I have a room that I reset daily when I'm not there. Using PCB and then ResetInterior works perfectly, removing anything I've dropped and restoring anything I've used. EXCEPT! ...beer bottles, ale bottles, and the like! Any food I eat gets restored perfectly, but drink a bottle of mead, and it's gone forever.

I've checked both the references and the base items and don't see any flags that might cause this. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Check the http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php?title=Talk:ResetInterior

There is some info there that may help you.

This statement, in particular, may be the answer to you question:

"The slightly longer answer is: Food respawns. Other items don't. Haven't checked non-food ingredients. Scruggs 18:24, 16 October 2008"

Thank you for that lead, I'd found the command page but missed that discussion. It looks like it answers my question.

For anyone interested, the solution was to create a respawning container (in this case, we'll call it a 'fridge') and place those bottles inside.

Thank you again for your help!
