Penumbra VS BDTHPlugin

you need penumbra if you don't have it yet and use that to install the mod

You can find various body edits on https://www.xivmodarchive.com/ . In order to use them, the easiest way is to use the XIVLauncher (https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher) which enables the addon system. With that, download the addon "Penumbra" to use those edited bodies ingame (https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra).

Runtime loader (Custom clothes, animation): https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra (a year old)

You'll need Penumbra, which in itself requires Dalamud ala the FFXIVQuickLauncher tool. You can install FFXIVQuickLauncher via an installer and here's a video for installing Penumbra.

Download that, also download textools https://www.ffxiv-textools.net/ OR penumbra https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra (this one also needs XIVLauncher) and then import the file you downloaded from nexusmods, and that's it.

Penumbra

Penumbra is a quicklauncher plugin (link) that allows you to non-destructively apply mods.

From what I understand that was fixed a few versions ago. https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra/releases/tag/0.4.6.7

Should be this one I think.

If you dont fulfill them (i.e. BDTH a furniture placement plugin) the launcher still very much supports installing them and offers you the necessary tools to do so. It just simply doesn't recommend them to you and you probably wont get any support on the dalamud discord(depends).

Just gonna link this and save you a lot of time and headache for all future housing endeavors. https://github.com/LeonBlade/BDTHPlugin

Burning Down The House

Many people use the BDTH plugin found here: https://github.com/LeonBlade/BDTHPlugin

By default, they go on the wall. You can put them on the floor if you're on PC using some extra help.

https://github.com/LeonBlade/BDTHPlugin Basically let’s you place furniture, inside or exterior, anywhere in 3D space, with some limits. This is definitely the most TOS breaking plug-in I use and requires the most “discretion” so to speak.

Also, less about getting furniture but about decorating itself, if glitching things are too tedious for you, and if you're not against modding the game.. check this out.
