Things that shouldn't float! (A new float glitch?)

[SokiYagami]

My attempts on partition have completely failed thus far. I keep hoping some finds a sweet spot, but it's looking like this is completely reliant on the default structure of the house.

From experience it appears to be the zone of placeable/non-placeable intersection of the windows/perimeter partition ledge (the part where wall-mount items can't be place). I tried to replicate it on partition with wall shelve but fail to get it to work. Gonna do more testing to see if it's possible to get more control over the vertical axis placement.

I played around with this glitch today and made new breakthroughs in it after figuring out how the glitch itself actually works. It has nothing to do with placing items against a wall. By placing the cursor on any surface area (which all walls have a small surface area protruding) you can place any floor items on that surface. This also works for any surface area that you shouldn't be able to place floor furnishings on including the hand railing balisters, the stairs, the small landing on stairs you normally would have to glitch furnishings onto. Just as well you do not actually need a wall furnishing to perform the glitch (except to get it on that tiny part of the protruding part of the wall) and can just place the items directly onto these surfaces using the place subcommand after deciding where you want it placed.




Another slight effect of this is that certain table furnishings that have surfaces you are not allowed to put furnishings on, such as the top of a Ash Cabinet, you can use the place subcommand to put tabletop furnishings on those surfaces. Sadly you still cannot put floor furnishings on placeable tables in this fashion.

It also seems you can use the glitch to place wall hangings on areas that normally you are not allowed like the side of the staircase.



Or as an alternative way to place windows on partitions. Just make sure you're facing it straight so it is applied straight.


For those still having troubles with getting a stage to clip into the wall toggle the snap grid off and move the wall hanging until the arrows around the cursor reflect a surface area instead of the wall and you will be able to place the stage.

Nice experimental findings! An important implication to point out here is that this means Rugs can also be floated if you use the "Display All" tab for placement, where the original trick found by JP players didn't allow us do that.

We'll definitely put this to good use!

The same thing could be said of any of the housing glitches. Why would you want something randomly floating in the middle of the room? Why would you want to clip a bed under the stairs?

The examples shown in the video are just to show how this trick is done. It's up to individual players to use their decorating skills to make it look good.

Just a few quick ideas from looking at the video: You could use a stage to create a loft area, like people have been doing with the floating pillows.
Or you could clip a chair into the wall and stack stuff in front of it to make a fancy throne. The ugly, clipped chair would be covered, but you would still be able to use it to /sit on the other items.

Its really useful for forcing partitions against the wall without losing a few inches because of pillars or using half partitions to create molding for rooms.

You have to get creative and find ways of using it properly like you said.

It is high time se redseigns their UI for housing to allow us to place anything we choose.....anywhere withOUT needing to use a glitch.

Upgrade se please, you guys are thinking a decade behind most other games (again)!!!

Allow players 100% freedom to build, design, resize, place, as WE see fit. Remove all these ridiculous limitations, it feels so ancient and short sighted.
