I've noticed after looking up ID's on UESP etc that if an object's ID has a space in the name, you can't console it.

For instance, (and these are just examples) the object ID for a...lets say Steel Dagger might be "Steel_Dagger". So if I want to console it, I type this:

player->additem Steel_Dagger 1

And I get one steel dagger. Basic stuff. But if the object ID has a space in it, like the souls of some enemies and some objects, like a daedric battleaxe ID is just "Daedric Battleaxe" and a golden saint id is "Golden Saint", I can't do that. It won't accept it. Why is this? Is there a way around this? Is there an alternate ID that actually works for these items?

It seems if there is a space in the name without a _, it won't work.

Wherever you're getting that information from is incorrect. Just add the " " around the ID in the console command.

For instance: placeatpc "golden saint" 1 1 1

I doubt where i"m getting the information from is incorrect because it's UESP, the most trusted place for pretty much all things TES lol.

But I tried your suggestion out and it works if you add the quotation marks before and after. they just don't include that on UESP.

Quotations are the secret. Now you can COC to ald-ruhn.

Keep in mind that while UESP is a great place for info...it is a wiki and so may not be 100% correct.
