@JonaO703 thanks so much for checking that out, yes I also found that items were still snapping to the grid. There is a report for the Desert Luxe curtains and poles not lining up and it seems Modern Luxe has the same issue, I found my Medium Desert Luxe ones don't line up now either like they used to. I reported it. So I'm going to try what you suggested today, it's listed as a workaround on that bug report too so I'm hopeful that will work 🤞.
I was going to report the throw pillow issue but it appears that it was always only going to be possible with cheats and easier on PC which is a little disappointing. So I think I'll just be making decorative areas with platform sections that aren't functional as seats but look nice anyway with the throw pillows. It's a bit style over substance that little pillow.
@gooochyeee we have full/half grid snapping and free placement commands on Xbox and can place in a quarter grid on walls and floors only.
Edit: the curtain workaround did work, which is odd because it was snapping quite high above the actual window as well as on the window and only offering those 2 options. It solved both issues to remove the window and place curtains first, then pole and lastly window. That's for a tall wall. I found a different method for a short wall as I mentioned earlier in the thread. But the cushions just don't work so I'm going to raise it on console feedback and see if it can be considered in our ongoing controls reviews.
That's all I needed... argumentative soft furnishings 🤦. I'm now going to bury my head in some real throw pillows and scream loudly.
@simsplayer818 Wait, do you mean that you were not able to raise the pillow onto the chair? I don't have the Modern Luxe kit on my PS4 but I used MOO to place the lunch box ... it's about the same size right? lol
There's some clipping when the sim sits in the same spot but it still worked. I figure if it works for the lunch box then it should work for the pillow. These are the steps I took.
- Enabled MOO
- Moved the lunch box "under" the sofa
- While the lunch box was still active / green, pressed L+R triggers and directional pad up to raise it
- Pressed L+R bumpers and right analog stick to rotate
- Clicked X to place
@JonaO703Thanks so much for checking that for me. It's looking like an Xbox or Xbox Series X issue. EASolaire is assisting me on the the technical issues thread. I tested it on other items too and ironically I could place a games console on seating but not the throw pillows, they just snap to the floor. I had a response on the technical issues thread from a PS5 player too who said it works for her too and since it works on PC that narrows it down to Xbox by the look of it...or just me... maybe... hopefully not... nothing would surprise me 😕.
It would have to happen to the world's biggest throw pillow fan.
Edit: after another few hours of testing I attach a few images (here and on the tech issues report) of well behaved soft toys sitting on furniture exactly where I placed them and the throw pillows doing the exact opposite. I came up with a decorative solution that I'm happy with though by mimicking the Desert Luxe seating and end tables by using platforms to make what I am now calling "faux seating" 😁.
Just to update on this placement issue we got there eventually and it helps to remove the sofa and place the throw pillows with MOO then click them up to the right height then put the sofa back and place the pillows with free placement. That's for anyone having the same issue. Same as the workaround for the curtain/pole placement where it works better if you add them before placing the window.
