Furnishing duplication

I was thinking about replacing the fireplace in one of my houses. The new fireplace wasn't good for me, so I spammed the option to revert.

But here's the thing. I don't know if I accidentally placed/overlaid two Solitude fireplaces at the time, or if something duplicated it. :/

    I thought I had done the same but with a different furnishing. I thought I had inadvertantly duped it. I experimented with a few different furnishings with mixed results to have data to report. It drove me a bit crazy at first until I figured it out.

    Turns out that whenever I undid a placement/removal, it pulled an identical item from my Vault instead of from the bank/inventory slot of which the original had been placed. So it only appeared to be generating duplicates it actually wasn't.

    I've had the same thing happen, reported it twice with details of which furnishings, and never heard back, not even a confirmation that they'd received the report. When I've reported other things I've alway heard back.
    It's happend a few more times since, usually doing daily endeavours fast. I don't even bother reporting it now, even though it's extremely exploitative, as it seems they just don't care.

    For at least some of the furnishings I know it definitely didn't pull them from the vault, as I only had one of them before the duplication glitch.

    Wait, are you saying that I could accidentally duplicate the Void-Crystal Anomaly furnishing if I'm not careful? Oh, the horror, as I've already got more than enough of it, and keep finding the lead for it again and again whether I want to or not! ;D

    I tested a lot of furnishings and I don't think any from antiquities or crown store ones had the issue, but newer ones seemed more likely maybe..

    Maybe it isn't taking the furnishing from your inventory when you replace it, because it is taking one from where you normally store it, such as the Vault or the Bank.

    Ok I just tried this.

    First I put some of each of the item in my vault my bank and my inventory.

    I placed the item from my inventory into my house and hit undo, then redo, each time the item went back into my inventory but was replaced in the house by an item from my vault.

    I could not get any duplication to happen, didn't try putting any in my storage chests but presume it would be similar.

    I just tested this out and this is what I discovered.

    I had 2 Colovian Sconces in my Vault. I placed one in my house and used the retrieve tab to remove it with the option to remove it to my inventory. I then used Z to place it back and still had one in my inventory but the second was no longer in the Vault because it took the one from there to replace the one I had retrieved.

    Try testing yours this way to verify if this is what is happening. Note how many of a specific furnishing you have wherever you store your furnishings. Place one in your house then retrieve it to your inventory. Now use Z to put it back. You should have 1 in your inventory but 1 less now in your storage.

    I've also tried with single items, ie the only one on my account

    To make sure it was the only one I mailed any others to a separate account.

    I have tried the following now....

    Witches Totem, Wooden Rack
    Bear Skeleton, Picked Clean
    Firelogs, Flaming
    Candle, Group
    Alinor Sconce, Candles

    None of them produced duplicates, only thing I can think of is some kind of addon glitch, the only Housing addon I use is EHT.

    I suspect that the game just pulls furnishings from storage by default rather than from the player's bag. I seriously doubt anything is being duplicated.

    Having an item remain in our bag when we use Z to place it again doesn't mean anything unless the number of the same furnishing in our storage remains the same and hasn't decreased by one.

    It can take furnishings from your housing chests, too.

    When I tried with the single items I used Inventory Insight to make sure I located every version of that item I had and removed them from the account I was using.

    I have that addon set up to show everything I have, so I was certain there were none in my storage chests too.. it is easy to miss items in chests.

    It helps if all the furnishings can be stored in the same place. Then it's easy to keep track of how many we have.

    Choose one furnishing and take all that you have in the Bank, the Vault, the housing Chests and your bag and put them all in one of the storage containers. Take note of how many you have.
    Place one of the items in a house.
    Retrieve it to your inventory then use Z to place it again.
    Add how many you now have in storage to the one in your bag and it should be the same number you started with.
