[GUIDE p4.1] Housing Glitches : Placing (almost) everything (almost) everywhere!

[Elamys]

You can do the loft glitch in any housing skin to my knowledge. But it is pretty much restricted to being above windows and doors only. You can't put it on the pillars.

Yeah, I read that but I still can't get it to work. The pilasters are really squished together in a cottage, which is why I thought maybe they were in the way (because the stage is wide than the space between the pilasters). I use a gaming controller, but I've tried using both controller and mouse to do it with no success.

Pillars have no bearing on whether or not you can place a loft, as they can intersect the loft normally. The upper floor of a cottage is the same size as an FC room or apartment, which I have placed lofts in both of those. It's just a really fiddly and tricky glitch.

It can be done in cottages (I've got 4 placed in my apartment, which has the same pilaster spacing) but some housing skins and interiors are harder to work with than others. I have a much harder time placing a loft in Lavender Beds than I do in Mist and I think the wainscot might be part of the problem. I feel like I can't get as close to the wall in Lavender Beds.

Patience is the key. When it doesn't place, just keep trying. Eventually you'll hit that sweet spot and it will snap into place.

I would highly recommend swapping your cottage's housing skin to one of the Merchant's etc walls, which tend to be very cheap on the MB. These are the easiest skins to place the loft on. Then, you can swap back to the skin you want to use without anything moving.

Pillars can't have items placed on them, but they tend to effect the Line of Sight you can get to the sweet spot on the window where an item can be placed. The Goblet and Lavender Beds have pillars that have larger hitboxes then the pillars in Mist and Shirogane and as a result people seem to have more trouble floating large items in those housing districts. That's not to say it can't be done, just that people spend a lot longer getting items floated in those housing districts.

Thanks, everyone. I have been trying for so looong, but I can't get it. XD Sobbing. If the merchant's house & my current skin are cheap on my server, I shall try that out as well. /thumbsup

It's a real pain to get the hang off, I had to keep trying and trying and trying until suddenly it just clicked into place in my brain. Now it's pretty easy to put them up, although still not 100% success rate .

Helps to be at 90 degrees to the wall you're placing it on and zoomed awkwardly far in, the stage basically has to be as far into the wall as you can get it. As you move about, adjust your camera, and slide the stage about you should notice it "sinking" into the wall (or "floating" back out again.)
It's hard to explain, you're basically getting the stage sunk as deep into the wall as you can, then sliding it about above the window you want it mounted on until it "jumps" out a bit, then edging it back up until it "drops" back into place.

I've heard that you can use baseboards to float stages, so you might be able to use this to float a piano. I'm not sure it it would work, but since the piano is not a tabletop item there really isn't any other way to do it that I am currently aware of.
