Moving objects up/down in building mode

[Nytar]

I've watched dozens of videos all saying "Hold E and use mouse wheel" this does NOTHING for me. controls are all default, zero mods. the mouse wheel will only pull it towards me more away from me (aggravatingly slow at times). but never up/down.

when I owned the game straight from Bethesda (lost account name/password years ago) I could move the blocks all over the place with no issues.

Check out the "Help" section in the Main/Pause menu. It explains the controls you're looking for.

In HELP menu, scroll down to Wsh. Menu. Scroll down in the right window to "Object Manipulation." Good to go. This is Vanilla. No mods.

Wait, what?

You hold said block, you move your mouse forward (look up), the block goes up.
While looking up, roll mouse wheel forward, block goes further up.
Pull the mouse back/roll mouse wheel back, the block comes down.

What am I missing?

In response to OP, or are you talking about missing more controls?

Yes, response to OP, should have been clear on that point.

IIRC, you have to push down on the mouse wheel while turning the mouse wheel up and down. Mind you, I have "Interact" set to mouse 3 (push down on the wheel). YMMV.

oddly, I fired the game back up and now all of a sudden (after I posted) its working by holding the E key (like it used too last time I had the game)

yes, there is a more finer detailed way of controlling the height with out all the wonkiness of just further/closer and moving your mouse up and down. how it SHOULD work (and does once again) is holding E while using the mouse wheel will raise/lower it while keeping the same x/y axis. this way you can be closer to what you are manipulating for better placement.

Lol, 700hrs in and I learn a new trick.

Can someone give me a VERY simplified ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ answer without all the "this and that" talk? Also, I tried the mouse wheel when holding E and it didn't do s**t except put me into first and third person.

it gets no simpler than HOLD E AND USE MOUSE WHEEL... if you are having an issue with this then make sure you are up to date on the patches. if thats not to hard for you.

You aren't in build mode, then.
