    You’ve done a tutorial!!! Looking forward to watching these, and seeing how well I matched up with my design.

  2. Jon Dickson on November 3, 2022 at 8:18 am

    Great Video! I am having a problem with the two inside glade lamps though. I can take them to the same height as the first two but I can’t select those 2 lamps to rotate them to make it permanent. I can only rotate them until they get to the bottom of the windows which is where they fall back to when I re-enter the room. What am I doing wrong?

  3. High Value on November 3, 2022 at 8:21 am

    you should have done the glitches steps slower, as a beginner in FF14 and the housing in general i can’t follow your steps. in particular those with glitches to finish the 2nd floor .
    i have to give up now 🙁

    *Tip for the new players* ,,
    understand how the glitches works before you spend your gil on the shopping List.

  4. Jekyll Eevee on November 3, 2022 at 8:22 am

    thank you soooooo much for the wall glitch idea, my room looks soo much better with natural lighting now XD

  5. Judis M. on November 3, 2022 at 8:23 am

    This tutorial was crazy good. I love the wall of windows.

  6. MRoriz on November 3, 2022 at 8:23 am

    You really did a great job making the apartment look cozy and inviting. It has a lot of personality, and I totally agree with you on the window part. They do really make the place look a lot bigger than it actually is.

  7. Kalek Arcane on November 3, 2022 at 8:25 am

    Great video, I love your ideas

  8. GlacierFox523 on November 3, 2022 at 8:30 am

    love the lay out though I am having a hard time doing the window on the pillar as I got it to float but it’s not snapping back to the ball when I removed stage. I am using a controller sadly.

  9. dharma on November 3, 2022 at 8:31 am

    still waiting for part 2

  10. EdSi on November 3, 2022 at 8:31 am

    I love it!!!!!!!!!

  11. Maverted on November 3, 2022 at 8:31 am

    This was exactly what I was looking for! Felt like I got the hang of the glitches by the end of this, enough at least to have a good idea what the next steps were going to be. You explain very well, easy sub. Looking forward to Pt. 2.

  12. Mogit Live on November 3, 2022 at 8:33 am

    I cannot lift the bed no matter what I try

  13. J S on November 3, 2022 at 8:37 am

    Hi there. Great guide! I am having an issue and was wondering how did you get the loft and stairs to move at the same time with the stage panel (approx 6:12 in the video). For me the loft doesnt attach to the stage panel like the stairs do

  14. Fenril7 on November 3, 2022 at 8:40 am

    New sub! Finally glad to see people actually showing more details, instead of a camera just zooming across things and we end up missing the details or how they dis something. TY <3

  15. Psychadellia on November 3, 2022 at 8:40 am

    Absolutely love this design, took me 6 hours to replicate but was a fun learning experience! 😂
    My Shirogane apartment will stay this way 4life! ♥

  16. Antonin on November 3, 2022 at 8:41 am

    omg, thank you so much

  17. ShadowofaRaven on November 3, 2022 at 8:41 am

    Absolutely amazing guide. However, I can’t figure out how you get your partitions flush with the pre-existing pillars at 3:25ish.

  18. Etienne Kordalski on November 3, 2022 at 8:42 am

    My stairs stay stuck to the stage panel. How do i unlink them

  19. AsIRecall13 on November 3, 2022 at 8:42 am

    I have an Au Ra character and any time he sits in the chair in the loft he only takes up the front half of the chair…. does anyone know how to make it so he sits closer back?

  20. Tronogy on November 3, 2022 at 8:43 am

    I can’t lift the bed. 😑☹

  21. James Wutt on November 3, 2022 at 8:48 am

    Part 2 plsssss

  22. Sef C. on November 3, 2022 at 8:49 am

    thanks for the tips! Used the staircase idea to renovate my layout and it looks amazing, thank you!

  23. Joey on November 3, 2022 at 8:50 am

    Hey! At: 3:23, how do you make the windows pop on the partitions like that? Cuz it doesn’t happen in my appartment (Shirogane)

  24. kokaru kontono on November 3, 2022 at 8:51 am

    Love the layout going to borrow the space saving techniques Cant wait to see part 2

  25. That Guy on November 3, 2022 at 8:52 am

    This is too good.
    You need "Burningdownthehouse" plug in to put all that creativity to good use. Seriously.

  26. Kim Kobesen on November 3, 2022 at 8:55 am

    I have still no f-ing idea how you get the windows on your partition.
    Why don’t you explain????

  27. Kianne of Troi 's Gaming channel on November 3, 2022 at 8:55 am

    how do you sink items in to the floor floor not the fake floor? with out them popping back up ?

  28. Dominus Deus H'ghar on November 3, 2022 at 8:55 am

    Great tutorial! Really helps out as a beginner to all of this.

  29. Daniel Liu on November 3, 2022 at 8:56 am

    Thank you for the guide! Finally made the window wall for my apartment!

  30. Medivh on November 3, 2022 at 8:57 am

    looks like l can finally create a room that’s not a black ops prison.

  31. D5675tt on November 3, 2022 at 8:58 am

    I still don’t understand how can you teleport the futon upper and upper

  32. DawnFelicis on November 3, 2022 at 8:59 am

    Ty ty ty!! So excited to try this 💜

  33. Silver on November 3, 2022 at 9:04 am

    Looking forward to part 2 🙂

  34. Tora on November 3, 2022 at 9:05 am

    any help with doing the window and stage glitch? been having trouble with it for the longest time lol

  35. Sol on November 3, 2022 at 9:06 am

    *heavy breathing* part 2?

  36. Rachel Webster on November 3, 2022 at 9:06 am

    Awesome Video! Do you think you could make one where you break down how you make the staircase> I can’t seem to figure that one out.

  37. Nelzorm on November 3, 2022 at 9:07 am

    l am not able to get the futon to float.

  38. SOULIONAIRE on November 3, 2022 at 9:07 am

    how much gil did all of your furnishings cost up to?

  39. PurifiedSoldier on November 3, 2022 at 9:07 am

    Thank you so much for tutorial

  40. Vincent Appa on November 3, 2022 at 9:08 am

    How did you do that thing at 3:29?

  41. Chris Dunkin on November 3, 2022 at 9:09 am

    waiting with bated breath for part 2!

  42. Ange Cee on November 3, 2022 at 9:09 am

    I just wanted to tell you, this video is something I’ve come back to dozens of times. I’m in love with your window placemen and lanterns. It’s incredibly impactful and beautiful. The entire design has been such an inspiration to me and I wanted to thank you for doing it, and the thoughtful way you presented it the information. Thank you! You have a wonderful manner and your asthetic is beautiful.

  43. Jeffrey Ulery on November 3, 2022 at 9:11 am

    Love how you just get everything to glitch so easily yet I am placing the loft a thousand different ways onto of this futon and can’t get it to lift

  44. Jess Shnarcky on November 3, 2022 at 9:11 am

    I’m thinking my apartment maybe unglitchable except the for the counter switch

  45. Mhico Rivera on November 3, 2022 at 9:11 am

    most important rule having your own house in the first place

  46. YamahaOSRS on November 3, 2022 at 9:12 am

    No matter what I do, I can’t get anything to float up. I’m pretty much screwed to have a second floor. Idk what i’m doing wrong.

  47. Damien Bathory on November 3, 2022 at 9:13 am

    Video is great and i can follow it, but i do not know which item you used to level up the bed, ill have to leave it as is and scratch the project.

  48. kidfrom1981 on November 3, 2022 at 9:14 am

    Im having a hard time trying to lift the Paper Partition >_< Its not working for me LUL
    PS: Problem solved. Now im waiting for the part 2, I dont think its posted yet?
    PSS: Id like to thank you for this video. I literally decided to just follow your lead and learned a lot from you. Ive learned some of the tricks on how to place those glade lanterns on top of the tub on other videos, but I still got the inspiration from you. Ive decided to add my own touch and did my own redecoration, but all in all, I thank you for this awesome video! This is my first time glitching stuffs and I love the outcome.

  49. Andrew on November 3, 2022 at 9:14 am

    After grabbing my last item needed from the regular raid, I finally decided to try the _real_ endgame and bought an FC apartment, so this video is exactly what I was looking for! Currently I have a bed, a counter and an indoor BBQ so I have some work to do. 😉

  50. Nguyen Pham on November 3, 2022 at 9:15 am

    I bought an apartment and good thing i find this video, so much detail and steps. Im completely new to housing and i guess it ll be months b4 i can finish mine.
