Just curious for any of you using basement mods or any other type mods:

How do you place items on display on shelves or in display cases (or can you). I open the glass cover but there isn't an option (like in buy/sell) to drop an item.

Thanks for any help.

You drag them, with Z on the PC. It's very hard to do though. I use a mod for books, and it's fine, before I didn't even bother. I do not bother with the display cases either, it's very hard to place something, and even if you do when you do, the physics system can muck it up.

PC version: just stand far away from where you want to place the item, otherwise you'll get a message saying "You are too close, etc"

Ok. Stand far away drag the item; still holding the item, hit the W key and walk over where you want to place the item. I've put Daedric Shields, exotic weapons, etc in the showcases- no problem.

The only problem I've found is trying to place items like books, potions, etc., upright. Haven't figured out a way to do that yet.

Locate the hand at the top edge of the book. Lift carefully, place very gently.

If you grab the book in the middle, it will never stand up. Same goes for 'planters' if you knock them over. Pick them up by the flowers, not by the pot.

A little care is needed, that's all.

if ur on xbox version iv heard from another person which iv tryed and it works that u can use the left bumper as ur z key....i dont c wat the problem is...i think its REAL easy to place items exactly...its not hard when u add in the physics...all u need to figure out is where to grab it on the item depeneding on where u want to put it...

In my house, I put a bunch of statues standing up on tables and stuff thattook me 30 minutes to get it perfect. After when i came back it started sinking through the tables. Then when i came back to the house a couple of times the statues went right through the upstairs floor and all over my main floor. I was mad!

Thanks Fljotsdale! I'm going to clean up the book clutter now.
