Glitching vs. Natural design

[Impia]

I just dislike glitching and hate most houses that used it too much, or used so many items for it they had to close up the basement or 1st floor lol

the only glitch ive ever used was placing my poor lala npc on the lala podest - they deserve justice!

That is a shame. Some of the most creative and unexpected ideas come from using such techniques, and item limit just unfortunately necessitates that compromise be made to accommodate their density. I would make my mansion's interior larger if I could, but doing so would cause it to lose it's identity because I'd have to compromise on its design.

Generally its because they want to do something complex; particularly with lighting; item limits get eaten up really fast. Its even worse if you want to have a hall or something for your FC's achievements due to the trophy eating item limit. The reality is that without glitching your often going to see the "same same" look to many designs as items otherwise look out of place in a build (as many use Hingan bookshelves to make edging) the result is often in larges your forced to use large items that can feel out of place; or worse your dealing with the native pillars or edge of stairs. Larges feel like they were designed with making "rooms" in mind; so they deliberately give you too much space for the item limit. I've seen larges that don't really partition and admittedly I am not a fan cause they look like someone just threw everything everywhere in a effort to fill up the space.

That said I feel making a large into 1 super complex room is equally offputting - not to mention the targetting you have to go through and potential sticky issues.

There's definitely not enough spaces atm. I wanted to add details to rooms, but quickly ended up at the limit.
The one thing I do love about people who glitch is the ability to get into the "void" outside the area. I remember someone's large I was in once that had a bed up there and a bunch of those flower rugs. It's a really surreal place lol.

It's also something that they've asked the player base not to do because it messes with the housing servers in some way.

It also wouldn't be necessary if they gave us better controls for housing, including lighting.

Fair.
The lighting atm is really irritating.

Extremely. That was another thing that RIFT Dimensions excelled at. They had light sources in a variety of sizes and color tones where the light emitting object would be invisible except in Build mode. I had set up a tunnel in one Dimension with lighting that started at the red end of the spectrum and finished at blue.

Honestly The lack of lighting options and the overpowering radius and annoying placement of the pre-determined lighting is the bane of my existence. As for technical issues I think that is more related to actual void-builds vs glitching within the box because the engine has issues drawing stuff outside of the predetermined area and what it does is it causes the record for item placement to glitch out often (this results in weird scenarios where you place a item; leave the house and return and its like the item was never moved; no matter how many times you move it; to fix you have to return the item to inventory and place it again)

I would like to control the lighting on my floors individually!

Yes, or even place additional chandeliers, but that would require a bit of tweaking so you could place things on ceilings, which would’ve been nice when they made the skylights!

I generally have the back of my small’s basement partitioned off into a different area, and it would be nice to be able to move the chandelier position and/or add a second for better lighting.

Apartment
I was trying make a cabin feel, and have a simple loft for bed and table. Being new to glitch, I didn't rotate lock it. (finish the video next time). After not doing that lock three times and losing all progress three times. I give up. Not touching that garbage system again.
Ruin my mood to even play the game.

I can drop by to help you out with it. It really ends up being muscle memory when you get the idea down.
