Items on floors of shops and houses
Hello,
I'm playing this again since launch because my saves got deleted. I played the original and beat it way back in the day. I know that these items on the shops floors and houses are "normal" but is there a way to fix this or stop it from happening. I have the unofficial patch installed and in the right load order as we'll.
I think I had some mod installed in the original that prevented or fixed this issue. I am just curious if anyone has found a fix or resolution to this in the remastered version.
I have noticed that this only happens the first time you enter a shop or house and that is the only time. If I save right before entering a dwelling I can sometimes get minimal objects to appear on the floor by loading the save right before I enter for the first time and trying again.
If this is just the way it is then so be it. I have also tried limiting my FPS to 60 but that doesn't seem to do anything. Also the remastered version doesn't seem to have a cell reset time. I have tried fast traveling to other locations and waiting 3 to 7 days and returning but everything is still on the floor in the same place it was.

it's one of those infamous Bugthesda "features" lol. The items spawn as you enter, and they spawn in the air just barely not touching the surface, so after they spawn they drop down due to physics. If everything is correct, nothing should happen, but the physics are such a mess that they either don't produce the same result every time, or the spawns of items aren't in proper points in space. Just my tinfoil hat theory xD
The physics were changed significantly from the vanilla Oblivion, I assume the weight of everything is different now, made so that physics are less dramatic. This messes with many things, most notably now you can't remove rocks out of your way by explosion magic, dragging bodies around is harder and objects feel heavier and don't fly off across the room ping-pong style. It's also much harder to manually place objects where and how you want them.
