Weapons Rack : V - Skyrim

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 6:15 pm

There has been a patch announced for consoles. I REALLY hope that this issue is addressed. It would set my mind at ease if I simply knew it would be. As of right now I don't expect them to fix it. Also, placing items is an issue as well. Items that are dropped and then placed on shelves, tables, etc. appear where you originally dropped them after you leave the area and come back. This is a huge nightmare for anyone that likes to display items around their houses.

I know it may sound silly and many people may not like to do this but after coming back from a quest one of my favorite things to do was to come "home" and put all my new stuff around my house. This really messes that system up. Also the grab function in Skyrim is not nearly as good as the one in Oblivion. I'd like to be able to grab different ends of items and not have the game center the item automatically.

I guess all we can do is hope it has been addressed, i also like to horde items and it's very annoying having to repeat it and moving the items is a nightmare you can't seem to rotate it like in oblivion.

None of my weapon racks are working in Breezehome. I'm on a 360.

No, it is NOT 'user error'. It is a glitch. The prompt is not given.

Yeah it's not working for me either. I had my weapon drawn and hitting the button all over that rack and wall mounts too, with a few different weapons, and it would not work.

just make sure the weapon you want on the rack is equiped and in the correct hand. works fine for me.

side note, anyone find anything similar for armor?

Wrong.

I reiterate for people like you insisting such: It is NOT user error. It is a glitch. It is working for you, but it is not working at all for others. Yes, we have the weapon equipped. So many of you who insist that it works do not understand - we are not getting *any prompt at all*. Not even the instructional prompt.

For those having the same problem, I reloaded a prior save and repurchased the same upgrade three times to no avail. After the fourth time, it finally worked. But now the rack above the bed is not working.

Someone else claimed that buying them all at once would dodge the glitch. That didn't work for me. Only buying them one at a time did, which is contrary to other experiences.

I hope this gets patched.

You should be able to simply walk up to it and be provided with the option to display your weapon. You must have it "equipped" but you don't actually have to have it out like many people think. But mine simply does not give me the option. Nothing pops up.

This.

So when I started this thread I didn't expect many answers I just wanted Bethesda to know this problem was out there. I have some mini answers. I hit new game because the racks were not working and it was really aggravating me. When I hit new game and bought the home again everything was working just fine. Well then I was forced to hit new game again because all my data was corrupted on my PS3 and I bought the home in Windhelm and the racks were again not working. So I saved the game and turned it off and back on and they worked. So in conclusion I have 2 things for you to try. 1. Save and turn it off then back on and 2. New Game, which I don't suggest because it is not a guarantee that it will work. I hope this helps some of you out and if not sorry. Bethesda really needs to patch it.

The weapon rack and all weapon plaques in Breezehome work great, but none of them work in Honeyside. I play on PS3.

I did, nice little touch in my small shack.

SHACK?! In Vanilla game? How do I get it

:D

Playing on PS3 and none of my weapon racks work. None . Even the wall racks . Bookshelves are working great . Not sure about manikins . When I place stuff it doesn't stay in place :banghead: . I do agree, not being able to rotate items being used to decorate, makes it very hard to. I cant have my helmet collection!! Every elder scrolls, I always collected helmets and displayed them on shelves.

So I have to agree it's a bug, hopefully Bethesda hears us. :whisper:

False, they all work for me

Here's how to get it to work. I spent a long time trying to figure this out...

You have to buy all the upgrades at the same time, before you ever enter the house.

Wrong. Please see my reply earlier in this thread.

In fact, as a general rule, it's a good idea to read the thread before replying.

Mine wors fine. I only have one though, in my Whiterun house. You equip a weapon FIRST, then activate the rack.

PS, I'm a 360 gamer.

The weapon racks in my Windhelm home worked fine, but the dagger racks ate my daggers... They are still there but I can't get them out anymore. I can put another one in though, so I have 2 daggers in the same rack. One clipped into the other...

Hope this gets fixed, when's the patch due anyway?

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 3:12 pm

I have gotten all weapon racks and plaques to work in the two houses I've bought so far. Save your game before you purchase. It took me hours, but I figured it out eventually. I'll be happy to share if anyone's interested. It will work, eventually. It was very important to me. Now if they'd just fix the fact that items drop back on the floor after you leave and come back and the TERRIBLE grab feature (go back to Oblivion's where you can actually grab the item in different places) I'd be great!

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 8:04 pm

It's a confirmed bug and a random one at that. Only solution ATM is to save before you buy a house and reload if the rack isn't working otherwise, you are relying on an upcoming patch to fix it.

I have all the racks and bookshelves working in Breezehome for my second character. Trick was to buy the home and all the upgrades before setting foot inside the house. FINALLY!!!

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:18 am

Yep, houses are currently a wee bit bugged. If you move an item where somthing in the house used to be (like a simple pitcher or somthing) then the item will be knocked down when you come back.

Weapon racks are very inconsistant with which ones work and which ones dont. At my Solitude home I can usually get two slots to work, the others dont even have the option. Im hoping this coming up patch fixes them.

The rack in Whiterun works fine for me, strangely enough tho the rack in Solitude only works for the center 3 spaces, not the outer 2

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 7:12 pm

I had this problem with my first character. None of the weapon racks or plaques worked, no prompt or anything. Then I read about buying all the upgrades at once.

When I started my new character I saved up to get everything at once and that worked, everything is working as it should. Worth a try at least since it's the only workaround that I've seen posted. Bummer if not even that works for you though.

My Blade of Woe moves to the right on the rack a little bit every time i enter my house. Very random...

Try placing the ghostblade on a rack, it gets hung about 3 feet above the rack

I also seem to have an empty room in the basemant as if I missed an upgrade, but I haven't.

That's for storing dead bodies.
