Arshness Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Is there any way to make items placed in the house STAY put where you place them? I stole a Statue of Dibella that I really wanted to put in my house. I placed it on the little longish table against the right wall past the bookshelf and firepit and set up plates with flowers and jewels on it and all... it was perfect. Saved. Left, next time I entered house, it had exploded all over the place. Any items I PLACE outside of a container just throw themselves about. I tried putting the statue on the floor and it still threw itself about. Is there a command or anything that will lock them in place so they won't throw themselves all over the place after I've set them up? Thank you...

Euclid Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 It was like that ever since (Morrowind, Oblivion) so we have to live with that. There is a chance some clever scripter comes up with an idea but we need to wait what features the SE will offer. Cheers Euclid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InuyashaFE Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Once we knuckle down and start modding someone'll probably make a Skyrim version of that decoration assisant mod... I don't know if I got the name right but it was an extremely useful mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placed objects on Oblivion remained where they were placed, and only if you packed a bookshelf to tightly it squeezed out a few books at best. Morrowind didn't even have object physics, you would know that if you had played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineapplerum Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Lol, I tried to redecorate my house...I ended up making a mess. Nothing would stand up right for me. I thought, this will be easier to do with the construction set. I'm just going to wait for that and then redecorate. Until then, my table stays bare.

Placed objects on Oblivion remained where they were placed, and only if you packed a bookshelf to tightly it squeezed out a few books at best. Well, I do remember to had severe problems to place items and if placed successfully, to make them stay where they are. Not only books! Fortunately someone came up with a bookshelf mod. Morrowind didn't even have object physics, you would know that if you had played it. The first part of your statment is correct, the last is false and a tad offensive. I admit it is a while ago I've played Morrowind and maybe I mix it up with Oblivion but I do remember to have opened my inventory and then grab an item, like a sword, to place it somewhere - many times, in fact.

DOGREDRUM43130 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I just wish the stuff the designers put on shelves and tables would stay. I fought every fiber of myself to not collect all the ingredients off the shelves in the Solitude and every time I go in there is more stuff on the floor.

Cheers EuclidThat's not what is meant by object physics - he means objects colliding with each other and spinning off from the impact. Example, in Oblivion you could drop a sword on a table and everything would go flying off, in Morrowind you wouldn't have nearly the explosion of dishes and silverware due to items having physical collision but not having the associated physics to cause them to transfer kinetic energy when smacked into each other.

Aikospacerogue Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 go stand in a random room, take the book out of the inventory and drop it, drag the book to ANOTHER ROOM and place it somewhere, say on a table. go out of the house, go back in , the book will probably be back in the room where you originally dropped it out of your inventory. I tested this a few times, now I just go stand somewhere and dump my books on a pile, not touching them, its messy but they don't move to much. Thusfar books and mats for making armors have this, weapons don't seem to move much, trollskull doesn't move, not sure about human skull. Oblivion had none of this, I'v never had items moving whole rooms after I got back in :s I got no hope of seeing this fixed, to bad I loved displaying my gems all over the place but even those don't remain where I put them.

I fought every fiber of myself to not collect all the ingredients off the shelves in the Solitude and every time I go in there is more stuff on the floor. My stuff mysteriously moves by itself, too! Very scary! I put a piece of horker meat on a Dwemer plate on the floor for my dog before I went out to go exploring. When I came back, the dog was gone, the dwemer plate was upside down on top of the table and the horker meat was across the floor where I had left it. I thought, "Very weird" but I had guessed my dog had a hissyfit because I left him alone too long and threw the plate around. I don't know.But very strange how items in your house move about when you're not home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
