Does anyone else sort things in their house or shelter in skyrim. In breeze home, I organize things to their category. Such as light armor goes in the dresser and heavy goes in another. Weapons go in a whole seperate area along with jewelry and potions and ingredients. How do you sort your things?

Somewhat. All crafting materials go in a chest, all armor sets in one place, unique single pieces in one, all weapons in one, jewelry in one, and all jewels in one.

do you seperate light and heavy armor? I think it provides a easier and faster way to get to the armor you want

No. I almost always use Heavy. And I only store unique armor and their matching sets.

Kind of. One container is for jewelry, one for misc stuff, others for unique weapons/armor, etc. If the decorating aspect of houses (dropping items, moving them around, placing them on stuff) was as good as it was in Fallout 3, my house would look much more organized and nicer.

In my hearthfire home I separate as well. Something like:

-any armor or weapon that I like but have no intent on using goes on a weapon rack , plaque or mannequin.
-any weapon/armor that have the intent to enhance (grindstone, workbench) gets kept in its own chest.
-after a weapon or piece of armor is improved it gets moved to another chest with the intent on enchanting
-after it's enchanted it goes into yet another chest with the intent to sell.
-all my house improvement items (iron ingots, glass,..etc) gets kept in its own container.
-any weapon/armor that I have designated for a follower gets kept in its own chest


I'm sure there's much more. I'm somewhat of a neat freak and like everything organized.

To an extent.

Beverages go in a certain place, meats in another. Simple stuff like that.

Only own Breezehome at the moment. All the armour and weapons I have crafted goes in the chest next to my bed, all the trophies from worthy prey (not wild animals...men, mer and beasts!) in the set of drawers to the left of the bed (looking towards the bed), all the pretty gems, other jewelry and any dragon scales and bones in the ones to the right. Special weapons go into the same chest as my crafted gear, and I have a 'miscellaneous' set of drawers next to the door. Food items go in one of the sacks next to the entrance, books in the bookcase in alphanumerical order, potions and alchemy ingredients in the drawers in the kitchen, and then any hides, ingots, etc in one of the drawers by the firepit.

I cannot mix gifts and crafted armour. The only exception is the Fur Armour set because that cannot be crafted. Enchanted weapons and armour do get mixed in because they are unique anyway (well...they are shinies, I have a habit of always keeping them!). I certainly cannot mix my trophies with anything else.

Yes I love to organize my house. But I find it hard to decorate in any Hearthfire house because items always reset.

I sort out everything in any house I have ever owned in TES games. If anything is not in its right place I start to get the shakes.

I sort it out partially between my houses.

I'm a nut for organizing stuff.

That's why I currently use http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/32676//? and I'm looking at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10045/?tab=1&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D10045%26preview%3D&pUp=1. They should be compatible as they essentially add new items all together and don't actually "change' anything.

But I definitely separate everything. Well, maybe not armors, but still.

Crafting materials in one, ingredients in one, potions in another, separate for weapon, armor and clothes.

try to separate raw and prepared food and drinks. One for unique items, one for odd items.

Finally one for to sell stuff.

Latest is my mod

will release an update on it with updates for new ingredients. and hopefully better placement meshes.

This is my organazation for my breezehome:

When you enter the house there is a cabnet, i put my food in there, in the alchemy room, i put my books on the top shelf, notes on the bottom, upstairs, there is some cabnets, i put my misc. stuff in there, in my room, i put my armor and wepons in the chest (which will soon be full) and in the dresser, i put my potions there.

And if i run out of space i still have my colledge of winterhold room.

And sadly, my breezehome is glitched and the wepons rack doesnt work.

Then don't use the glitch to own Breezehome without buying it (yes, I read your other thread). Obviously it's a bit late for that now, but keep it in mind in future.

... busted.
