roflsaucers Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Recently, whenever I drop an item, it instantly dissapears forever. I'll see a split-second glimpse of the item hovering in front of me when I drop it in the item screen before it totally dissapears. I think this may have something to do with Hearthfire as I just started adding to the Lakeview Manor home when it started, but I've had no luck tracing it back to any mods or anything like that. I really hate this, because one of my favorite things to do in Skyrim was decorate my homes with trophies or things I'd collected - I've never had any problem of this kind before, in fact the home in Riften had tons of stuff all over the place I'd dropped and arranged, but suddenly this is happening. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Are the items actually vanishing? or falling through the floor? If they are falling through, it is a collision problem. Sometimes you can use TCL in the console and go down to the bottom of the cell and the items will be there. But they may be very difficult to find that way. Think of closing your eyes, and tossing a sword sized object off of the top of a 100 story building into a large field in the dark - then going looking for it. If there is any water in the cell, then it will be under water also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roflsaucers Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 They're actually vanishing. I've checked for them using TCL before. And I know they're not falling through the floor because they dissapear even before I exit out of the Tab menu. When in the Tab menu, the game is essentially paused, so it would be impossible for them to fall through anything, because they wouldn't be moving.
