Handy console commands :
These commands can help you tidy your room, but basically they are not a fix for this mod.
1.[recycleactor] : Put item, such as cups, back to original position.
Open console, left click on your target, type [recycleactor], enter.
2.[disable] or [markfordelete] : Eliminate things you don’t want.
Open console, left click on your target, type [disable] or [markfordelete], enter.
=====KNOWN ISSUES
NPCs lost their way at home.
NPCs may stuck from time to time. Seems after couple days in game the situation would be better, but I’m not sure how much they will recover. Making sure your latest save is clean before install this mod, or deleting dirty saves would really help, in my game, I did this and it’s working.
=====INCOMPATIBILITIE
This mod is incompatible with any mod(includes lighting and sound mods) which ALTERS VH directly.
Q: How to edit other mods staying clear from VH interior, so I can use them with this mod side by side?
A: You can use TES5Edit too achieve this easily. Load the esp file you want to edit in TES5Edit, find MarkarthVlindrelHall in Cell/Block0/Sub-Block9 , right click on MarkarthVlindrelHall and hit “Remove”, done. This will make that mod do nothing to VH, but retain the modification of that mod in other locations.
