I was able to successfully get under my stairs in my medium Mist house, but I've seen to run into another issue. Am I not able to clip partitions through the weird stacked box looking side of the stairs?

I remember using a riviera wall shelf and the encyclopedia in an old jump puzzle but that was sketchy collision at best. -
10-29-2017, 06:08 AMJeykamaThere is always going to be hard limits on how far you can clip, like pillars or existing walls - you'd have to be able to get the camera inside of those to bypass that (good luck).Quote:

Feel free to use any information you want from these as long as you credit! Now that Shirogane is finally out, we're planning to put together a winter article exploring some of the new features you pointed out here, along with a bunch of other ones we've discovered that still seem to be relatively unknown. We'll be sure to credit this thread in return as well!

10-29-2017, 09:19 AMDancetwistIt's been pretty difficult to find collidable tabletops or wall-mounted items in the past, but Stormblood added a ton of new ones to look at! I took a quick screenshot of some of the collidable objects we found as good options for our latest Shirogane decorating project:Quote:

So, I just encountered the weirdest glitch while using the trick to snap windows to partitions.
The two imitation oblong windows I was using snapped to the partition normally, but when moving the partition into place, they both disappeared. When I noticed it, I immediately snapped the partition to the floor where I was but they didn't reappear. I closed the furniture interaction interface and one of them reappeared, still stuck in place on the partition. Went back to check the wall it had been on before and still nothing. After freaking out for a few seconds, I opened my furniture interface again and checked the list of placed items and, sure enough, the window was still listed. When I tried to target it I got the 'that item is out of your line of sight' error message. So I tried to right-click to store it and got a new error- 'that item is beyond your field of vision.' So I wandered through my house, clicking on the store button, hoping that I'd eventually find the sweet spot where I could interact with it. I got all the way down to my basement and clicked on it and it finally let me target it. I looked around and didn't see it until I finally looked up and there it was, sticking half way out of the ceiling, right under where I put the partition down.
I probably should have screenshot it, but at that moment I was so relieved I just dropped it immediately into my storage. I know we are taking advantage of a glitch to do this cool stuff in our houses and I am willing to live with any bad consequences that stem from it, but I just wanted to warn people of what happened to me and hopefully help them to fix it if they encounter the same problem.
Happy decorating! -
10-30-2017, 03:41 AMDustytomeI ran into that error a couple times myself. Still wishing they'd just let us place things where we want without the glitching stuff. I spent two hours just figuring out how to place windows in the correct spot (and then someone accidentally sent one to storage). They don't quite line up how I'd like but I get tired of just barely moving the mouse, checking the alignment from the other side, unsnapping multiple objects that latched on to the partition and adjusting all over again. I want to be able to place it where I want it, adjust the numbers directly as needed and move on to do something else.Quote:

11-04-2017, 02:55 PMJeykamaI've been messing around refining it and should have it added to the post pretty soon. Thanks for bringing it up!Quote:
