Mutiple homes, multiple unique displays, how do you do it?

[dizietemblesssma]

I'm interested how other players approach the fact of there being quite a few homes etc. that offer displays for the same unique items.  I love LOTD and its replica system and in another universe one would be able to make as many replicas as needed to populate any other displays.  Of course that's not how it works:)

There is a mod that offers places to craft (for mucho septims) additional versions of the baseobjects, but that is a) not what a Guildmaster would do with their own workshop (pay I mean); and b) the mod involves edits to existing vanilla places.

I wish I knew more about how displaying objects works, I followed one of the CC homes down the rabbit hole in xedit and the CK and it seemed to involve static display objects and xmarkers as parents of the unique item's copy which when itself enabled then enables the copy, the xmarkers seem to have been placed with exceeding care as to orientation etc; making me wonder if simply editing in xedit to use a different baseobject (like the LOTD replicas) would work?  That paragraph may not be very articulate:)

It would be cwl for there to be some common way for player homes to have displays that take some universal version of replicas or copies and perhaps slowly patch existing homes to fit.  Again I'm not sure I'm saying this clearly!

Of course the console is always there:)

I don't use the displays in any of the homes, and I don't think they're intended to be filled anyway. For instance, I noticed that one of the homes (Chill-something which you get from attending a feast) there are displays for DLC objects which are exclusive to each other depending on what ending you pick for the Dawnguard DLC questline. The only way you'd be able to fill all the display holders would be to manually give yourself the items with console command or the item-search-and-give mod (forgot it's name).

Because it's not possible to fill all the displays through normal game play, it seems fair and okay to me to either not use them at all (which is what I do) or to manually give yourself all the items with each house (if you like having full displays).

It's not really cheating to manually give yourself those items as you're not using the displays to give yourself anything other than aesthetics.
