I'm here because I couldn't really find a straight answer on the internet. I have been playing skyrim for 60 hours now (xbox 360) on one character and my file size is about 7MB. Since I am really scared that one day my game might start freezing because of higher save file sizes I have been really careful not to screw up too much in the world, I even sometimes wait for 30 days just so that everything is reset again, but then I started noticing weapons lying on the floor from bandits etc that were killed by the catapultic force of my ice spikes >30 days earlier, even though the bandits had dissapeared. Is there anyway to get rid of that stuff all at once or do i really have to go to visited places and pick them all up and stick them in dead bodies for them to respawn, I also was wondering what happens with arrows that 1. are shot and stuck in an object (say a barrel) and 2. that are shot and are just rolling over the ground or floor, will both of them be removed as I wait for 30 days?
I guess what I really would like is to have some way to completely reset the world of skyrim, except for the things I achieved: cleared dungeons, visited places, skills, items, quest progress etc, but I am pretty sure there is no way, or is there?
