Okay so, it seems impossible to change the facing of Wooden Steps without glitching.
I bring them out into a house. They face the wrong way from what I need. There seems literally no way to rotate them to simply face the opposite direction.
Anyone know how to do this without having to glitch them onto something and rotate it instead? Seems beyond crazy this is an issue when it shouldn't be.

Unless we get a method to mirror furniture at some point or they add a second set that goes in the opposing direction, you're out of luck on this. You'll either have to make a partition part of the design or glitch the stairs to go in the opposite direction.

Just seems like a huge oversight in the design. You can rotate so many other pieces. Yet for whatever reason this one you can't. It makes really no sense at all.

I agree it feels like a stupid error.
I hope they at least add stairs going the other way. It feels so overdo I wanna submit them into the next furniture design contest... -

I'm not sure. But you can technically rotate them all via a glitch.
Which begs the question, why SE hasn't fixed a way to do it legitimately? -

The anchor point is static so you have to attach them to a Stage Panel or something else then move them into the position you want.
I actually find it to be an advantage because the steps are wider than I want sometimes. With the anchor point being away from the wall, I can "push" them into the wall so they're the width I want without them snapping back to the wall after I remove the Stage Panel. I can't do that when the anchor is wall side. -

The entire house decoration ways is a huge flaw in design, fortunately with the wooden steps it is just minor, but still... SE need to make or give us the tools to place anything we want in a 3D sense without having to glitch up or down.
and nope, it does not take much skill if any to glitch things up and down, but it is a very irritating proces to do. -
06-13-2021, 11:24 PMBladehawkI'm reluctant to ask them to fix things in that way. While i agree it would be nice and make things easier i cant help but think they will end up limiting our creativity in some manner to the point we wish they had not touched it at all.Quote:

It would be nice to see it happen here as well so we can push our creativity even farther. -
06-14-2021, 06:26 PMArohkThe engine is actually capable of doing this, there is just an arbitrary restriction programmed into it, like the "blocking" to place items close to walls which is a big problem with carpets for example.Quote:

I can't figure why stairs need to be a wall-mounted item. They should just make everything tabletop anyway :)
-
06-14-2021, 10:03 PMArohkThey are wall mounted because that makes it easy to put them on hights, if it were a tabletop item you couldnt float it without glitching and need to put another item below it.Quote:

In the end though, it's unnecessarilly complicated and restrictive for no good reason. Most of the "furniture" should be changed to tabletop, particularly since they introduced stages and lofts as tables.

I still think EQ2 did housing better in many ways. Furniture can be up) downscaled in size. Rotated. Z axis movement to sink/float. I made aquariums and fountains, waterfalls and grand fireplaces. Others make fun houses and spooky hedge mazes. One guy made an amusement park.
It's all instanced. They sell floating islands and beaches and stuff. You want to make it, you can build it.
Here? Need to glitch stuff to get lofts working. T.T -
06-15-2021, 10:07 AMBladehawkThats exactly the type of thing id worry about them "fixing" while they also give us the fixes we asked for.Quote:

If other games (including other cross platform games) are able to provide these functions to their players without problem, then it is highly unlikely there would be problems if they were added here.
