I just want to decorate my house!

Post » Thu May 09, 2013 6:54 pm

Alright I know how to decorate my house, I put a lot of time into it, and I already know how to keep stuff put without them flying about the next time I come back. but there's been a re-occurring problem ever since I started living in any home. :mellow:

I live in just the basic Small Lakeview Manor (no additions), and like all others, it comes with a bunch of default decorations clutter, such as bowls Lanterns, Jugs, all of that crap.

What I do when I decorate is remove all that stuff to have room for things I actually would like to see in my house. The problem is, Every 30 days or so, ALL of that Default clutter respawns, knocking all the things I decorated off (even though the details suggest Lakeview Manor NEVER resets, it seems the Items do)

I tried a few things, like the principle if I left One default item left, the rest wouldn't reset (The same way with Follower's clothing, leave one thing, the rest won't come back). I recently found this didn't work either. :P

So to turn this rant into a question, Is there any way to prevent the Default clutter of a home from resetting? Does it reset it's position if the Default clutter is moved to a different spot in the same cell?

Also I'm on XBOX, so Mods or Console commands aren't much of a solution :o

Any help is appreciated. :)

It doesn't reset if you return between every 10 days.

That all the junk resets and knocks over your decorations is ridiculous, no vanilla houses suffer from this problem so why do Hearthfire houses?

Do Bethesda not want us to personalise our houses?

Hmm, well it's a Solution, just a tedious one that I'd have to constantly remember :mellow:

I'll continue to ponder some alternatives.

You probably don't return to your home very often. :)

No, I do. It's just an annoying thought that I HAVE to return to my house If I didn't want my decorating to be all for nothing, and how I'd be limited from staying away for awhile.

Edit: anyway, why was this moved to Hearthfire? I mention one thing from it, but that isn't at all the main focus. :mellow:

this applies to all houses actually (I've had it done to me in Breeze home too)

I am also fond of house decorating, and with the Hearthfire houses, eventually chose to decorate around the junk, I hate schedules and am often away from the houses for a while. I have done nothing with my nice spooky Vampire infested castle yet, since it has the same problem. So much junk makes it a challenge, but it can still be personalised, just be careful not to move what is there, even a bit, or it can upset things. We have a Hearthfire house decorating thread if any assistance is needed, or inspiration.

None of the vanilla houses have respawning junk, you will only have problems with them if you move what was there else where, as it will eventually return to where it belongs. You take a dislike to anything, just remove it from the house or dump it in storage.

Can't really leave them there, the Default junk takes up every single stand there is in my house. o.o

Do you have any experience in Hearthfire Houses, whether or not Default junk will re-appear to it's original position if Only moved (Not taken into your inventory), and put somewhere else?

If not, then I might have a solution... a very long difficult solution equivalent to just getting rid of them entirely. :ohmy:

I have lots of experience with Hearthfire houses, makes no difference what you do, the junk is just going to magically re-appear, unless you rush back all the time to house sit. Even in a normal vanilla house, just moving it will have it eventually return to its original position. Only the PC players can change the way the game works.

I'll try to figure something out, I go pretty far feats to do simple things in games o.o

I either have to find a way to delete the re-spawn points, or have an automated way of the cell recognizing my presence without having to worry of actually being there :mellow:
