Did you make all the changes in one plugin file? Or do you have several .esp files? It's also important to make sure other mods or your saved game are not conflicting with your mod. Try testing with a new game and without any other mods active.
ok i started a new game w/ any data files loaded and went throught the tatorial and then saved and loaded it w/ the mods and my stuff still wasnt there but i could see the terrain changed. im running on XP do i have to do anything to the file after i save it on the cs?
To clarify what WillieSea said; Anything placed inside the Tamriel worldspace can't be seen from within a city worldspace, and anything placed within a city worldspace can't be seen from Tamriel.
