Alright this has been annoying me for hours now, i got all the items fixed in place in my house in solitude the way i like them and i save and leave the house to go to the blacksmith and when i returned all my items were all scattered on the floor like a bomb hit the place. Each time i replace them they keep goin all over the floor. Anyone have this happen to them or know how to fix it?

yeah it happens to me too. i just gave up lol. i blame it on the girl serving me

yeah housecarl is pointless she ruins the place when im gone

Ok i solved the problem, soultion (for all that want to know) is to not force things, so basically hover the item over where you want it and drop it (from a short height) and if it doesnt go where you want then retry but DONT try to force it into the position because that causes the item to be stuck inside the container/table etc which when the room loads again when you reenter will cause the only one item being able to take up the space and because most tables/shelves etc are fixed the plates/cups/food/weapons go flying around the room in attempt to find a spot that isnt taken up by another object

It's the underwear gnomes...

is that why I spent ages putting all my gems, diamonds etc.. into bowls and I come back and they all over the floor again

I noticed that i dropped a few things on the bed at the inn of Whierun to try move them with the grab option. I moved them over to the drawers, later i got back to the room and they where on the bed.

Haven't tried decorating my house yet tho.
