and why do some items have different item ID numbers when they look identical?

Todays Epic free game is Severed Steel and there's also a free art book for the game listed on the store page, don't know if the art book is any good but I thought I'd mention it 

Wrong topic?

And tomorrow's apparently looks like Mortal Shell.

I am now trying to un-update Witcher 3.

I'm still trying to find and identify furniture codes. Seems everyone who's interested in console cheats just care about the riches you can get by placing gold and jewels directly in your inventory and nobody really cares for the furniture items. Except that one person I linked to the other day.

And how they found their codes for some items, I don't have a clue. "Candle" for instance only helps you find 5 different versions of candlesticks, none of them actually containing candles. "Lantern" gets you an empty lantern but not a lit one. "Shelf" got me some of the bookshelves, but they all seem to have 2-5 instances of each model. So you have to sort through an awful lot of ID numbers without much to show for it. One item was called shelf with display case but there was no display case...

Edit: Oh and there were two container items named shelf, one looking like a shelf and the other invisible. The shelf one didn't appear as a non-container among the shelves, and I know there is at least one more similar model and that one didn't appear either.  

Creation kit doesn't have a full list or search function for id codes. You can only see the codes in the cell window if they're already in the scene.
I did find  this link  that supposedly has a spreadsheet of them all but I can't open it so who knows what's really in that download.
Only try it at your own risk.   

Here's another one  on Nexusmods which may be safer seeing as I've heard of that site.

Edit: And at the current rate of progress Witcher 3 is gonna take at least three times longer to fix than it was to break.

I think I saw that file previously.... But it's from 2011 so I figured there's probably lots of content missing...

Meanwhile I have started furnishing my armoury. And as usual, finding pics of where things go to decide if I want them, is difficult. I placed the mannequins (and I guess I'll have to figure out Vertex so I can get the female mannequin mod ) but I'm not so sure about other things. Two of the mannequins have lanterns next to them, which means light sources - and I learned today that light sources are separate from the items, so if I opt to remove the lanterns I'll have light sources from nowhere (they can't be removed).
And display cases - are you supposed to just drop things into them and hope they land nicely? They don't seem to have a function for adding stuff... And I want to know where exactly the archery targets will end up.
