Please add a toggle to turn off the usage for event food-type furnishings..

They're weak enough food buffs that they could just take the limited usage off of them if they want the interactive part of it in tact.

I'd be totally up to leaving the setting on for people to come in and tinker with my housing interactable stuff if it wasn't for super limited seasonal food decorations

I'm a bit confused now. The information in this thread is contradicting the information in the following thread, which states only tenants of the house may interact with food decorations.

I'm assuming that they're referring to FC members coming into the FC house to eat the items (FC members automatically being tenants as long as their rank permissions don't restrict house entry).

Ok, so then this is about FC members being able to use the food decorations in homes belonging to their FC, and not about random people ransacking any old unlocked home? I was about to have my first ever panic attack.

Yes.. you must have permission to eat food in someones house in this game. Those permissions can be linked to FC membership for FC houses or tenant status for private houses.

But.. accidents still happen. So it'd be nice to be able to set food items as decorations so someone you trust doesn't walk in and "lol I'm eating this" and then you're out a 5 dollar decoration because it's seasonal (which is kinda dumb in the first place).

The only tiny problem with the food turning into decoration is that people sometimes use the empty plates to create some of their decorating ideas. I'd personally like to see all the furnishing items from events become obtainable whenever you want from the Calamity Salvager.

It would also clean up the presentation a bit because if you can't interact with the item it won't have that arrow hovering over it.

Holy shit, this is actually hilarious. It has some Saturday morning cartoon villain energy.

As much as I'd love to see this, SE won't put event food furnishings on the salvager because they'd lose out on those cashshop sales. I still think the easiest option would just be to add a food toggle to the FC/Housing permissions. This way, if you want the "clean" plate look you can just turn off the seting until the food is used up. Either way, I feel like something seriously needs to be done about this. It really ruins the fun of decorating.

For me, alternatively, allow us to pay some kind of gil fee to "Restock" consumed uses of food.

I think this is a fantastic idea too. It would solve the issue mostly and add a gil sink.
