Hosuing Guides Part One- How to Rug Glitch

Hey guys! Today I'm starting a new series about housing guides and tips. Part one is just basic rug glitching.

How to: Rug Glitch

Items needed:

-Rugs

• tatami floor mat
• long blue runner
• chessboard/flat wooden platform

-crate (almost any big wooden cubes will work except chickens and reinforced)

I use a tatami floor mat because I think it's one of the cheapest small rugs, and it is probably one of the smallest. The small blue trim rug sold by the wizard city housing shop is good too, but it cost 25 gold more and won't fit on some really small tables. I like the long blue runner because it's long and skinny which is good for getting far places quickly without needing too many rugs. I also use a lot of chessboards because they are only 1000 gold and great for placing bigger objects, but recently I've discovered that in the crowns shop the flat wooden platforms are much bigger and longer. Finding the exact rug isn't that important most of the time as long as everything fits.

Pets in PVP

A really simple rug glitch is putting pets in a PVP arena. Usually, you wouldn't be able to place pets there, but with a few easy rug glitches you can add some pets and then take the rug off.

1.      First, grab a tatami floor mat and set it down somewhere where there is plenty of room. Put a long blue runner on it.

2.      Move the tatami floor mat. The long blue runner should stick to the rug under it. Set down the mat as close as possible to the PVP arena.

3.      Put a flat wooden platform just on top of the tatami mat, and put the mat on the long blue runner so that the flat wooden platform is near the middle of the arena.

4.      Add pets! Now that you have a wooden platform on the arena, you should be able to put pets on it. To spread pets all over the arena replace the mats to different positions.

5.      Pick up the long blue runner, and then any other rugs left over.

Rug-a-Round

The first house I ever got when housing first came out was the Royal Estate. I just loved the Marylebone sky and city-like look of it. When I was first trying out rug glitches I decided I wanted to be able to go behind my house to have races, so I bought a lot of large rugs to go all the way around. Really it is a simple process, but it requires a lot of rugs. Note that this does not work in some houses. Sometimes when it doesn't,  making all the rugs higher up off the ground will allow this to work.

1. Buy many rugs. You will need lots of small rugs like the tatami floor mat and many larger ones, I recommend the long blue runners, but any really big rug like the ornate oval rug or the large watcher rug will work just fine.
2. Place a small tatami floor mat, and then a larger rug on top of it.
3. Move the small mat to the edge of the house so that the large rug hangs off.
4. Repeat step two and three by continuing the put small rugs where larger rugs end until you have gone as far as you want.

On the tour I have found some houses with really awesome rug glitches that go really high. Here are a few of them.

Beat the Genie's Curse

For anyone who has tried to farm the genie in the Sultan's Palace consistently may find themselves tired  and frustrated because the nearest teleporter spot is outside the cave in the house part! It's just not worth it to have to walk all the way over there everyday. With some rug bridge skills it is possible to just put a teleporter spot right where the genie's lamp is.

1. I always start in the area right after where the painting is. Put a small rug on a long blue runner. Repeat a second time. Alternate grabbing the small rug and putting it on the end of the remaining long blue runner. Since the path isn't straight it may take some maneuvering to get rugs out into the open area.

2. Once in the open space, get to right where the cliff is and stack three crates. Grab the small rug that is only touching one long blue runner and move it to the room.

3. Move two crates right next to each other so that they are touching. Put the small rug on the crates. Take one crate away, moving the mat with it, but not the long blue runner. Put the crate on top of the crates near the genie.

4. Move the small rug on the the top of the long blue runner one more time. Then, place a crate on a long blue runner. Get your teleporter and put a mark right where the crate is and you've done it! Take apart your rug scaffolding and enjoy not having to walk so far.

Happy Father's Day

Hey everyone, happy Father's Day! In celebration I drew that picture of my character and my dad's. 

I also gave him this print I made in my art class at school.

If you have seen my dad's twitter, you probably noticed that his profile picture is Stitch because that is his favorite Disney character. 

Now that it is fully summer I have lots of posts coming up.

Night Garden Maze

The Arcane Bundle's housing plots are really great for building houses with castle blocks- I've built quite a few and I plan on making more.

But with all this great space, I finally had enough room to make this awesome maze I've been planning for a while. 

Not quite

Nope

Perfect!

But wait! This looks familiar!

The maze game is my favorite pet game, so I thought making a housing version of it would be fun. So I drew up a map.

Then I bought a plethora of bushes and got to work. 

The maze game randomly sends you to one of the four entrances of the maze, so I set up some teleporters:

And the end result:

When I was done with my maze I put it on castle tours, and was surprised the next day to find this:

Number twelve on the maze board! Of course now I've climbed up, I think I'm in the sixties at the moment, but it was neat to be so high for a little while. So if you want to check out the maze, look for it on the top mazes while it's still up!

For the First Time in Forever

Happy New Year everyone! To start it off, here's my latest music video featuring my alts, Heather and Esmee, and a song from Frozen:


While I was getting ready to film Esmee went to Amber's Winter Wind Tower through the 'friends' part of Castle Tours, and I noticed there was a little number by the castle. I checked and was astonished to find that I was number 87 on the top decorated board!

So if you'd like to check out the house I filmed that music video in, just go to the top decorated houses and scroll to page 10, as of right now I think I'm number 91 :D.

Castle Tours Highlights-Day One

I've been seriously addicted to castle tours ever since it was released. I've updated and redecorated most of my houses and have some hooked up with teleporters. I'm amazed at what the leader board people do, all the stunning glitching and decoration makes me inspired and slightly jealous. I'm always especially excited when a random castle on the tour is astounding. Sometimes I am going to try to showcase a really great house that I randomly stumbled upon on the tours. Today, an interesting storm house caught my eye.

The exterior featured a nice little garden dotted with statues and many trees.

The front room inside was heavily decorated with a peculiar arrangement of objects from many different worlds. Usually I don't do this because most of my houses are themed to a particular thing and having too much variety looks strange, but this person made it work somehow. They perfectly combined Mooshu and Wizard City styles creating a living room feel with the large table and red sofas. The potted palms also go well with this.

Downstairs had an underwater theme which was perfect. I liked the crab tables with tropical drinks for every seat. And of course any underwater room wouldn't be complete without crab lamps! I love those things.

The shark room was another nice living room area. It had a mannequin playing the piano. Any homeowner who takes the time to craft mannequins should get points for that. The sofa arrangement was good but I think a blue color scheme would have worked better, maybe switch out the snapdragons for bluebonnets, the red sofas for worn blues, and the pink rug for a blue one.

 I like the symmetry of this room with the lamps and paintings on both sides, the Grizzleheim-Avalon combination looks good.

In my storm house, I found this room particularly hard to decorate because of the shape and all the other stuff going on, but this person managed it well with an underwater workshop theme.

Good feasts and kitchens are a nice addition in any house, and this person did a great job stocking them with lots of food! The log cabin wallpaper fits well too.

The last room is a Mooshu themed bedroom that I thought was nice. It has everything a good bedroom needs, a bed, a dresser, and a floating clock!
