Normal editor tools. When?

[Solowing]

You can be shorter with your words, this quote would be enough to show your attitude. Thats what you think about mod users or users who will use advanced tools in a future.
The point is - i don't require your respect. We are not competing.

Which law are you talking about? The one you made up? You are the judge?

Sigh...is a mental disorder? You are or liar or suffer from bipolar.
Here is your post in this thread
Feature Request: Allow us to SAVE & LOAD housing furnishing presets or layouts!
You voted for 100% atomatical feature, whats wrong with you?
Also, you did't know the definiton of AI? Next, you'll be telling me that 2+2=5?

How many inaccurate medical terms can you throw out you creative hack? The ironic part about throwing out the Dunning Kruger is the people tossing out the term arnt educated enough to know they are using that term incorrectly..

You been flailing all thread ever since I called ur screenshots modded, the worst part i didn't lie, does the truth discredit your work, Ms "Only the results matter"?

Im agree and see here a main point, that it can involve more people in housing, if builder instruments will be simple and effective. Many of my friends and acquaintances gave up halfway through, even though they tried. I see no reason to blame them for laziness.

Considering your actual drawing skills, you are—to put it mildly—in no position to lecture anyone on global creativity.

Your friends are being unwilling to fight to see a vision, they have an idea but arnt willing to execute because the process to too hard for them and that's not lazy and you don't blame them for it. But my art is amateur, and that was self taught in my adult years not knowing how to draw at all lol Your logic coddles your friends, but is truthful to who you dislike. LOL I agree with you about being amateur, that's why I'm still at it, trying to get better. And yet you don't blame your friends for giving up. Your logic is warped and dependent on who you're talking to and if you like them or not.

So does my work get a free pass because the friction of the medium?

Or your friends (and you by extension) lose the right to speak because you and them gave up on the vision because you didn't master the medium, you sidestepped it. Which strips you of your right to talk about creativity..

I've never said your opinion was invalid.But your opinion does lack weight compared to mine. You don't ask someone who brings their car to a mechanic to repair it on how their car functions, you ask the mechanic. They're the ones actually under the hood , doing the work.

[Burmecia]

it's every creator's own choice if they want to push limit, or buttons, or both. i think freedom to choose is very important when it comes to art-- imo more important that feeling optimal level of discomfort when creating it.
i don't believe for a second that minimal level of discomfort on the creator's part for the thing to reach the status of art exists. outside the realm of opinions, it seems really hard to prove for the starters...

i cannot know if that limit pushing leads to some kind of impressive masterpiece, or piece of s#it. wasn't the the beauty in the eye of some beholder guy anyway

the fake furniture floats all the same whether it's put in it's place with system, or with glitch in system. and let's not shame Papa Johns enjoyers... i dont even live in USA so i've no idea is the place name is shorthand for some shitty pizza time.

When? Soon I hope, if people want to use the old way feel free, I'm all for easier movement and floating, resizing, unlimited placement etc.

And Mannequins still need a name toggle no reason to show the name to visitors, my weapon display cries.

Was on vacation, was happy to heard about new features in housing annouced at Berlin Fan Fest 2026. A long-awaited breath of optimism: the housing will finally be updated!

Solowing, advanced editor confirmed, no more points for me to discuss anything with you anymore. "Laws of nature"? "Sweat tax"? i'm not your therapist to listen all this nonsence again and again. There is a difference between fiction of a single dreamer and real facts that are supported by scientific research and studies.

Still want to argue? Read something about helfull restrictions before to do, those articles are simple and short. Don't be a jester.
No? Well, just write your "LoL" once again and get out of this thread.This will prove that I didn't call you ignorant for nothing.

Link 1:

This finding moves the key research question away from whether constraints in general are good or bad for creativity and toward (a) uncovering what kinds and levels of constraints are most productive and (b) integrating that evidence into a theory that makes testable predictions about the impact of constraints on creativity

While self-report data suggest that people feel more creative when they have more rather than less choice in a creative task (Sellier & Dahl, 2011), studies on constraints in creativity show that actual creative performance may contradict such self-reported feelings of creativity. More creative outcomes often emerge under more constrained conditions that allow less choice (e.g., Medeiros et al., 2016; Mehta & Zhu, 2016; Rosso, 2014; Stokes, 2006). Increasing constraints — and thereby decreasing choice and limiting options – actually promotes creativity.

Link 2:
Computer scientist and IT expert Dovan Rai describes the mechanism precisely. Creative ideas arrive during walks or showers, she says, because those moments are about making connections that are not obvious. The brain needs unstructured time, resistance, and the absence of an easy answer before it will produce something worth keeping.

Link:3:
In my book, “Creative Velocity”, I discuss constraints and how they can help improve creative problem-solving. When we think about problem-solving, it’s natural to assume that fewer limits = better outcomes. After all, greater freedom should allow us to explore every possible avenue.

Surprisingly, research and real-world practice show the opposite: constraints often improve problem-solving and spark more inventive outcomes

Link 4:
“If you look at people who don’t have resources or only have limited resources, they actually end up being more creative with what they have,” he said. “If you go to a poor country and see how they solve problems by repurposing older products, it’s super-innovative. When times are tough, resource-poor people become more creative in their use of everyday products.”

The inverse also is true: When a general sense of abundance is prevalent, a constraint mindset will not be activated and individuals are less likely to move away from the traditional functionality of a given product, thereby resulting in lower levels of creativity.

You called me ignorant using articles that entirely validates my point. I don't need to insult you. The truth speaks for itself and cuts deeper than any insult I could throw.

I understand the want for a easier tool, but the tools friction as is what forces that creative gear to kick in..

It is great that you finally read it! Sad you did it wrong...
Why did you focused on the word "constraints" while completely ignored other points in those articles?

Link 1:
The text said “what kinds and levels of constraints are most productive.” Limiting design choices (fewer assets) fosters creativity. Depriving players of basic tool control due to a poor UI does not.
Link 2 (about AI):
You missed the entire point of the article. Dovan Rai says the brain needs unstructured time to make creative connections. Mechanical friction (fighting a broken UI) steals that time. The author of this very article explicitly states that while conceptual resistance is good, system/interface friction actively kills creativity.
Link 3:
The author of "Creative Velocity" discusses "problem-solving" within a design framework, not overcoming software defects. Real creative problem-solving in housing means finding a clever approach to zoning, color theory, or style. Spending hours to fighting with glitches to bypass a missing Z-axis isn't "inventive problem-solving", don't you think? I’s just a workaround for a flawed tool that has nothing to do with design talent.
Link 4:
You are misinterpreting your own quote.... The text explicitly says scarcity drives creativity by forcing people to "move away from the traditional functionality of a given product." Need example? Turning a bookshelf backward to create a wooden wall -that is creative solution. But a Z-axis is not a "product with traditional functionality"—it is a basic dimension of 3D space. Depriving players of basic 3D positioning doesn't change how they view an item's function; it just adds tedious mechanical friction to an already creative process.

Conclusion: research supports specific constraints, not artificial suffering due to a flawed UI.

The reason I and other players disagree with you is because your point of view is completely unbalanced and one-sided, maybe because its based solely on your personal experience, Solowing?
I gave you articles to broaden your horizons, I hope you will at least think about it.

[Solowing]

Your broad one's horizon at the very articles you post actually agree with my perspective , the fact that you actually have to go in and try to retreat , translate their words when the plain text spelled out for you.

It's gonna take a little while to compile all of this , but I will and it'll be on this post. Every time that article agrees with me. The thing is, I can look at the plain face text of it.And understand where it relates to my position.

You have to quite literally retranslate what they said, because the plane face texts doesn't quite agree with you.So you have to interpret it to your own position

[Solowing]

I gave you articles to broaden your horizons, I hope you will at least think about it.

Link 1: This article advances an integration of the concepts of creativity, constraints, and education, which may appear as a paradoxical combination, and provides both a theoretical foundation and practical applications.

Actually , would make you less creative since you're taking out some of the thought process. It's basically like giving you a calculator. There's no reason to learn how to do math in your head.When you can offload it to something that does it automatically..

The human brain, as psychologist Aarati Gurung explains, is always ready to grab the easiest path. That is not a bug in human cognition. It is an adaptation that served us for a hundred thousand years. The problem is that the friction AI removes is not waste. It is the process itself.

Humans love convenience, but we respect the sweat tax. And for some reason , is this weird inversion where people want the convenience and expect the praise of the sweat tax.

Im sorta being the housing system, sometimes a "No", is what you need to hear to kickstart that creativity to get to the yes. You don't like being told "No". You find it irritating. I find it a puzzle and helps people tap into the creative pits by digging deep into "what's possible" not "Whats allowed".

Link 4:
“Once we become used to not being creative – to being merely passive consumers – it seems that the creativity muscle begins to atrophy, which does not bode well for future generations,” Mehta said. “It also doesn’t bode well for the present, because we need every ounce of creativity that we have to tackle our problems.”

You find creativity through friction.You don't remove the friction and expect creativity to survive. It's a muscle that consistently needs to be used.

And please enjoy this clip from the MacGyver TV show reboot. It’s a great demonstration of how constraints drive an innovative solution design.

I implore people to accept the friction to become the modern day macgyver.

------------

You can't be an artist without the creativity , but you can't have creativity without the friction. Prisoners are some of the most creative people out there because when they have nothing but limitations , creativity takes control.

Might wanna find some sources that don't mirror the very things I'm saying.

[Solowing]

Creation as a process, shouldn't be the path of pain and sorrow.

So you say the process doesn't matter and only only the end results matter.

What is creation as a process if you are entirely for skipping the process?

Well looks promising Yoshi P's mention of WoW housing making him more aware of xiv housings shortcomings. Two major housing updates for 8.0 is exciting. I expect one will be making things easier to place given his mention of UI.

And I guess housing mirage mentioned will be coming too. Bit annoying it takes WoW showing up XIV in a public way for them to get their ass in gear and fix long standing issues with the system but hey... I'll take it.
