Regarding lofts

This glitch was patched out long ago as it was literally a problem with the game not placing what was selected in the UI.

I am unfamiliar with this method. I try placing beds straight from storage onto a loft, but they are unable to place. Would anyone be able to provide some light onto how this is done?

Thanks.

He meant to send you here instead.

(edit: Adding a link to a post I made that links the original glitch guide [done on controller] as well as the PC guide and the spreadsheet that shows how high things need to be to stay floating.)

The entire reason I was ecstatic for lofts is that I could never get the floating glitch to work for me. Which why I was super disappointed. I followed every guide I could find but couldn't get it to work.

Try the one recommended to Sin_Faye. That should help you get floor items floating.

The easiest fix would be to make everything a table-top item. I don't see the gain in the current restrictions.

I have a small house and wanted to make two attic rooms in the landing/hallway where the stairs are to the basement, where I can manage to wiggle two of the new lofts, but the glitch won't work for me; every time I exit the house and re-enter the bed I glitched up there appears on the floor once again :/ I agree that they should just simply change items around to be tabletop

Every item has to be on a certain height. It's all described in the spreadsheet, that I found here in the forum, when someone posted it. I think your bed was just not high enough?

Hmm the futon doesn't seem to be on the spreadsheet, but that could be it; didn't realize there were height requirements

The futon is a rug, so it must be under rugs not beds. Maybe that's it?

oooh, how strange lol I thought it would've been in the bed category XD
I'm thinking it must just be something about the hallway in the small house, I was trying to float it way higher than the required minimum shown x_X Tried three times but it ended up showing on the floor every time.

With the new items all designated as tabletop, I feel like they're definitely aware of the situation - the test will be the next time we get any large items (chairs, beds, etc) and whether or not they'll be tabletop or regular floor. If it's floor, then I think they have no interest fixing the issue.

Also, I hate how things are divided now. I don't think to look for large shelving items under tabletop when I'm sorting through my storage.

You have to rotate it once it's been placed, otherwise it drops to the floor. Once you've rotated it and locked it in place, you can rotate it back to how you want it. I've got a futon floated onto my lofts in order to make my bed fluffier.



I mean, it's great we have the glitch now to do this. Figuring out how to freely float floor items was probably housing's holy grail. But it's still a pain, and still rather limited. It took me hours of work to get this area done. I love it, but I shouldn't have to rely on glitches to do it! Lofts are not "unrealistic," they're a common part of architecture throughout history.

Also, they really fooled us with those preview images lol. Making the furnishings they showed on there big shelves that would have normally been a floor item.

My reaction was the same as the OP...
And I've watched a lot of videos and I can't make the stuff I want to float. I float simple table and such, but I can't float that damm "Far Eastern doll Display" for eg. And I can't rotate them once I floated, so they come back to floor when I leave the house.
So yes, just make ours lives easier by making all the stuff like table top so we can put the itens one above of each other ;_;
