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

[PrincessAlice]

I can 100% confirm that troupe stages and a majority of nontable items such as partition, mounted bookcases (the entire wall types), etc. can still be placed in the positions to create lofts prior to 4.2. It takes a large bit of creativity. I will not post here how it is done as to preserve this method as long as possible.

You realize the only reason the old method was fixed was because everyone was abusing placing things in the negative space outside the house zone, right? There's no reason to hide this method anymore as you're unable to put anything in the negative zone now and it will just bounce back into the house.

As for Elamys's method, I managed to reproduce it and made a video demonstrating how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjvRNS_ODd4 Be sure to read the video description.

I haven't tested it after 4.2, but basically you have to take an item (any item) and place it on a flat surface like window top, stair pillar, etc, and use the quick swap method.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to hide this method to make their house special. If that's the reason you are doing it, then your creations aren't that impressive and only hinge on a trick and not actual creativity and design.

Could you elaborate on this quick swap method please?

I wish I could get this to work but it's soooo finicky. Tried it with the Royal Plotting Table and no dice.

SE, for the love of all that's decorating... bring our old quick swap method back!

Or y'know just give us the ability to place things on the x, y, z + angles since all that info is obviously already stored.

Agreed.

Let me place candles and wine buckets on the edge of my hot tub. Or set up a stage and place musical instruments on it.

While we're at it, allow us more than two indirect lighting pieces per house. I'd like to be able to set up a photo booth with multiple light sources, or a stage with multiple floor and wall mounted stage lights.

Yes, or this. I'm just not holding my breath SE will let us be that creative without glitching.

Popped a couple housing questions into the live letter question thread HERE. Going to need some upvotes if we want to at least get their attention.

A tip for people struggling with lofts... change your exterior to something with better windows. Place your stuff. Then change exterior back. They aren't destroyed anymore, and there's a ton of them that are dirt cheap on MB, so you can try out a few and find out what works best for you.

I also used this method for placing a bench on the porch of our Carbuncle mansion (I am unsure if the old glitch still works, but this is an easy alternative). Change to an exterior with a small porch, place the item, change exterior back, and it will snap to the floor of the larger porch. (If you're super picky about placement like I am, it helps to have a friend previewing the exterior so they can tell you exactly where to move the item.)

Hope this is helpful!
