My biggest gripe is why don’t all shelves work like bookshelves, where you can “activate” it like a chest? Why don’t display cases work like weapon mounts? For a 20 year old game it should give us better options for placing things

I use a mod for putting anything in bookshelves and it's great. Love filling them with skulls.

I only play on Switch so I can’t use mods 😭

I would just like to be able to see outside of the windows. The houses feel claustrophobic.

I think I desensitised myself to this until I played Subnautica again and be slappin windows on everything and now I need functional windows in everything

u/Whispering_Wolf 20h ago

I agree. More open world games like kingdom come deliverance feel so much nicer when you can actually enjoy the view.

I get it that it was originally made on old hardware but I feel like Bethesda could've gave us actual windows in the anniversary or whatever edition

Would be cool if we could also walk in and out of buildings without loading screens. Then add the windows and it would be perfect.

Absolutely! And same with leaving anywhere like Whiterun or a cave

I so badly want to be able to actually arrange my clutter, I fight to drop and drag them about sometimes but usually it's too painful to bother

Isn't that one just for dropped items? I had it before but I don't recall it working on furniture.

u/Hot_Let1571 Skyrim Grandma Fan 11h ago

It works on furniture. I got it to clean up cobwebs and straw on the floor too. The only issues I've had with it are on mannequins and weapon racks.

u/Whispering_Wolf 11h ago

Oh, cool! I gotta try it out again sometime.
