  1. There is lots of other vids ye, but when I first started doing housing I couldn’t find anyone that explained glitches on pc/keyboard, without having to use a controller 💕 I’m sure this will be helpful for lots of people⭐️ur a star⭐️

  2. This is probably the most informative yet concise explanation of the various techniques used. Others tend to ramble before finally getting to the point. Thank you! Couple questions regarding your recent, beautiful attic build, some of which I attempted to replicate, with respect to floating the mannequin in the brick wall:
    (1) After floating the mannequin, you placed a crate underneath. Does this prevent the mannequin from snapping back to floor level?
    (2) I don't have a healing spec at level 80 yet, so I couldn't obtain the same item you used (Weathered Arbatel Cloak). So instead I used a Ruby Cotton Chasuble (which doesn't work as well because the cape reaches the floor – I don't know of a better alternative). Here's the problem I ran into:
    – I could float the mannequin in housing mode, but upon exiting housing mode, the object (male Elezen) stood at floor level, with cape touching the ground. Yet, when re-entering housing mode, the mannequin is still floating. When out of housing mode, the male Elezen always stands at ground level (not floating). Is this expected behavior due to item used (Ruby Cotton Chasuble)? Or is it possible to float this item?

  3. One thing that I haven't seen any tutorials mention: for floating items, the speed at which you exit the housing menu when placing the shelf/lift item is super important. I really struggled with this at first because people kept saying exit quickly, but if you exit TOO quickly, the shelf won't "stick" and whatever you're floating won't move up. If you exit too slowly, the shelf will stick but then the item you're floating won't move up. Gotta find the sweet spot in the middle.

  4. I don't know why, but anytime I try to do the NUM* (Display Subcommands) when pulling the shelf from my inventory, it will only display the commands for grid snap and counter placement. Not the subcommands for Place. Now if I pull it from my storage then it shows, but then the glitch doesn't work.

    This is so frustrating…

  5. I was having such a hard time finding a window glitch for partitions and you explained what to do so well! My personal quarters look so much better with the partitions as walls
