Container disappeared

[dridge81]

Sorry this isn't about a mod. I'm playing GOTY Edition on PS3. My situation is:

I just completed the main quest. Going in to the Jefferson Memorial through the gift shop entrance, there is a filing cabinet laying on it's side at the bottom of the ramp. I unloaded all of my loot (many, many, many suits of various power armors and guns) in that cabinet and then went to turn on the water purifier. Afterwards, I got the ending and woke up in the Citadel 2 weeks later. I went back to the JM to collect my loot and the area was different. The filing cabinet was gone. Reloading an old save is going to take me back a couple of hours. I'm sure that particular container is still in memory somewhere with my stuff in it, but where? I don't have access to a console in this version, but I've checked every container in the immediate area. Is there a resource online with the particulars of the individual containers in the game?

Very doubtful, Best and easiest is to replay from the save you have, Storage in any container in the game is high risk at all times. Almost every container is set to respawn in 72 hours. It does seem certain containers may have different respawn timers. A container can also repawn as empty through multiple cycles. I have noticed that with trash cans, mail boxes etc.

Perhaps there is a player safe storage mod you can download ?

I have my own that I created. I am planning on releasing a full lvl 100 respawn mod hopefully in the next few days but it may be much more than what you want for your own use. It has a safe storage dumpster container just outside the Megaton gate but then again it has a lot of other features you may not like.

The mod is actually finished. I am just play testing it before release but I have lots of real life stuff going on so my play time is limited right now.

Im confident the mod is ready but I still want to make sure it is as bug free as possible
