Furniture Placement 'Cannot Be Used'

From the Patch Notes:

You can place each object at any location and at any angle. The only limitation beyond the Furnishing caps is there is a small safe area near the main entrance which cannot be filled with items.

Note that certain furnishings such as chairs and crafting stations may not be usable if placed at an unusual location or orientation (you’ll know if an item is placed in a bad location if it highlights red).


@ZOS_GinaBruno

I do not consider having a chair set out on the beach to be an 'unusual location' especially if you want to sit and listen to the ocean. I just purchased the Hunding's Palatial Hall and put a chair out on the beach, and I cannot use it there. I really think the devs need to look into this and realize that players WANT TO sit on the beach and enjoy their property, this isn't something 'unusual'. The chair did not turn red, so it isn't even in a 'bad location'.

    Funny, I ended up placing the chair up on a ledge overlooking the beach, which IMO is in an extremely 'unusual location' but I can use the chair there. Perhaps ZOS should add 'beach chairs' then to make placement on the beach, less unusual.

    Ok... I feel dumb now... finally figuring out how to actually use the placement system... have to make sure the color turns GREEN before placing. I was just making sure it wasn't Red... apparently Yellow and Red make it unusable. Strange that using the 'align' function can make it turn Yellow instead of auto-aligning it so that it's Green.

    Anyway, sorry for the rant... but just kind of sucked that I dropped the money on the house and couldn't decorate it how I wanted. Apparently it was a L2D issue!! :p
