Regarding lofts

[XiXiQ]

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.
