I'll leave it here as I had issues. Method presented by xDhampyr works and please refer to his method, but bear in mind, if there is dx12user.settings.BAK file present, you have to edit it as well. I believe it's even better to edit BAK file first, then non-BAK.
Additionally, console commands are case sensitive, which means that AddItem won't work while additem works. e.g.: AddItem('Succubus Mutagen') - won't work additem('succubus Mutagen') - won't work addItem('succubus mutagen') - won't work but additem('Succubus mutagen') - will work 100%, just did it.
I did this tweak from watching a youtube video, which is simply adding that single line, didn't expect this to be just that. The problem I have is that it does not allow for additem("..") commands
I just wanted to mention that in steam my "Documents\The Witcher 3\dx12user.settings" file got resseted probably by the "dx12user.settings.bak" (probably a backup of the original as the extension hints), so i added the line in that as well... did that to master / main documents folder as well in "one drive" documents folder...
i am just about to test if everything is working ok ______ EDIT: Didn't work. not even after i edited all "dx12user.settings" AND "dx12user.settings.bak" files with the added "DBGConsoleOn=True" and set them up all as "read only"... somehow "DBGConsoleOn=True" vanishes from these 2 files (no matter there parent dir) and remains only in "general.ini" i can have god mode which remains to character after loading a saved game - even after restarting the .exe - addmoney, and healme also work but i cant give any item to my character, nor repair weapons etc.
so i went to trainers : for the 4.04, on steam and win10 "Wee mod" does not work well with 4.04... neither does 1st 4.04 trainer on GCW Got a stable -so far- game with "https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/7172?tab=description" and 2nd trainer for dx12, the one with +22 options, named "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt v1.02 - v4.04 +22 TRAINER" (the one that "calls home") ______ EDIT2: Just to clarify, game is run via the witcher 3 mod manager, then starting a game - 1st run of a playthrough or loading a saved game that you had not given any console commands yet or trainer activation -> you give the "god" console command and than after a save (manually or automatic has no difference) -> god mode is bound to this playtrhough / character (remains effective after loading a save from that playthrough and you don't have to repeat the command every time you load a save game) BUT god mode is not present when character changes from gerald to ciri. haven't tried to give "god" console command while in ciri, thinking it'll just undo the command so i use "healme" console command on ciri when needed. i also use "winGwint(1)" console command to win card games.
Trainer is used for coins/money cheat, "infinite weapon durability", "infinite horse stamina" and "infinite bombs / potions" cheats haven't tried anything else from trainer
the "items won't decrease" is efecting looting, so disable when you want to exit / finished looting or that looting panel won't close when looting last item from a dead npc / container. havent tried if it's effective on crafting / alchemy.
using the rest of 4.04 available trainers form GCW crashes to desktop when enabing infinete items / consumables cheats
I tried this, adding to general.ini was fine; but doesn't enable the console by itself obviously. Unfortunately on adding the line to the dx12user.settings file, the game crashes every time I start it up before reaching the main menu and does so until I remove the line.
For ppl who have problem on 4.04 GOTY you need to go C:\Users\\Documents\The Witcher 3\dx12user and dx12user.settings and there find General and add the line DBGConsoleOn=true
For those who say it's not working, what kind of keyboard do you use ? I can guess it's an AZERTY type and not a QWERTY
It seems the last patch broke debug consol for azerty keyboard only, after a few tries, I managed to access the console by switching on QWERTY mode. Be careful though if you have muscle memory because switching back to azerty mode once console enabled (using ² from your regular config) will NOT work, you'll have to use the consol with a forced qwerty mode.

\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\config\base
insert in general.ini
[General]
ConfigVersion=5

Thats all.
for german Gamer: Konsole mit "ö" öffnen.
Kind regards

I put the file into the folder The Witcher 3\bin\config\base
I have under The Witcher 3\bin\config\base, edit general.ini, under ConfigVersion=5 add DBGConsoleOn=True
and under
Documents\The Witcher 3, edit dx12user.settings, under General DBGConsoleOn=True
I use a QWERTZ
In the game I tried the keys ! ~ # \ ´ F2 and everything else I could think of.
Version 4.04
Please tell me what else I could try, thanks
then
: Documents\ The Witcher 3, edit dx12user.settings, find [General] (just use CTRL + F and type General), and under General type DBGConsoleOn=True
Save, start game, to enable console for me its ' key
my "Documents\The Witcher 3\dx12user.settings" file
got resseted probably by the "dx12user.settings.bak" (probably a backup of the original as the extension hints),
so i added the line in that as well...
did that to master / main documents folder as well in "one drive" documents folder...

EDIT2:
Just to clarify, game is run via the witcher 3 mod manager,
then starting a game - 1st run of a playthrough or loading a saved game that you had not given any console commands yet or trainer activation ->
you give the "god" console command and than after a save (manually or automatic has no difference) ->
god mode is bound to this playtrhough / character
(remains effective after loading a save from that playthrough and you don't have to repeat the command every time you load a save game)
BUT
god mode is not present when character changes from gerald to ciri.
haven't tried to give "god" console command while in ciri, thinking it'll just undo the command
so i use "healme" console command on ciri when needed.
i also use "winGwint(1)" console command to win card games.

Happy monster hunting! :)
"Ö" works
I've tried:
give It_Gold 1000
insert It_Gold 1000
spawn It_Gold 1000
Looks like none of the commands work at all (spawn It_Gold_Stack_03 did have no effect either).
Any hint? I am confused :)
