Help! my oblivion cheat console won't come up.?

Question

I want to cheat on Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion ( pc ) and I can't get the cheat console to come up. I tried the Shift ~ and that won't work. I don't have a media remote, and tried the " Ring Of Console Mod " but that didn't work ether. Please help me.

In order to get the console to come up in an unmodified game, the only button you have to press is the tilde button.  Don't press Shift or any other buttons while you do.  

Also, know that when the console comes up, it's in small white writing on the bottom-left half of your screen.  There is no separate window for it.  It appears over top of what's on the screen at the time and can be hard to spot if you're not looking for it.

With that said, you should know that installing a console mod may change the way the game responds to commands.  If pressing the tilde button doesn't work, check and see if you still have the mod installed, and uninstall it (it should no longer be on the Data Files screen) before trying again.  Good luck!
