room has a wall trap, two bear traps, a hanging bone chain, and a bone chain on the ground in the north. To the south is a mammoth skull trap, along with a short tunnel containing a rockfall. There's another rockfall in the eastern side of the room. Heading east, the rest of the traps are magical pillars with soul gems. The final room, to the north, has a nonfunctioning pressure plate and two battering rams.
Other Cells
Some of these cells were likely intended to be implemented in the game, but were left unfinished or were never connected to the world. Others have various uses.
Bleak Falls Barrow
- Editor ID: E3demoBleakFallsBarrow
An alternative version of Bleak Falls Barrow, very similar but both zones merged into a single cell.
Castle Dour, Tower
- Editor ID: SolitudeCastleDourTower
An unused area of Castle Dour. It is entirely complete, and seems to have been intended to play some role in the Battle for Solitude. The tower is a small two-level room and is fully furnished with an entrance on the lower floor and another on the upper floor. It appears the tower was meant to connect from a now-hidden door in General Tullius's room in Castle Dour to an unused door on the roof of the castle. Leftover code suggests it was possibly an escape route for Tullius, culminating in a final showdown on the roof of the castle. A "Key to Castle Dour Tower" remains in the game, but is also unused.
Cave
- Editor ID: DLC1zSoulCairn01
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is a small cave. There is a small path leading down to the main portion, a semicircle of land. On the flat side of this semicircle is no wall, but there is a skeleton, Draugr Armor, and a Draugr Greatsword on a floating rock not far away.
Dark Chasm
- Editor ID: SoulCairnZcell01
This interior cell, added by Dawnguard, is a lightless cave with two Bonemen in it. There is a campfire in the northernmost section.
Dreamworld
- Editor ID: vampireDreamworld01
- Editor ID: vampireDreamworld02
- Editor ID: vampireDreamworld03
Three identical-looking cells that are not connected. They appear as the inside of a small house. The only door can be activated, but doesn't lead to a new cell. A few rare books and notes can be found on two shelves.
Judging by the names of the location code, this was probably related to vampire quests that were not released in the final version of the game.
Helgen Homestead
- Editor ID: HelgenHomestead
A small room with a bit of furniture, and a one-way door leading to Helgen.
See also: Helgen Homestead
Hoarfrost Grotto
- Editor ID: HoarfrostGrottoOLD
An ice cave with no exits containing Ice Wraiths, a Frost Atronach and a chest.
The Lost Man's Reprieve
- Editor ID: HelgenTheLostMansReprieve
A small room with a bit of furniture, and a door leading nowhere.
Obscured Passage
- Editor ID: CidhnaMine03
This interior cell in the style of Cidhna Mine contains tunnels, dwemer architecture, some levers and gates and a few corpses. Also a Scribbled Note can be found here.
Pelagius Wing
- Editor ID: OLDBluePalaceWing01
This seems to be an unused alternative to the Pelagius Wing BluePalaceWing01 actually used for the quest The Mind of Madness. It is rather large, including an "outside" area with trees. At one place one can play a game of memory by activating "Match Cards" that turn up as either "Clubs", "Diamonds", "Hearts", "Spades" or "Sheo". After removing successfully all five pairs a gate opens.
The Mind Of A Madman
- Editor ID: BPWHouse
This cell is a small house connecting to The Mind Of A Madman visited during The Mind of Madness. It can be entered through a free-standing door east-northeast of where Sheogorath stands, but invisible walls prevent the player normally from getting there without console use.
The other door of the house connects to the cell below.
- Editor ID: BPWVoid
An unfinished cell in barrow style, with parts floating in the air at strange angles.
Torolf's Mill
- Editor ID: HelgenTorolfsMill
Another small room with a bit of furniture, and a door leading nowhere.
[Unnamed Cell]
- Editor ID: WICourierCell
This interior cell contains an Urchin and a Courier, along with a barrel holding courier items.
- Editor ID: WIDeadBodyCleanupCell
This cross-shaped interior cell has two coffins and a fake version of Malborn. A script sends certain NPCs here when they die.
- Editor ID: WindhelmPitExterior
This exterior cell, in the worldspace WindhelmWorld at coordinates (33, 10), is empty space that was meant to be outside the building around which Windhelm's arena, The Pit, would have been centered.
WindhelmPitWorldspace
This worldspace contains a large number of cells, just as Tamriel does. To reach these cells, type cow WindhelmPitWorldspace x,y into the console. There was meant to be an arena in Windhelm named "The Pit" in the game, with quests and related NPCs set up for it, but it was not implemented; this is that area. To reach the entrance of the Pit, type coc WindhelmPitEntrance which is located at 33,10.
There are Pit Fans gathered around the arena. There is no entrance to the building, and the rest of the worldspace is empty, snowy wilderness.

DLC02 -- Castle Karstaag |
Five military camps have a mapmarker for both the Imperial and the Stormcloak side. Apparently they were intended for the Civil War quests. But at most one map marker for each camp is actually used in the game. They can however be enabled with the use of the console, using the IDs below. Example: "00094c29".enable
| Camp | map | usage | Imperial | Stormcloaks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Markarth Military Camp | map | - | 000ec196 | 00094c29 |
| Riften Military Camp | map | - | 000a8844 | 000ec195 |
| Solitude Military Camp | map |  |
000ec194 | 00034896 |
| Whiterun Military Camp | map | |
000ec192 | 00094a1f |
| Windhelm Military Camp | map |  |
0009003b | 000ec193 |
Several names for map markers that didn't get used in the end can be found at the map marker warehouse.
