All the obstacles, all the little moments where you stop and see the space taking shape, all the little detours you have to take because the easiest route to take is blocked off. And the end result is never how I imagined it in my head, but its perfect as it is, because I made it perfectly. Its a puzzle in a journey and at the end of it you get to bask in its completion. Congrats, you completed the journey!

I get why people want it. But once you start digging into it. You dig into it. Ive shown friends how to try to use the system by not looking at its limitations but what creativity is shaped by the spaced they are confined in. Their design take a massive quality jump, and nothing changed but their mindset. An how they approach the system.

But once they add in this, its less of a journey and a walk to the corner store and back. Yes changing out items on the fly is easier. But that timesink investment is now gone, there's nothing to figure out. Once you're done in an hour, what's left?
Nicely put.

They did mention the possibility of adding XYZ placement in the first 7.5 live letter.

This is a bittersweet announcement for me. The first time I successfulllly floated a floor furninshing on PS5 I said "Sheesh that sucked, why is this necessary???". Then I proceeded to do a few more... Then I woke up the next morning proud of my accomplishment and feeling like I had built something.

50 rooms later and I get a (masochistic?) enjoyment out of the system the way it is now and have never used 3rd party tools because of that.

However, objectively I do think the housing designer needs this upgrade objectively. And even though I will miss my creative workarounds to old rules and the sense of accomplishment from manual floating, ultimately I think the change will open up new possibilities and I will be happy with the time savings.
