This sounds really interesting, and a Hunterborn patch already, outstanding! Perhaps I can finally pick up and find a use for those deer skulls I trip over &/or impale myself on when running through dark caves and animal dens? I'll go pick up my copy straight away.

More Interactive Items was once in STEP; however, it caused too many issues with havok so it was dropped.

What issues? I don't see how...

I don't remember all the detail since it was so long ago. I do remember is was pretty much a unanimous vote for dropping it because it was just ridiculous and seen as a rather pointless mod. I do remember part of the issue was objects from rooms would end up in the middle of floors for no apparent reason, bumping into some objects would send them flying around the room, simply walking into some rooms would knock things off tables and objects on some tables with people sitting at the table would constantly bounce. I also remember it being described as the "poltergeist" mod. The community wanted it removed from STEP as much as some STEP team members.

You run into an object that before was a static... now it can move hence you could kill yourself running into all sorts of small objects and what else happens when havok goes nuts. Gets even worse when you have multiple objects that collide into each other etc. 

 

Also the fact that you would end up picking up EVERYTHING.. my favorite was every time I wanted a lettuce head.. I ended up almost always getting the cart instead... Weird issues about how it can even fit in my pocket aside.. then it was just annoying to the point where I had to remove the mod. 

 

I get that it is a nice touch for immersion, but from a gameplay standpoint I can understand why all those small completely irrelevant objects are not setup like this to begin with! :) 

 

All that said then nice to see that you wanted to bring the mod back from the dead, and hopefully you can do something with it that will make it better!

I didn't mean any disrespect by my comments, just to be clear. I simply wanted to point out some of the issues with More Interactive Items. Whether this issues exist or not in your mod, I don't know. But it's worth being aware of them.

I just wanted to know if there were any issues I could fix!

This sounds like the mod was voted out because everyone forgot to turn on vertical sync. iPresentInterval must be set to 1; otherwise, Skyrim's physics and other parts of the engine go haywire.

Someone in the comments on Interactive Clutter wrote: 

I'm not sure how I feel about being able to pick up a huge object like a hand cart and shove it in my pocket. Then again, I can carry a giant sword, 15 daggers, 6 great axes, a couple suits of armor, hoards of soul gems, potions, firewood and ingredients not including dragon bones and scales... And somehow store it on my person. So this seems perfectly reasonable too.

TBH, I wish someone would make a Santa's Bag mod, where you're carrying a bag over your shoulder and the bag grows as you reach your carry weight limit. Edited August 13, 2014 by fireundubh

I think vsync was used back then; however, I'm not positive. It could have been left up to the user. Currently the STEP Guide instructs users to disable it in the INI in favor of setting it in ENBoost. I have to be careful with vsync and framerate limiters due to having an IPS panel. The panel doesn't enjoy being forced by some of these solutions to do one thing or another.

That's a problem with the STEP Guide then. Skyrim's built-in vsync MUST be enabled. The game absolutely relies on it being enabled.If you disable it, bad things happen, even if you use ENBoost or "force" vsync on with the NVIDIA Control Panel.

We've not had an issues within the last two releases that it's been disabled. What exactly relies on it being enabled in the engine?

[DoubleYou]

Interesting... Can't say that I've ever had a worse fps with ipresentinterval=1. Maybe that could be the issue with that cart thing floating about somebody mentioned.

It's more that Skyrim, specifically the physics engine and day/night cycle, was designed to work correctly at or under 60 fps. You could probably limit your fps another way.

The FPS is still capped to 60FPS in the STEP solution which doesn't have the vanilla vsync enabled. This is done through ENBoost for best performance in the realm of smoothness during gameplay. At least, that's the low-down of it. There was a great deal of testing done before this solution as implemented. Thus far, no ill effects have been reported. I'd be interested if your mod still worked the same with this solution over the vanilla vsync.

I want that bag.
