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

[jameseoakes]

With the release of Shirogane housing and apartments I’m sure amidst the salt people are still busy decorating!
Here’s some tricky tips we’ve gathered over the years abusing the tools given to place stuff in places not intended.

I don't take credit for discovering any of these glitches but everyone with a house/apartment should know about them.

Also, throw me a line if I'm missing anything specific!

You my friend are a saint

"Using Storage glitch to float basically anything, even non-attaching Furniture"

So I've been trying to recreate a room I stumbled upon, and it looks like they were able to float a partition to place above the fish tank. I can't get this to work for the life of me. Here is the picture in question:



I tried using the tips shown in this section,

Using Storage glitch to float basically anything, even non-attaching Furniture



Thanks to a discovery by Twitter user @noisy_loud and some translation work on the subreddit, we can now float pretty much everything!
This glitch works by replacing an object mid-placement in one Storeroom category with one in the same slot in the general Storeroom list.
The main limitations of this glitch is that it can only be used to place objects on horizontal permanent house fixtures, i.e. wall trim, above windows, railings, fencing.

The range of applicable surfaces varies based on your house's architecture/windows/doors so not all options may be available!
i.e. it's impossible to do this glitch on Chocobo house doors/windows, but quite easy with Shirogane Castle doors/windows.
The variations on the house railing bars and deco also offers different surfaces.



First, you need to organize your Storeroom lists. (this is a tribulation for homes that relocated)
The glitch works by "placing" one object in a sublist with an object in the same slot in the Display All list.
In this example I will use an object in slot 5 Wall-mounted's Galleass Wheel to float the slot 5 Display All's Masonwork Stove.
The specific sublist object you use doesn't matter, but Wall-mounted items demonstrate the process best.

Next, you need to keybind System tab > Display Subcommand to something convenient.

Left-click the temp object to bring it out of storage (make sure Movement is active). You can toggle between the Storeroom lists to verify the object you want to actually place.



Here are some examples of surfaces that work, like the lower trim of walls and occasionally horizontal surfaces of windows and doors.
It's easy to see on Wall-mounted objects because the crosshair goes horizontal.

Partitions and other furnishings do NOT qualify as surfaces, only permanent house fixtures.



Without clicking, hit your Subcommand menu keybind, which will bring up this submenu near the furniture. Hit the Subcommand keybind again to Place.



And voila! If you did it right, for no reason whatsoever the Masonwork Stove gets placed where the Wheel was.
(The temp object is returned to Storeroom no harm done)
You can freely rotate the object in this state as long as it's not a Wall-mounted type.



As mentioned earlier, most any permanent horizontal surface works, even stairs and tops of fencing!
Heck even the "Mt. Fuji" designs on the railings work, as does that open wall on the top floors of mansions.

The nature of this glitch means that unfortunately rugs can't be floated as they are always last on the Display All list.

, and while I could get the partition to snap to the trim of the room, I can't get it to snap to anything else that is near the fish tank.

Any advice to get that working? If that's not the partition they're floating, any ideas what that could be?

It's likely either the back of some maps or some mounted box shelves. Those are the most popular items to use for that sort of thing. If you look closely you can see the lines where they're squished together.

Looking at it up close, it looks like the brown base of the partition / white plaster, although I could be wrong. At this point I think I will just have to settle for something else, although the partitions would have been waaay cheaper. lol

The white plaster above might just be the bottom portion of the wall planter that's angled. Lighting/picture filters probably adjusting how it looks to make it appear white. That I know of, there's no way to float a partition going up like that without it adhering to the wall (which wouldn't leave enough space underneath for that big an alcove). If someone did find a way to float floor bound items anywhere vs the current trick that's finicky and only works on the default portions of the house, I would love to know how!

It's hard sometimes to guess what people use from smaller images.
Your "partition" is just some Eorzean maps turned backwards for the brown bits, and the white bits that look like plaster are definitely the undersides of the planters, as they are greyish with a plaster texture. The colors are just blasted out because of gpose or whatever color processing they use.

So just create a row of Eorzea Maps and float them backwards, then create a row of planters and float them flush to those maps, ezpz. As long as none of it is too close to an actual wall it should work without much hassle.
