Ok so i bought a plot of land ''Lakeview Manor'' to be specific, however when i attempt to put a weapon, any weapon in one of the glass display cases, the option is not there to add anything, all i can do is open & close the damn thing, i don't see the point. I mean i could do it in any other homes in the cities.

Anyone else have this problem or maybe it's a known glitch idk, i've only had the game like 2 months so there's alot i don't know about the game.

The cases only work if you drop things in manually, to insure they stay there drop them on the floor leave the room. (into the basemant or outside) come back then use the grab function to pick them up and place the items inside.

Yeah, all console users have this. One trick is to do what the above poster said.

Yeah, looks like it's the only option. Thanks for the quick replies guys

Think I had the same problem with lakeview manor.

Now I have a problem with weapon racks, in both my windhelm home and my riften home, when I put a weapon in it pokes out horizontally or worse, floats up in the air 10 feet away from the rack.

You basically upon returning from a tough looting session have to throw everything you want to keep on the floor. Leave the building for a while and then come back and spend countless hours trying to display said items as you would like them. They should then stay put.

Display cases don't work that way, no matter where they are. They are nothing more than a table with a lid. Only bookcases, weapon racks, plaques and mannequins have that option.

Hjerim display cases would automatically place a weapon if you activated them.

Of course they do! Like in the hjerim in windhelm or any other city home for that matter, you have to have a weapon hand ready in order to add it to the display case.

Yeah i know but it's at lakeview manor i want it to work lol. Seeing quite a lot of bugs in the game recently.

That is... interesting.

I think they're confusing plaques/ weapon stands etc with display cases. I have all the homes and my display cases don't auto equip anything.



The cases that are stood up against the wall will do this. The ones with life have to be manually placed.

Lol your mad you pal, tell me your version then ?

I'm not confused.
The boxes that open and close in Hjerim do auto place your equiped weapon when you activate them and stuff.

This ^^

What?

How do some of you people read into that kind of mess?

I honestly didn't know ANY display cases offered that option.

I think the confusion may be between the consoles and the PC version. IIRC the USKP fixes the display boxes in the vanilla game houses so they will put stuff in automatically like a weapon rack.
