Why can't we place items on lofts?

As the title says, why can't we place items on lofts? Great that we can have lofts, but we can't put anything on them. What's the point?

Lofts are a bug, so they shouldn't really be there anyway. That said, you can put stuff in lofts using the wall glitch.

There are actual loft items now.

You can place tabletop items directly on them, however they do not count as flooring, so anything tied to the floor would require the use of glitches to get them up to the loft level. Perhaps someday we'll get more advanced placement options so placing things is less of a chore.

I still wait for the day when all items are tagged "tabletop". Until then there are ways to work around this limitation (floating, storage glitch, etc.). You can at least put tabletop items on the lofts - which is nice.

I think its just way too much code for lofts to be considered as a floor and can is something that isnt a primary concern currently. Maybe someday we will get a proper working lofts but until then yeah, glitches is your thing.

I'm seriously hoping for the same thing. And also increase the decoration cap.

They still have to overcome code issues.

I was surprised the new Macaroon Cushion is classified as Tabletop but acts like a chair. Perhaps it's not the most elegant of chairs for a loft but it's a start. Perhaps they'll be able to do it with more items normally classified as Furnishings in the future.

In the meantime, we still have the floating glitch to work with so we can give the appearance of furnishing being on the lofts. It's not that hard to do with a little practice and convenient that the Wooden Loft allows us to float multiple items at the same time as a group. Make use of the tools we do have while SE works on improving the system.

I'd be happy if they just tagged everything as table top. It was way too tedious to furnish the upstairs bedroom in my apartment >_< and I am terrified of touching anything for fear of things moving to the floor.

SE should be able to resolve the issue of being unable to place items on objects by creating a sub category of table top and applying it to objects and making it hidden so that the only categories the players see are the current ones.
