More Item Slots for Housing!

I'm not sure about anyone else, but to me, it feels like housing needs the ability to add more items to them, both inside and outside.

For example, I believe the current setup is something like this:
Small House: 100 items inside/20 items outside.
Medium House: 150 items inside/30 items outside.
Large House: 200 items inside/40 items outside.

I find that a bit too little, especially with Medium and Large housing and would prefer it if it was increased, even a little bit to something like:
Small House: 125 items inside/25 items outside.
Medium House: 200 items inside/40 items outside or even 175 items inside/35 items outside.
Large House: 300 items inside/55 items outside or even 275 items inside/45 items outside.

I may be the only one who feels like my creativity gets a bit limited by the current system, but I've noticed with Large houses that it can be difficult to fill in all the space and even Medium homes can have this problem as well.

I for one, agree with you. They need to consider updating the item limit for housing, especially since they’ve just opened up four new housing wards.

I completely agree with you deary. My best friend and I both agree with the current system our creativity gets limited.

For instance, I really love how my home is decorated as though it's an actual house (living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms upstairs, man cave in the basement for the husband). The only issue is my walls are empty and there are no basic decorations (like plushies, flower vases, food, etc) to make the home look lived in, or how I would have my spaces in RL. My bedroom and guest rooms are pretty plain and lack personalization, because all the main furnishings take up the allowance. And my poor hubby can't finish his man cave because I took most of the allowance for the other two floors. There's so much more we'd love to do, but can't...

Agreed completely.. my room is stuck.. :-;

100% agree. Please just give us 300 items for Medium houses, thanks! Everyone's houses look so bare.

Completely agree! I was one of the lucky ones to get a house recently and I've wasted so much money and time on not being able to display what ive got. 20 items outside is far to limited, I've not decorated the inside yet but I'm already spending more time on planning that than I did the garden. Maybe if key type items such as gardening, stable, aethryte thing didn't count against it??

add more capacity to private chambers too and allow us to have more than 2 flower pots, I tried gardening its a great addition, would be nice to be able to cross gardening in a Private Chamber

I have slowly upgraded from small to medium and finally mansion.

Small wasn't too limited for item limit, Medium I had to block off an entire floor just to get the detail I wanted on the other 2 floors.
Now with a mansion it is extremely noticeable just how little item limit they offer.

omg...I decorated the little platform area of the mansion where the stairs split and detailed how I would in any other game. I tossed a few pieces into the upper floor rooms to use later...and poof I am already at 115/200 :confused: :confused: :confused:

I nearly fainted..lolol how incredibly low of an item limit.

300 will not cut it at all...we need at least 400 for mansions to accommodate accent lighting etc..and that's at minimum!

I would say double item limit for Medium and triple it for Large.

It is sad I will have to once again block floors off just so the one left looks complete. I love to decorate but am starving for item limit. I haven't tried the outside yet, but looks really low too. :mad

shameful SE

I agree with increasing the housing item limits on all house types.

Considering how long it takes exterior furnishings to load while birding around the wards, I think the outdoor limit has to do with capping the graphic load?

Agree with addz3, at the least make aetheryte not a furnishing, just be a decor of the plot, like the doors to workshop/chambers are in the interiors. I'm willing to sacrifice my ability to move the aetheryte aroun (and stables + garden for that matter) to gain 3 more outdoor furnishing spots.

that's 3 more trees! @_@

You are probably correct. There's plenty of times I see neighbors Choco's in their yard but must move a bit closer to see the stable. Those seem to be the last thing to load.

YES PLEASE. I just got my first house (small) having read that the item limit was being boosted, than finding out I bought the house that.. it has not. I for one love splitting the rooms into well... more rooms. My upper floor has a living room and kitchen, and a side hallway that dubs as both a planter area by the window and the way down stairs... The bottom floor is split into a bathroom, and a bedroom/work area, with a den/bar sitting between them. BAM I have 9 item slots left, so now I have to think on what little details I want. >.<

My yard is even worse. My plot is in the goblet, plot 14, sitting right in front of that tall winmill/waterfall. I wanted to turn the front area into a wooded garden and the side into a relaxing seating overlooking the waterfall. But just doing the front area I'm already 14 items into my 20. The side area is fully empty still. I wanted a path leading to the side, I wanted to line the path with trees... I... I want my yard to look nice not empty!

Please SE, for a small house even 5 more slots outside and 15 inside would be already amazing, there are so many small iterms for decoration I would like to put in my house but I cant. :(

You are not alone in your thinking! I think is an excellent idea!

I pretty much agree, they should add more items for private rooms, small houses, medium and large houses.

First world problems!@#$

*retreats to her cardboard box underneath the Gridania aetheryte*

They really need to up the item limit. 20 items for outside is incredibly minimal. I've easily reached this cap and my yard is still looking quite bare.

Not even 25 is enough, but seriously up the damn numbers already, there's sooo many furniture out there now!

agree with this. our fc has a large plot and it annoys me we have to skimp on details when furnishing rooms and halls because of the very restrictive item limits

Yes please ;~;!!

god i wish the increased it. I have a small and literally 5 more slots outside would be plenty! and inside i just want to make the place feel lived in

Definitely in need of a drastic increase, especially when they're introducing "small ground area" items for the garden. Things like The Rising poles are so thin that even a small garden wouldn't look out of place having a dozen.

If they don't increase plot limits they need to increase the sizes (& corresponding resolution, not just a vile texture stretch) of things like planters or lupins etc to cover more of the space. I would love a garden rather than a lawn with stuff on it.

I wish they would manage the lawns like they seem to be planning the fish tanks, where the size of the items determine how many you can have. Like let's say you can have 20 of the extra large items like the fountains or ponds, but twice as many small items like the pillars Culfinrandir mentioned.

Agreed 1000% . Please please increase the item limit. The tiniest little decoration objects like stuffed moogle, the incensory, plant pots and more... They really should just take up half a slot or something. And as they add new furnishing items it really really sucks debating what to take away from an estate hall/room to swap it with the new items.

I really agree with all of this (and always did).
Just writing here because I just read the patch notes and the first thing I saw was that even the leaves and the new trees dropping said leaves are a seperate item.
I mean..REALLY, SE? Still no word on a furniture limit increase and you split even the silliest small details up into taking several slots?
I'm surprised we get the bottles as one item and not one furniture slot per bottle x.x

Don't get me wrong, I generally like being able to move even small details the way I like it, but if you have that kind of system in your game,
you also need to give the players enough ROOM to do something with said system..

Ok now I am a bit scared that each fish will eat up one slot too...

I doubt the fish are going to eat into your item slots. The aquarium itself likely will and then the fish are simply part of the aquarium (similar to the flower vases you can put your own flowers into).

Whole heartedly agree with the all around item increase.

I specifically went for a small house over a medium one (LBs ward 8 plot 49, right up from the medium by MB which was still available on patch night) because I really wanted to get that rainy day/cozy tea by the warm fireplace/ grandfather clock look. Medium houses at their best still have huge gaps in the detailing. As for large ones...I always seem to be mentally comparing em to the detailing in Haukkee NM, laughable.

I dunno..as with the glamour system /character creation options..while decent, think the devs can appreciate some of us really really REALLy enjoy the finetunning detail work/ creation aspect far as houses are concerned and need to increase the allowable slots, especially considering the amount of time thats passed since houses were released.

ona side note...used 8 sheep rugs to make fluffy 'where are mah toes' carpet for upstairs....if we can just get carpetting flor options..thats 8 free spaces there ; ;
