I never have a problem with coming to my house and everything i placed is on the floor. Just dont use storm call in your house or you will have a big mess to clean up or feel like a hoarder like i did

Its a bug.

Here I thought bethesda wanted to improve this. Its far worse from oblivion.

I can only grab form the middle of an item, i cant rotate them, the physics are completely bugged and everythings on the floor again when I come back. Hopeless.

See, I had a different problem. I had an Oblivion moment in Skyrim. I was nicely stacking up the books and journals I had collected and then something went wrong, horribly, horribly wrong. They all melted through the bookshelf. I was royally pissed as all could be. -.-

Ugh, tell me about it. I quite honestly never thought they could make it worse than it was in oblivion and fallout. I loved using it in oblivion to decorate though because I could just release the button and tap it again quickly to grab exactly where I wanted and manipulate it that way. Then fallout came out and I was stuck clicking a control stick which failed harder than oblivion's, and now with skyrim we're stuck locking onto the middle of the item, it's taken me around 3 hours just to set the freaking table in breezehome. :banghead: My guess is that the physics are a tad bit jacked up at the moment. I never thought I'd find a chance to say "it was better in oblivion" but I guess this situation warrents it lol.

I don't trust those anymore, one of them ate my ghostblade and it was never to be seen again and another keeps throwing the ebony blade acrossed the room everytime I come home. Heck some of them are just plain glitched in my houses and I can't even activate them or anything, it's getting frustrating. I give Bethesda some points for trying but until they're fixed I'm just keeping my weapons in chests.

how do you mean? what do you mean by mouting things on the wall with paintbrushes?

You can only drink alcohol, which is most liekely also true for your characters mother. Constantly being attacked and half eaten by the Living Dead probably dosent help that
Also Mountains as well as Ruins are good indicators for increased tectonic activity.

Paint brushed had no physics or gravity. You could place them and they would stay there in the air.

There was a better way to display armor in a vanilla Oblivion though. It was with Masterpugs guide. He showed how you could turn NPCs into statues and place whatever you wanted on them.

I tried for a while to get the butterfly in a jar that I found to sit upright. I finally gave up, lol.

Yes, so annoying. I also wish you could take the sombreros off the wall. Less dreamcatchers, more weapon and armor racks please.

And why is every chair in Skyrim nailed to the floor?

Guess what happened?

Those books the bookshelf decided to eat, were spit right back unto the floor. I guess it didn't like the taste of the books. -.-

Your decoration skill isn't high enough.

Yeah, you shouldn't have to smash a cup or bowl against a wall to get it right side up then have to do it all over again because you took one step bacwards and the cup or bowl moved, in real life you can just set a thing on a table and be done with it rather than fight with the fixture for half an hour.

i dropped a raw rabbit's leg on the floor of my house and spent nearly an hour trying to pick it up and put it on a shelf. exacerbating! and rather comical too. the physics of this game are comical, walk into a room the wrong way and all the vegetables go flying, it's almost like living in lowered gravity.

HAhahaha yeah we need to work on the decor skill. The first perk is feng shui.

Sometimes I get a rare glitch where I load a save and all of the furniture is gone. All of it. Bookcase becomes pile of books on the floor. Bed becomes nonexistent. Shelves vanish and leave heaps of whatever they held on the floor. Tables? Gone, food thrown on floor. I have to reload to an autosave from entering the house to fix it.

Why are mannequins always tucked away in some dark corner where you can't even see the armor you displayed?

There's a certain statue that refuses to stay up on the fireplace mantle as well. I've given up on dragonclaws.

I agree. Rather than crappy physics (people dying in unnatural positions, weapons and objects flying and bouncing everywhere and the minimal contact and animal carcasses sliding down the mountains for miles!) I'd rather have no physics at all. I hope someone puts out a MOD for that

Haha my mage tower was full of floating paper lanterns. I loved doing that. Honestly, the only thing that was hard in Oblivion was books. They fixed that, but now everything else is hard to place. The physics are broken, as when you grab a bottle at the top, the bottom doesn't go down. It just stays in the same position, and I have to bang it against the wall to get it facing the right way. Then I turn back around to place it on a table, and as I turn around, the angle gets messed up again. It's so aggrivating. >:=-(

Bethesda Please Please fix this issue. It is so annoying not being able to place objects in your house. Also I'd love it if we could have more display racks/boxes/sheilds etc to display our treasures.
Also placeable chests and satchels so you can place a chest and then store whatever you want in it. Handy for alchemy to have a satchel on the alchemy bench like in Whiterun. Also please add a rotate with d-pad feature so items can be placed without having to rub them up against things to get them the right way up. Look don't get me wrong I love the game but walking around my house and hoarding items is just so appealing in Elder Scrolls Games I just dont know why Bethesda won't cater to it with their houses in Skyrim. :confused:

And what's up with the Solitude mansion not having any display cases? Hm? It's making my eye twitch.

one of the first things i did when i got the game was i tried picking things up

the first object i picked up slowly rotated and re-oriented itself so that it was ready to be put down properly someplace
and i thought to myself BRILLIANT what an ingenious solution they've come up with to make placing objects easier..

turns out it was just a coincidence and it never happened the same way again

I think for the Mannequins they just copied/pasted the basic script that has been around since the Morrowind days (I remember doing a mannequin mod myself for Morrowind which also let the player change the six of the mannequin so that both armor types could be displayed - something that Skyrim still hasn't!). Basically, the mannequin is a live actor whose behavior AI is deactivated immediately once the player enters the cell so this "mannequin-NPC" stays frozen in place. Small movements are possible and likely to occur.

PS: anybody tried to see if mannequins can report crimes? LOL!

Have you tried decreasing the difficulty to novice or something?

Oh, how I wish it was easier to decorate based on difficulty level. I would find that so ridiculously funny.
