Ambient Clutter Items disappearing

Hi All!

 

Hope you are having a good day.

 

I am writing this message because of a persistent problem I am encountering in all my Skyrim games.

 

At some point, usually after a fair bit of a playthrough, clutter items in the environment start to despawn, either immediately after loading a save game or a cell (from outside to inside, for example).

 

I started noticing this issue in Arcadia's Cauldron, when I got there to gather ingredients and level up alchemy. Immediately after loading a save or entering the shop, the usual potions/ingredients on the bancon or on the cupboards would disappear suddenly, before i would be able to pick them up.

 

After paying more attention to the issue, I started noticing the same happening in all closed cells. Dishes disappearing from tables, books and stuff disappearing from cupboards, in dungeons, houses and shops as well.

It also started happening in my player homes. All my books in Elysium Estate suddenly vanished from the libraries, and the libraries themwelseves acted as if they were empty from the beginning (i.e. I could put other books to replace the ones disappeared).

 

Once, in Breezehome, all the clutter was suddenly teleported to my inventory (but it only happened twice in a playthrough, now it has not happened yet).

 

I am struggling to find information online to what may be the problem.

Do you have any suggestions about where should I start looking for, to identify the problem?

 

Thank you for your time!

Do you have any mods installed or are we talking about the vanilla game?

Hi

 

Thank you for your reply!

 

Yes, it is a modded playthrough. I apologize, I forgot to add this piece of information.

 

Do I need to post the Load Order?

 

Thank you for your time

Yes you can add your modlist that might be helpfull. I do remember I did encounter that issue a long time ago but I can't remember what it was exactly related to. There is a thing in your settings that allows you to choose the loading dinstance of clutter. I think if you load too much clutter this might happen. Maybe it's related to clutter not unloading (just guessing). I will look a bit online see what I can dig up.

Hi again

 

thank you for your time and help.

 

I think I may have identified the problem, thanks to you pointing out the loading distance. I believe it is both the fact that I have too many mods, and the fact that I am still playing with base ini settings. Without changing them to adapt to the load order.

 

I have started by installing BethINI, and the issue seems to have been sensibly reduced, although it still happens sometime. More than a specific solution, I believe I will have to reduce my load order (I am at 500 mods currently) and try to learn to set properly INI files for my potato of a computer.

 

Thank you for your help!
