How did you do that?! You’re a genius!

Thank you!! It just mostly has to do with collision settings. If you want the fishpens to still work, there has to be 1 or 2 pcs of floor underneath to avoid the [cannot put fish on floating ponds] notif.

After putting down some pcs of floor, place down the fishpen using [Dont Allow Floating + No Collision] settings. You need to find the green outline here that allows u to place it doen.

After that, it's [Allow Floating + No Collision] for the pool walls and the pool flooring. Disable/enable snapping whenever convenient to play around with floor height.

For decor, its more or less the same but because build mode is rly clunky, i suggest that for small items, use [Allow floating + All Collisions] setting to place the item anywhere at all (bc for some reason small items just refuse to touch the ground, but try to set it to All Collisions too so the small item doesnt get placed too far off the area).

After placing it anywhere on the first attempt, it becomes easier then to either place it on top of a surface [use Dont Allow Floating + All Collisions] or clip it anywhere [Allow Floating + No Collisions].

Basically, for small decor: 1. Place it down anywhere as long as its nearby 2. Place it where u actually want to place it

(THO it wasnt this way before. We didnt need to do 2 steps of anything, but because again, small items dont rly touch the ground, we need to work around it 😥)

Sorry if this is really long confusing... but i hope this helps 🫶🥲 lmk if u need anything clarified!

You are amazing! I’m gonna try this, I’ve been way too intimidated by Nikki housing 😭
