Here Is the process that I use, is there something wrong with it?:
I load up creation kit select skyrim.esm and also the plugin I've been working with and set the plugin as the active file.
I load the cell up and put an item into it using drag and drop, sometimes If I put multi ple items in I just copy an item and paste it. Then I hit the save icon and load up the game, I make sure to check my plugin file before starting. I have my player saved outside the cell I am adding items to to avoid some buggyness but when my character opens the cell only some of the items I put in show up. I just put items in the rooms for decorating purposes but why isn't it working?
