Unnecessary violence help

[Vault]

I killed a vampire and my knife got stuck in its head. It looks cool but I need it back lmao. I pressed the selected UV action button, attack button, and even the throwing button and none work. I looked it up and couldnt find an answer. It looks cool and all but this is really annoying. And it isnt in the inventory either. Any ideas?

Remove the mod. If it doesn't do things that you like, remove it.

I like the mod its this one thing and I'm looking for how to fix it.

This kind of stuff is prone to happen with UV throwing mechanics, it was never fool proof.

That's why I think I remember that the readme recommends never throw something unique or that you wouldn't want to lose!

I'd bet the actual item fell through the floor into the void and the model stuck in the NPC is just cosmetic (i.e. not actually there) and that's why the retrieval function is not working.

If it's a standard base item, just add a new copy using the console with:

~player.additem <code> 1

You'll just need to lookup the <code> needed for that.

EDIT: Keep in mind that the same thing can happen with the vanilla game "disarm" ability, i.e. if you get disarmed by an NPC, your weapon *can* and often will fall through the world. It's the finicky Oblivion physics engine implementation that causes the issues in the first place.

Just be prepared to save often!

No when you kill a vampire your weapon gets stuck in the vampire. It is removed from your inventory and goes and stabs the vampire and idk how to get it out. I didnt throw the knife slashed and stabbed it till it died. Am tempted to remove the mod but other than this stupid thing I'm enjoying it.

If it happens a lot, i would remove it.

If it does not, do as Leeux suggests and when it happens use the console to add your weapon back.

Damn. Well hanks fellas guess I'm removing it.

I wouldn't. It's caused by the impale setting in the ini. Open the ini and press 'ctrl f' and search "set uvvariablesquest.allowimpales to" and change the 1 to 0. You can still get the odd thing impaled from throwing but you won't just lose weapons from combat.

Okay well just in case you're having trouble finding the UVIII ini it should be at \Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion\Data\ini in wherever you installed steam to.
