Saratje Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Got yourself some broken bookshelves in one of your homes? You can place fewer books on the shelf than you should be able to? Here is how to fix that without mods or changed scripts: Step into the house where the broken bookshelves are. Activate each book shelf in the house and remove all the books through the menu. Empty ALL bookshelves, also the ones which aren't broken. NEVER take the books without using the bookshelf menu, that is what breaks the shelves in the first place. When all the shelves are empty, open the Command Console and type the code below that matches the house you're in. Press enter after each line. Your bookshelves should show the proper number of remaining spaces again.

Sometimes it gets bugged when you read a book and take it, instead of taking books through the book shelf menu. The shelf then thinks there's still books inside it while there aren't and when that happens, you get fewer empty spaces than you should. Q: My bookshelf only shows 11 books while I have put more than 11 books inside it. How come?A: You probably did not empty the bookshelf before using the commands written above. To properly empty it, make sure you USE the book shelf so that you get the menu to take or place books. Do not take the books one by one. Q: How do I fix the bookcases in my Hearthfire home?A: Go into creation kit and open HearthFires.esm. Find the scene of the house. Write down the ref code for any item called PlayerBookShelfContainer. You may have to see with what code the other items in that house start. Replace the first 2 digits of that ref code with the digits you see on the other items in your unofficial house. Q: I got an unofficial house from a mod with broken shelves. How do I fix those?A: Go into creation kit and open the file with the name of the mod, that ends with .ESP. Find the scene of the house. Write down the ref code for any item called PlayerBookShelfContainer. You may have to see with what code the other items in that house start. Replace the first 2 digits of that ref code with the digits you see on the other items in your unofficial house. Q: How do I use the Creation Kit?A: Please refer to the Creation Kit forum here on the Bethsoft forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
