Chest inventory in NPC-owned building available to player without stealing?

[LordZandor]

I've been trying to make a mod myself by putting a chest in Arcadia's Couldron in Whiterun and one in Farengar's part of Dragonsreach. However, everytime I get there with my character every item in the chest has a red hand near them, showing that it is owned by an NPC (presumebly Arcardia and Farengar respectively).

Now I have tried different things to solve this: move the chest to another room, setting NPC ownership to player, setting Faction ownership to playerfaction. However, none of it works. I have no problems with putting chests outside. My chest near the Skyforge is available to the player, just fine.

 

Does anyone know how to solve this?

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Setting the ownership to PlayerFaction should work. Are you loading a saved game to test? Once the object has been initialized in your game, ownership will be retained across saves. You'll need to start a new game or make a clean save in order to load the ownership from the CK again.

Oh, that might have been my mistake. I had make a new game to test it out the first time, but following times I just used that same save.

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

Edit: I tried it with a new game after I made sure they were set to PlayerFaction and it didn't work. :(
