I am trying to spawn a chest that contains certain objects but whenever I open the chest nothing happens, it just sits there open and I can't move Sad

It was working fine before but now it isn't... I might just have the object names wrong for:
The BlueTooth Arquebus
The PUKE Expression
Gravity Hammer
Skull Basher
Beer Tankard
Potions

I am a BANANA!

At least you have an idea of what's wrong. That is a sign of wrong object names.

When receiving items from a chest it will skip anything it doesn't recognize.

Example:
ContainerContents[0] "OBJECT_EXISTS";
ContainerContents[1] "OBJECT_DOESNT_EXIST";
ContainerContents[2] "OBJECT_EXISTS";
This would skip the second item.

Now the game expects that at least one item is coming out of the chest, so if you have:
ContainerContents[0] "OBJECT_DOESNT_EXIST";
ContainerContents[1] "OBJECT_DOESNT_EXIST";
ContainerContents[2] "OBJECT_DOESNT_EXIST";
It will just sit there waiting for an existing item to pop out, which never happens, effectively throwing the game in a holding pattern that you can't get out of.

What you can do is open FE and scroll down to objects and find the new items (any that are higher than 14760). Whatever is next to the number is what goes in the chest, for example, you should find
147## - OBJECT_EXPRESSION_PUKE_DUMMY.

Here's the problem, my object list isn't showing certain fmps

some objects that have been added by an FMP I can find by searching but can't find when I actually look in the OBJECT place

EDIT: Nevermind, I just forgot to save them, lol

some items I can't get out of a chest, what do I do now?

If the object in the list doesn't match the item in FE, or if FE doesn't have the object at all, it will be skipped.

So if the object in FE is called OBJECT_TOFU and the object in the ContainerContents list is OBJECTTOFU it's skipped.
Or, scenario #2, you forgot to recompile/Save mods and Run Fable (I've seen stranger things happen) so OBJECT_HEY_LOOK_NEW_ITEM isn't recognized because it's not in the game.bin and is skipped.

They are in the game.bin and as far as I know I used the correct object names. some of them weapons I get from the chest but don't end up being in my inventory and I don't know but can the puke expression be spawned in a chest? or not? do I have to literally pick it up from the ground?

You can pick it up from the ground, but most people ironically find chest spawning easier. One thing comes to mind though, do you have every single item in the game? There are set limits that can't be exceeded in unmodified gameplay. This changes the limits so that you can have everything and then some.
