The whole point of the house, is to have somewhere to stay, to store items etc.
Now that they've added wall mounts and cases to customize it more and just generally make it look better...
Why go and do something stupidly ugly like this?! :

It looks stupid, doesn't even look good, what was the point in that?!

Also, the Skull of Corruption on the weapons rack faces to the left. (I forgot to take a picture)
It should be looking forward! Why looking to the left?! It's just stupid!

Also: Hurry up and fix the things with mannequins and thing being thrown around the house, I wan't to put things on shelves and tables, and fill some kettles with gems and gold!

Why couldn't they have simply made the axes face in on each other? It would look so much better.
They've done it with other weapons too, it looks so bad, they ruined it.

lol.

Okay okay, I don't want to just be a troll so I'll do more than just laugh. I'll just tell you that weapon racks and most things with houses are just pretty broken right now. It feels like something they didn't really test.

Axe of Whiterun mounts with the blade facing out. I ended up having to toss it in a chest.

I know, that's kinda one of my points.
I supposed houses are a pretty "big" feature in this game, yet there are so many bugs? For pretty much everyone.
And they are quite simple, easy bugs.
Still they haven't given us a patch for them?
Since release we've had like 1 patch, that's done barely anything, and for some made the game worse.

I've had to do that with a few things too, it's just so annoying, because I want to make my house look good, but I don't want a limit on that.

Well PC is on 1.3 now, so I think that's three patches and I think it fixes the 1.2 one where it broke resistances. The glitches are very inconsistent, too. On one game on one account (on PS3) my weapon displays didn't work at all. On another game on the same account, they will work. And on my first account I can have two characters but on the other two accounts I can only have one character at a time. The only time I did try my weapon displays, it ate up a unique weapon I had just acquired and I was disappointed but this is a game I play a lot and restart a lot so I was able to get it again.

Hopefully they'll fix houses soon.

Well I'm on PS3, and so far I only have the 1.2 patch.
My display cases are pretty good, there's one that I know of is glitches, the wall mounts work fine, but as in my first picture some of the weapons get placed on stupidly. Also it won't let me place Wuuthrad on a wall mount or a display case, it just throws it on the floor. (Yes I completed the companions quest line and I went back to the statue and took the weapon from it because it's a cool weapon.)
Weapon racks, all I know of are the scimitar Windshear won't place on there, it gets thrown on the floor the same with Wuuthrad, and the Skull of Corruption gets place on looking to the left..
The mannequins.. well shields don't work on them (I have no idea if they're even supposed to) In order for my armour to appear, I need to put it all on, and then take one piece away. When I leave the house and come back in they're invisible.
And the whole free placing thing I don't even want to try yet, because I know it'll get thrown around.

I don't mind that. What I mind is coming back to my house and having all the pans, pots, and lanterns I moved off a table so I could place an object I wanted there (And in this respect, I will say that Oblivion's system was MUCH better than Skyrim's- the objects in OB had physics dependent on where you grabbed them, Skyrim's float on a balance point, apparently)- are back on their original table, on top of the things I put there

I have been blaming Lydia, but I know that the objects are just re-setting

Decided to use this thread rather than create a new one.

Does anyone know which houses (if any) have not been reported to have any bugs or glitches? I'm considering buying the Solitude house but I don't want to spend all the gold for a buggy house like I did in Windhelm...

I see your point, but in Oblivion, the display system svcked, things often got thrown around, I like the fact Skyrim has solid, set placements.

I have all of the house, though I only use Whiterun and Windhelm ones.
I did use the Solitude one for a small period of time, and the only bug I found was the weapons rack in the basemant, the far left and far right slot couldn't be used. But not everyone gets the same bugs.

I really REALLY want to be able to free place things quickly and easily. I only have xbox version, so Beth its over to you......

I'm with you on that, I have alot of items I wish to place freely, Gray fox bust, a really cool flying bee in a jar, dragon puzzle claws etc.
