Enabling Achievements

Using console commands generally disables achievements; however, you can bypass this with a fan-made Achievement Enabler mod. This tool prevents your save from being marked as modded, allowing you to unleash all kinds of chaos in God mode while still earning those valuable achievements.

To use it, download the mod here, install it, and you’ll be ready to go.
