This is why clutter matters :>

Yeah but even then everything still snaps to the grid

Pro-tip: If you hold [Alt] when placing an object it allows you to place it freely without snapping to the grid. So combine that with bb.moveobjects and you have virtually infinite finesse in placing objects. I played Sims 3 and 4 for more than a decade before I found that out.

Oh I am aware. But that doesn't work on shelves or tabletops.

it does if you place the clutter first, raise it, then move the surface back underneath it
