Hello, I was wondering if items in cities such as cabbages, shields, buckets and other general items like that spawn after a certain period of time. I'm on PS3, and I heard that Skim takes account of everysingle item dropped and other items use up the PS3's memory. So I began to clean up Skyrim, I have gone to the scene of many locations picking up shield from my fallen enemies hoping that would help the memory. So lately I cleaned up Riften (ugly town BTW) and after a while, everything spawned again! Is that supposed to happen? That didn't occur in Whiterun.

I think that after a certain period of time, items left in certain non-secure places will vanish and generic things will respawn. But I can't be dead-sure. I don't leave stuff lying around that much, except in my houses.
