Help with playersafe and playerstrongbox

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 11:17 am

Hey all

I want to quickly add that I am new at creating mods and this is my first time designing a player home for Skyrim.

I am using another house mod made by someone else to aid me in creating my one, so I reference from it.

I have been creating a player home for 2 days now and today I added the playersafe and playerstrongbox recently to the house but then when I load my mod in game, the items completely disappear. I go back into the creation kit, load up my mod and the items are gone there as well so then I search the object window to add them again and they dont exist? I was very confused. So then what I did was loaded up the house mod I have been getting reference from and searched the object window again for playersafe and playerstrongbox and they came up.

In summary when I load up the other mod (that isnt mine) I can access the playersafe and playerstrongbox and when I go in game to test it, they disappear otherwise if I dont load up the other mod then I cant find the playersafe and playerstrongbox to add to my mod.

Please can anyone help me so I can add those items to my mod.
P.S I am in love with the creation kit. Tough learning curve but worth it, especially with the tutorials. :)

If those items are in the other mod, they are in the other mod. As in, they aren't in yours. So, they won't show up without the mod they're in.

Load up both his mod and yours in the CK, setting your as the active file. Then just clone his object, and rename it. Should be in yours now.

Thank you for the help! Very much appreciated.
I understand what you saying, but the playersafe is the exact same safe in Proudspire manner? how can there be no safe in the creation kit? or maybe its named differently? And when you say just clone it, do I just duplicate the item in the object window and rename it?

Thanks

Yes, that is what I mean by clone. And the reason it isn't working is because the one in the mod you downloaded is an edited version of the proudspire manor one. So, if you try to use the one from the mod the game goes "Oh, no file there. Guess it isn't there."
Had you been using the one from Proudspire, you wouldn't have this problem.

OH! And remember that if you do use any of his things, you must ask his permission to use them before you publish.
