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

Great... thanks for fixing such a fabulous glitch in the most ass backwards way SE. Now I'll never be able to snug my partitions up against my walls again. I'm so annoyed with this entire patch.

+1 for them un-fixing the float glitch.

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.

Please share your resources. It's worth noting that SE didn't seem to have a problem with the loft glitch, but rather, with people using it to create elaborate jump puzzles outside of the house's area that apparently bypassed the furnishing limit for the house. They haven't fixed any of the other housing glitches.

EDIT:

So I'm unsure if this was the same thing Chevronone was using, but it seems I have been able to get lofts back.



What I did was stand close to the wall and angle myself away, and click the troupe stage in my Storeroom so that it came out diagonally. Then I dragged it up to the top ledge of the window, standing right next to the window and angling my camera up so I could see where the placement marker was. Then I pressed my subcommand twice. I was able to rotate it and upon leaving and re-entering, it stayed. The marker HAS to look like it's on top of the frame. You might need to try a few times.

This was how it looked when I got it in the right spot.



It remains to be seen if it can go in ALL the places it did before. So far I've gotten it to work with Merchant, Mist, and Glade window tops. It appears that the diagonal placing is a requirement, and if you're having trouble, try making it so that you're working with it at a more severe diagonal.

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'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!
