Baalie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've searched high and low but could find this. Is it possible to make a mod where items dropped are cleaned up after a while? I've dropped things in the streets and a few game weeks later they're still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telyn Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Actually it doesn't make sense at all that if you accidentally put something in a respawning chest in your own home, it mysteriously vanishes, but dropping it in the middle of the street is the safest place for it. At the very least, beggars should pick it up after awhile. I would use a mod like this. By the way, you can store items safely in clams, too, of all weird things, unless you have a clam respawn mod.

bben46 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 That's the first I have heard about storing things in clams. It just never occurred to me that a clam was just another form of container. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakaru11 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Well the only items NPCs actually pick up from the streets (wether you dropped them or someone else doesn't matter) are weapons when they don't have any and there is danger. But respaning chests are just that, respawning. It would be a great idea to have stuff that you throw out of your intentory disappear after a while, since it bloats your savegames. But as far as I know, it hasn't been done. So I can only agree with the others: drop stuff in respawning chests and refrain from littering the streets :P 'When I really want to get rid of something, I put it into a random daedric altar xD There's one in Hawkhaven with a lot of room in it...

MarkInMKUK Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hmm ... how about a mod to add thousands of hourly-respawning empty green litter bins with a "Keep Cyrodiil Tidy" logo... No, I'm NOT serious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
