I have searched all through my inventory and the langourwine knife is definitely not showing even straight after I was given it I couldn't find it. Thankfully, there are ways to increase your carry weight with cheats (console commands). A larger carry weight means your character can carry more items. Otherwise, you will become over-encumbered and will not be able to move. The total weight of all the items in your inventory must always be less than your maximum encumbrance. Maximum encumbrance is a derived attribute that determines how much weight you can carry. It sounds like it might be the over full inventory problem so I'll have to either store loads of things in a house or sell them etc, to see if it brings back the missing things, but if quest related items don't reappear I can't carry on with the quests which is frustrating. Carry weight is a crucial metric in Skyrim that dictates how much weight your character can carry. Encumbrance is the load you are carrying. I haven't broken out of jail, if I ever stole something - by accident usually! - I pay the fine etc and the guards are leaving me alone. I just remembered a glitch with containers doing something similar ( if the player is technically a container) Items will seem to vanish from the container only to reappear when a significant number of other items are removed. Any mods? A mod that removes the quest item flag means you could have easily sold it or dropped it someplace. You'll have to go to jail and serve time.Ģ. Have you broken out of jail? Quest items will not be in the evidence chest. The only effects I've noticed is serious lag when opening a large inventory (hundreds of items with an encumbrance of 3,000+).ġ.

Note that if you are using mods which raise your maximum encumbrance the same glitch may also happen to your inventory. Armor repaired to 125 can quickly fill up a container. Storing items that you will not be using at equal to or less than 100% health will reduce the likelihood of items disappearing. Often, if you add another item to the container, a previous missing one will appear, but instead the new item disappears. This causes the most recently added items to not be listed in the container's inventory. It looks like that number sometimes becomes less than the actual number of items stored. This glitch seems to be caused by an error in the recorded number of items stored in the container. Saving the game while in the same zone as the container then reloading the save will often make all the missing items reappear leaving the room, or looking in other containers after reloading, will break the container again. Also, if you 'Take All' items the missing items will still be added to your inventory. This is merely a display bug, however: if you start removing other items from the container the missing item(s) will reappear.

Sometimes items appear to disappear from containers if you have already put a lot of items into that container.
