Is there an option you have to set before starting the game, to allow the
developers console? I can't remember its been a while since I played that
game. Still got the thieves guild to do!

Never bothered cheating it that game, it's too easy to begin with.

I use the console all the time. Commands like TDT to see the framrate are
awesome for performance tweaking. But I digress.

Go Documents ->My Games->Oblivion and open Oblivion.INI

Look for the line:
bAllowConsole=0
and change it to
bAllowConsole=1

The `/~ key now works. Cheat away.
