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

[SoranRigel]

Could you be more specific on what most is?

I've been glitching just fine. Though honestly, I find some guides to be misinformation after experimenting on my own. Like needing to start the half wall with a leaf rug, when you can start with a shelf and skip that step.

Placement of objects on partitions (windows, for example, but after today's launch of the game bug is valid with all objects - which requires restarting the client, but this does not guarantee its correction) does not work.

Raising non-tabletop furniture doesn't work by putting objects under it, therefore Wooden Loft cannot be used as a second floor.

And I wonder again and again: why use glitches just to put the furniture where I want?

I just furnished an apartment with the loft glitch. Maybe you're doing it wrong or I'm not understanding what you mean. And for that I apologize. But here's something I did last week. Is this not what you mean?

It is strange, difficult, long and simply not working.

I see. Well, my guess to it not working are people either exiting the menu too slow or their placement is off. I do agree we should just be able to do the things, but if I can do it, then I think anyone can. I also primarily play on PS4 so maybe its a PC thing? Because everything I glitch works without fail when done correctly.

A free placement mode would be really, really fun. And would help save hours of slow frustration when you misjudge just 1 pixel and get ultimate Z fighting on objects, then have to do it all over again.

Your version about PS4 is good, but I saw guides for the PC in which the authors had no problems with placement.
However, for me and all my friends playing on PC, this glitch doesn't work. I follow the guide thoroughly.

And I do not like adrenaline when I try to relax after work and create the design of my house.

I use PC with keyboard/mouse.

I just placed multiple windows on partitions this week when I redecorated my house.

I just floated multiple furnishing this week to loft levels. Most of them I floated using Stage Panel and Wooden Loft. A few items I had to start with the Riviera Open-Shelf Bookcase before I switched to the loft.

All the tricks still work just fine. I do have a low level alt on Spriggan that I could use to help you get your furnishings in place. Keep in mind that furnishings do have a minimum height they must be floated to and you do need to rotate the items, go outside your housing and go back in to make certain they will "stick" where you placed them.

As to why use glitches? Because SE hasn't programmed the system to work differently. They have made some small adjustments over time that has made doing some of these things easier but we don't know the limits of their code. Sometimes trying to change code to make something possible breaks other code that had been working correctly.

It is also bad that those players for whom glitches work do not understand (or don't want to understand) that, firstly, this is a bagging in fact, and secondly, there are those for whom glitches do not work.

The glitches do work equally for all players. The game doesn't single out anyone and say "I'm not going to let you glitch these housing items even though I let other players glitch them." Understanding what to do is the key.

With the new wards opened recently, several members of my FC were able to buy a house for the first time when houses opened up in the old wards as players relocated into the new wards. I've been walking them through the various glitch tricks and none of them are experiencing problems. The only thing that's been close to a problem for them is White Rectangular Partition because it has to be raised in tiny increments compared to most other items.

If a player doesn't want to understand how these tricks work, then they miss out unless they get a friend who does understand to do the decorating for them. We don't have other options for now, and there's no telling if we ever will.
