Items falling through the floor

[Ratboy]

I know this has been posted a thousands times but when will it be fixed? All the DLC is out, start fixing bugs that make the game less fun. I spend a lot of time trying to make my settlements look cool with decorations that I find but when it all falls to the floor or even though the floor into oblivion I get frusterated.

That is why you should use mods for decorative items, because they are locked in. They are not going to fix it, so that is your best choice.

Its a shame people have to resort to mods to fix bugs.

It's a problem with the engine since Fallout 3. It's a very widely known issue

that makes the engine older then moast of the people that play the game, sure its been updated but it really needs to be taken out back and shot and a replacement added

What causes items to fall through tables or the floor is either when the cell resets or when you walk into your settlement and the cells do not load all items in them at the same time.

What happens is that the items you hand placed on display spawn before the table, shelf or floor does. Sometimes it's just a matter of using a different table/shelf or a different type of flooring and the items you place will stay put.

What works 99% of the time to keep your display intact is to only fast travel in and out of the settlement. That way all cells and the items in them load before you spawn in the settlement. The last 1% of the time is when the cell your items are displayed in resets and spawns tables and items out of sequence. That does not happen on every cell reset, but it does happen occasionally and I don't know a fix for it. With the cell reset problem I've found that if I move the display that is falling through something to a different area, that can sometimes keep it from happening again.

the collision models and the glitches and bugs that come with a gamelogic tied to the FPS

If its known and been an issue since possibly morrowind why hasn't Bethesda fixed it?

because it's tied into the engine, as others have said.
