(Req) Oblivion style clutter grabbing

[Johnykage555]

When i played oblivion i've spent countless hours simply gathering good looking clutter items to decorate my house with, and using the grab key made it so much fun.

 

But in skyrim i noticed that whenever you grab a clutter item, let's say a bottle and aim at the bottle neck, the item would then be grabbed by the bottom tipping it downwards making decorating your house a pain in the arse.

 

Is it possible to have the oblivion styled aim-and-grab back for skyrim?

I think that would have to do with the collision of the object your grabbing. So it would be a huge undertaking doing somthing like that. so to answer the question, i dont think their is a mod that does that. "yet" i

 

ps- i also go crazy tryin to rearrange things in my houses as well. so your not alone.

Best would be an implementation of morrowind's object placement system. That worked brilliantly, even worth the tradeoff of not being able to rotate objects in the Z plane (vertically).

I also like to place random items I find in-world that I think might be unique or just cool to have on tables and shelves in my homes, and I feel your frustration. The problem is that nearly every prop has its orientation axis in a retarded spot. This is why you pick up a bottle or a book and it flips upside down. It is terribly frustrating.

 

I don't know if it would be possible, but the guy who is doing the SMIM (Static Mesh Improvement Mod) should try redoing the axes for all of the static props he redoes, since he is redoing their meshes anyway... what's the harm in one extra step?

 

Truthfully, though, I don't know if this is possible or if it would cause problems in the game.
