Securely replacing your house

I was able to replace my house with a new pre-built keep (went with the Lestat build) after tracking down a few rogue snow tiles that were hidden under a few tiles (wouldn't let me convert until I picked them up).

One thing that I can't figure out is how I went from 260ish available lockdowns to -96 after conversion (everything in the moving crate). I can't lockdown anything in my house (ie unpack the moving crate) with a negative number.

I paged a GM and they were also confused why that happened (they submitted a bug report). Anyone know why this is happening? I'm wondering if it's perhaps something to do with a jewelry box or something like that?

I've been trying to find my jewelry box to see if that's the issue but I can't locate it yet. Also can't find several other things that I'm hoping are just buried. I've opened up EC hoping the grid view will help. Is there a reason grid view has a bunch of empty squares in between items when using grid view in EC (not familiar with EC)?

That was precisely my concern... that converting a Legacy House to a same size custom one, could cause problems with the number of max available lockdowns decreasing significantly.

@ Mariah replied here https://forum.uo.com/discussion/comment/105389/#Comment_105389 that, at least if I understood her reply correctly, this should not happen.

Yet, what has happened to your lockdowns diminishing significantly, gets me puzzled...

@popps. A traditional keep with 60% storage increase has 4830 lockdowns

A new pre-built keep with 60% storage increase has 4830 lockdowns, exactly the same.

What @keven2002 discovered was, a jewelry box, when not locked down, does not show reduced lockdowns.

LOL  Then total number of storage will NOT change just because you pick a different design.  There are items that when placed/locked down in a house that do NOT take any storage on the house menu but will take storage if they are in the moving create.  I know this is beyond your comprehension but believe me it is true.  Lock down a jewelry box with items in it and check your storage before and after.  No need to reply with I still do not understand because we already know that.
