my major critique is that some of the items would do well to have the ability to make them "Static" and no longer interactable one dropped/positioned (namely the large dwemer pots and ancient shelves). just bumping against them as I move through my house can sometimes send them careening around and it's very frustrating - I generally just ignore most of bigger pieces. I'm head over heels in love with the pottery you add though, with some of the furniture mods that let you move normally static items around, I can have sections of the house filled with ancient pots and chests that look like I raided an actual tomb.
deadfables' idea is fun, and it got me thinking, I'd loved to see miniature (like, apple-sized) versions of just about everything to arrange as goofy chotchkes and knickknacks. A souvenir shelf or something. Mini versions of your items, the shrines, the Hearthfire trophies, whatever, anything/everything, would be pretty amusing. Now I want to make tiny Dwemer dioramas.
Thanks for the items! This mod really must, as fileosoft and others have said in the comments, be used with Decorators Assistant (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13586) to lock the items in place so spouses, followers, and other NPC's don't walk into them and dislodge them from where you put them.
I look forward to more of your decorator mods! Great job on them!
@scamp500 That is a really good question and idea to implement! I was wondering the same myself
@fileosoft I have actually wondered about "decorator assistant" but was not into decorating until the static models started becoming available... I probably would never have correlated the combination of "decorator assistant" to resolve the only problem I had with this as well as the plants mod. THANK YOU!
@toddkay Awesome work! great ideas, this adds to immersion immensely as far as I am concerned and almost becomes a mini game within Skyrim. THANK YOU AS WELL!
Look at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13586 for the "decorator assistant"... i use it mainly for lock/unlock object... once locked, object cannot be moved but it remain possible to take them... very useful if you dress a low table with plate/food/glass since it is not unusual for wife(s)/follower(s) to jump on table when they stand-up from a chair near... very useful for the second mod of toddkay, these with all these flowers... any NPC will hit flowers furniture placed on the ground and push them away since the navmesh is not adapted for new obstacle... lock them ( the flowers furnitures, not the NPC ) and they don't move anymore...
As for resize, open the console, click the furniture, type "setscale x.xx" where 1.00 is 100%... beware that for container, it only resize the model, not the activator space... so, don't use it on bookself with script who place/order book or object...
You should make the items act like they do in the "Storage Helpers" mod. That way you can resize them, move them and lock them in place. Right now the tables move every time you try to place something on them, then nothing settles on them and everything is on the floor or under the items. The mead kegs won't stay in place at all. And you can't put soul gems in the holders, they only float above/on top of them, they need to be hollowed out to allow items in them. Nice items and great idea, just needs some work and more types of items is always good.
Hi there! I love your mods. Can you help me though? I was able to buy the plants - for your Plants and Flowers decorations mod - but the items for this one will not show up for either Belethor or the Solitude vendor.
It used to work a month ago, and I saw the special decorations in Belethor's list. But now it doesn't show up in Misc anymore. I even removed and reinstalled House Decorations to see if it would work. Perhaps it has something to do with the load order? Or the other mods that also add to Belethor's sell list, like Better Wieldable Lantern (it adds a book and two notes)?
Edit: Think I solved it! Not sure why, I set House Decorations to load after the Plants and Wieldable Lanterns mods, and I can see the decorations on sale! I think Lanterns is the more likely culprit since it too adds to vendor's lists. Anyway I can buy all these lovely furniture now. Endorsed!

It'd be cool if you could eventually add other divine shrines, too, but no pressure
