How do i make items appear in my inventory?

[ShylaEighteen]

k so, i used to put items i've edited in the anvil castle courtyard. simple click and drag and press F /move it into position, but now it doesn't work.

 

the items are some of the vanilla oblivion deadric armor pieces with some custom enchantments. when i played several months ago and used to do this it worked every time. now they stay their in construction set yet in game they are not their. i've walked the ground to make sure their mass isn't their without the visible part. and it's not.

 

I've checked my other mods double checking their's no conflicting part and their's not. I've remade the custom armor several times, re loaded mods. also reloaded all of oblivion, and reloaded construction set. all a handful of times to make sure i never overlooked anything. i once again just barely dragged them into the window and pressed f over the spot i want them at and still nothing. and what i type in to try and add it into inventory is this exactly;

 

Player.additem 00037487 "1"

 

and it gave me the no item exists thing. I'm also trying to add the new frostmourne mod into that same area which also has a custom enchantment. i've at times mad new item references such as,,

 

AAALONGSWORD or soemthing like that under the weapons tab in construction set. and i've also not changed the idea and just changed the weapons stat/armor stats. urm. i've tried to put it into an npc's inventory to see if i could kill them and get it as their death weapon. i've tryed adding it to an npc's vendor list, and when i talk to them they have none of the items in their sale's list. i've also tried adding crates, chests, barrels etc to the world and putting them in their. nothing has worked. right now the only thing i haven't tried off the top of my head is to make it like a "player start spell" so that it will show up in my inventory next time i play, but i don't know how to do that. I'm pretty sure it's not something i'm doing wrong but a technical difficulty. i've rechecked several different tutorials that mention adding items into the world, making new shops, my first dungeon, etc.

 

Bottom line i'm trying to add these items into an easy accessable place or vendor for my character and my friends character to get to (he uses my computer from time to time). and nothing thus far has worked. and no i've never messed with any nif files or anything. urm atm the mods i'm using are.

and also i used the new body meshes from that one mod i think rank 7 or so on top 100.

and for an update, i just barely did the player.additem to the vanilla armor pieces i added enchants to, and the armor appeared, but none of the stats had been changed. no enchants, no edited armor value nothing. so i feel like construction sets changes aren't showing up in game. i mean if i save it to a mod, close and re open construction set, it will still be their the way i modded it, but nothing shows up in game.

You are trying so many things that you are getting us all confused, as Nosisab said. From what you said, it is hard to guess whether you have a broken esp, a corrupted software or you are doing something wrong.

 

I suggest you follow some step by step tests, as detailed below. Depending on when and where it stops working, somebody may help you with that particular scenario.

 

1 - Start a brand NEW mod from scratch (a assume you have done this before)

Add a vanilla chest somewhere in the ground.

Save the mod, give it a name, activate it and enter the game.

Is the chest there?

 

2 - Now, add a vanilla sword to the chest inventory and place another of the same sword in the ground, beside the chest.

Save the mod and enter the game.

Are the swords there?

 

3 - Now, create a new item based on that same sword:

Double click it in the Object Window

Change the ID field to something else and click OK

Answer YES to the ‘Create a new item’ question

Add the new sword to the chest inventory and place another one the ground, beside the chest and the vanilla sword.

Save the mod and enter the game.

Are all the items there?

 

4-5 – Repeat steps 2 and 3 with a sword from another mod, like the Frostmourne one.

 

Your answers will narrow down where the problem may be.

[ShylaEighteen]

lol just tryed it. mad a new mod save file, added a chest, checked it onthe data list, and it's not their. it was an already made chest, probably from a dungeon.

[QQuix]

Well . . . this rules out a lot of possibilities.

 

I hope somebody can help you. I have no idea of what the problem may be.

 

A question somebody would ask you pretty soon is: Are you using Windows Vista ?

[ShylaEighteen]

lol no windows vista. just plain windows. and it's strange because it used to work about a year ago, then my graphics card started to die so i stopped playing. i tryed doing it now and it doesn't work, i just got a new graphics card, a much better quality one, and still doesn't work.... any ideas?
