items vanishing from container bug

[LadyJade90]

is there a mod or fix for this bug somewhere? even after splitting my items up into many different containers in my various houses im still getting this bug and idk how to stop it or fix it

Edit:after doing some testing i have confirmed gear at 100 condition and below doesnt trigger the bug at least not without way way more items but at 125 condition the bug triggers so a mod that reverts gear stored in chests to 100 would help mitigate the bug happening

Thanks to this I might store the most important items on my person. Thanks for the post. Anyone else experiencing this?

The bug can occur even in your inventory although it seems to stop when i remove items from my inventory unlike the chests which seem permanently bugged for my save

I thought this was happening to me, but the items are all still there. They're just "hidden" because there's so many items in the container. Basically the container's inventory is not listing all the items inside of it. At least in my case, anyway.

That is what's happening to me but even when i empty the containers the effect is sticking around

The only safe containers are the standing bags. Sticking your inventory in any other container is a gamble.

all containers in all player owned houses are safe containers that dont reset

How/In what way are you spreading out your items among your containers?

It supposedly happens when items with health stack within a container (weapons and armor). Since ensuring no items (of that nature) are stacking in any of my containers I've not had the issue.

at the moment all the enchanted weapons are seperate from non enchanted same for armor most of the duplicate gear has been removed keeping only a handful i could try reducing what i have further but aside from arrow stacks i dont really have any gear better then mithril i havent gone super far i was mostly leveling skills, wandering, and doing side quests avoiding any major ones. is the bug specific to containers or does the bug affect all containers? i dont remember the original oblivion bugging out with all containers just the overstuffed one but i could be remembering wrong

This issue only appears when both:
- You have a lot of items in a chest
- You have stacked armor or weapons

Just make sure you don't have any stacked weapons or armor and it should work fine. So no armor or weapons with count 2 or more.
I have a separate chest for all duplicates so the issue is only on that chest.
It also helps to have separate chests for armor and weapons.

As mentioned the items don't actually disappear - if you remove the stacked items the hidden items should reappear.

Seems to happen with any and all containers, even saw it in my inventory while I was going through the process of fixing it (by taking about 2k weight worth of armors into my inventory). This bug definitely existed in the past but it's one of those bugs that's easy to miss until you've really overloaded a container with multiple stacks of items that have health.

I've been keeping rather extremely loaded containers now, filled with various weapons and armors but with no items (that have health) that are identical. If they're the same item I make sure they have different health values and don't stack. My 7 Kvatch Cuirasses are now spread across my various homes.

I haven't stored anything yet as items were disappearing. I'm using a mod to give me near infinite carrying capacity. I hope they patch this in their first patch, as I want to organise my loot.

keep anything above 100 condition from stacking and that should be enough until a fix or mod comes around

all containers in all player owned houses are safe containers that dont reset

Except for two in Anvil's house that are disabled after its quest.

there's a mod that marks all usable storage with an asterisk i use that to make it easier buy yeah the anvil house is an exception to the rule i assume because it has a whole quest attached to it
