Regarding lofts

[Elamys]

I'm not sure the code allows them to make tables like floor surfaces, considering floors are part of the remodel system instead of the item placement system. I hope they can, but haven't seen it yet with any of the other items (stages and the like are still tables).

They're going to have to add a whole new classification for items that would enable them to function both as normal furnishings and as floors, since there are no furnishings in game right now with this behavior outside of glitching. I assume you would tag it as "Platform" or somesuch.

They've managed to do something similar with the Wooden Beams (wall-mounted items that act as walls) so there's hope they can do it with other furnishings.

There is a Pumpkin Pastry Platter that is a tabletop food and a table itself.

More like "something something programming restrictions". They seem to have coded everything into strict, inflexible, single categories that can't overlap, and seem unlikely to change it (if they even can).

With the introduction of lofts, it does seem likely that more things will be labelled "tabletop" for functionality, but it will seem very strange to a newcomer that so many large furniture pieces are labelled that way!

Also I think Mikki might be incorrect about not being able to place tabletop items on other tabletop items? The 'wooden showcase' is tabletop, but its shelves are functional.

Oh really? If that's the case then I see no reason why they shouldn't just code everything as tabletop..................It may be strange but if it works, it works!

I totally agree on this. I think that lofts, stages and bridges should be classified as platforms for placing items on. My retainer currently looks like a troll under a bridge because she can't stand on it.

Time to remove all these silly restrictions.

let us place anything we want...anywhere!! suspend mid air, bury something through the ceiling or floor/wall, stack any items we see fit. Rotate an item upside down if thats the look we are going for.

Remove all these restraints and shackles of "tabletop", "wall mounted", " indoor and outdoor" silliness .... ugh

We need freedom to decorate ANY way we choose!

I totally agree. I don't understand why you're not allowed to turn things upside down, mirror horizontally/vertically! I have a small house and glitched it with stages so I can put furniture on top ^^ but I have almost 200 items I and a am not allowed to use more except delet some of them SE should also remove the item restrictions.

I can't even get a tabletop item onto a loft platform. I have a PS4, the controller has no way to view the higher area, if you get up on the platform (or anything else to give you line-of-sight) to see you fall straight through, and no matter what I try the item just flaps around always purple, never placeable. I don't know of any shelf high enough to even try the floating glitch - even then, I'd never be able to see well enough to pull it off. Very frustrating.

I'm also on PS4. It seemed to me that if you activate editing mode while standing on the loft or stairs, there's a "move one item" limit before the game notices you're standing on an item that 'should' be non-solid and drops you onto the floor. Alternately you can stand under the loft and tilt the camera so it's overhead and above the loft and you can see where you're putting things.
