Hey. I made some mistakes taking some brick off my yard.. Now id like to get them back, but i can seem to be able to place as well as they originally were.

Is there any way to revert the house to its original state? If not should there be a way to save configurations?

    No, sorry. There's no way to revert. Saving configurations would be great for moving things like books stacks and fruit bowls.

    For placing, have you tried...
    • Turning off "Lock to Surface"
    • Using the Cursor Mode to add precision to your tilting
    • Binding a "Toggle walk" so you can move more slowly.
    • Placing furniture in First Person mode

    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."

    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."

    Thanks for suggestions, i am using these methods but with brick, that are mostly underground, its somewhat hard to make them all placed equally..

    I think that grid of sorts would help placing stuff like this to get some clear reference for measuring distances.

    One other thing would be to have day/night toggle when in editor mode.

    I have to check that addon for future mishaps.

    There needs to be a "chain together" kind of system where you could click three pieces side by side and have the odd man out line up with the other two.

    With bricks when its mostly underground to make it look like a small stone slate - thats awful to try and make happen for me.

    Sell me a friggin thin stone tile i can lock to the ground.

    I have done some modding for single player games and every time I have messed with ground features I have regretted it.

    I know there is a way to push things past the ground plane, but its a real bear lining things up with something that is uneven to begin with and needs to be partially "buried". There might be a way to align the items together, but the tools we get are limited.

    Don't even get me started on changing the ground planes. I move it a little over here, and get a big tear over there.

    Even if I get all looking OK in the editor, load it into the game and I just want to scream.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I was trying to place a light, and of course I got it all jacked up trying align it. I found if I just Put it Away and then brought it out, it was like it was in the beginning. Not going to help too much with your tiles, but at least if you try to align and it gets all weird, you can revert
