I have an interesting bug. When a cell respawns items, it seems to work correctly. However, making a save then reloading seems to put all plants which were previously picked back in their previous (picked) state. This is instead of the plants remaining unpicked.

I've tested without any mods or plugins of any kind and on a new install having gone through my hard drives and deleting any file that was related to skyrim. The issue apprears with or without dawnguard, the high texures and any mods. I also tried and replicated the issue on a completely new character.

The plant problem appears regardless of whether I reset the cell using resetinterior, use a reset timer mod, or reset the cell by waiting outside of it for 30 (10) days.

I tested primarily with the Arch-mage's Quarters. I picked most of the items in the alchemical garden, then left and reset the cell. I also took all the potions next to the alchemy stand. I then saved. The save image shows the garden and potions still back. But when I reload, the garden is always missing the plants I picked. The potions are always repawned. I also tested this with the plants near the Blue Palace in Solitude.

Is anyone else having this issue? It all started because I was tired of my quarters looking dull because I'd picked all the plants. So I downloaded a mod to change the reset times to a day. It seemed to work, but when I loaded the last save the garden was gone again. I think at this point I've tried everything I can think of and the issue doesn't appear on google searches or the list of bugs that I could see. Installing the Unofficial Patch doesn't help.
