Cool Mod Idea

[Molakini]

I had a mod idea but i wanted to see if it has already been done.

 

The mod is a wall rack that holds one each of the shields and armor for display. Has this been done or can this be done?

Just a cool thought for displaying treasures in the fighters strong hold castle. Another idea would be put more display cases in the castle of other items.

There are some display rack type mods, they all suffer from the same problems. The problem occurs when cells you havn't been to get unloaded from the game in order to load other cells. If this happens with a house that you've spent hours setting out display items with, all those items go poof. Although there are steps you can take to reduce this risk, namely going back into the cell often enough, but for people using more expansive mods, or SI, this can often be difficult to do. Things placed in a container don't get reset. Using NPCs as storage can also occasionally have similar issues.

 

A secondary concern is the physics of the items. The physics for some shields just doesn't allow for them to be propped up on a rack. What you do place usually just ends up sliding off. Try leaning a shield against a wall, tree, or anything, it'll usually just slide down and fall. As innovative as the physics engine is, the friction setting really doesn't work very well and most things just behave like blocks of oiled styrofoam (or something).

Both of those problems could be fixed, if it is set up to work something like the Ingredeant Sorter, with static weapons and armor. But then you have the problem of size, because to display 1 of everything would take up ALOT of room.
