I'm a pretty advanced user on the construction set and the thing that puzzles me is that the find package seems to be broken. If you setup a find package with the target as Object Type Weapons:any, Weapons:melee, or Weapons:ranged, none of them seem to ever work. The other catagories like clothing, armor, ingredients, misc all work just fine. But not weapons. Anybody have any ideas?

No, it does not work for weapons. --> http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Find_Package

Although, you could create a new "object" using a weapon mesh to find, then swap it out for a real weapon if that's your goal.
