Glitching vs. Natural design

[Ayan_Calvesse]

I'll glitch stuff to fit into place, but I more mean using a tool to build a house. Meh. Nothing skillfull or special about it. The challenge of making a house look good without the use of tools > a modern.

Sounds like console player envy.

I don't care what tools people use; I infrequently use glitching when it calls for it; but honestly the majority of glitching requires too many items to be worth it. Seeing Larges glitched down to 1 intricate room is both impressive and saddening; that said some folks are really creative with the glitching and really whether they do it through the ball bustering methods or shelves or other far easier to use methods - I don't consider myself so special for knowing how to hit the sweet spot *he heh innuendo*

Not quite. They usually look like copies of the next guys house and are kinda unimaginative.

Also the strip bar in the bakery shops are kinda confusing too..

What other kind of house would you even wanna live in? Jk...

I view super glitched arrangements like pictures in interior design magazines. Very expensive, kinda pretty, kinda impressive, but no one is meant to live there.

EDIT And by above I mean making Large into Apartment sized room looking like Howl's room from that Ghibli movie.



Placing plushies on beds/sofas is very fine, almost everything is very fine when done with moderation.
Visited one of the loveliest very lightly glitched house yesterday on Lich. I think it was w19p28.

I have 100% been saying this for years and completely agree with you. All of their houses look the same.

That being said, I still believe it's not our place to "yuck someone elses yum" when dealing with them. I would never share these thoughts to someone and I often still leave likes and find positive things to say when writing in their message book.

Just form a group of friends that are like-minded like you are and host housing events and DnD nights and the like with people who have the same values as you.

Ignore the peeps that don't share the same values as you and don't care what they think.

Ultimately, it just doesn't matter what other's houses look like, as long as my homes are in order for those I care about.

I use minimal glitching. I like to put plushies on my furniture, like my bed or the back of the couch where a stuffed fox sleeps.

The only glitching I do is placing furnishings from the storage so I can put them closer to walls or fences. It's so tedious. Placing furnishings is too restrictive in this game.

Couldn’t agree more!

At times the physics to wanting to place certain furniture it limits you to do so (ex: wanting to place certain or all wall hanging furniture on marble & other partitions) which personally drives me mad & I can understand why some resort to glitching therefore.

PS: Last week I’ve visited someone’s house & noticed they used at least 17 slots to only create a fridge & microwave, I was perplexed haha!

Anything that looks normal but cannot be done with the bad limitations. Lofts, stairs .etc. I like that people can visit and not instantly notice everything is glitched out even if it is.

I'm going to go against the general sentiment in this thread and say that I think glitches offer a whole new dimension of creativity to design by expanding what can be accomplished within the system. As it stands with "natural" design, we can't even place most furniture on lofts. Also, a glitched home does not need to be hyper condensed. There are some beautiful designs that still embrace a sizeable layout, just look at some if the designs out there.

Exactly this. I glitch a little, but overall, my medium house is still a medium house with plenty of space for people to actually come over and enjoy it. No floors are sealed off or anything. Basement, middle, and top floors are all furnished well enough for good aesthetics, but also with enough space that the house could hit the player cap and still fit everyone in just fine. I think that's something that I personally wished I saw others do too. I love the creativity that people can think of!! but!! These super small tiny builds in my experience, outside of taking one of two screenshots, are just completely useless. People cant fit in them, can't hang out in them, functionality is almost 0...and another thing I've noticed, is if these houses are so tightly compacted into just one or two tiny rooms with the full item slot usage taken up, it makes the inside of the house a bit laggy to be in, too. If people took a more functional approach to these types of builds more often, I personally think that would be a lot more interesting to see. None of this is to say that condensed styles are so terrible, but more like, just to say that the ones who combine both ideas are just very nice to see, and I think if they caught on a little more often, then glitching in itself wouldnt be looked at as harshly as it can be, at times.
