500 items on large houses + some requests for items

It will be very nice if you can increase the items for the large houses from 400 to 500. And medium and small with some extra as well. There are many people who make their own furniture out of other pieces of furniture so it f.ex looks like 1 piece instead of 10 to make their homes more unique.

Cap increase to the garden would be nice too.

Some items I would like be added at some point:

- Hingan Pillars, maybe even both sizes of them, you seem to have forgotten them in 4.1 :P (Think a lot of ppl misses them)

- Glass partitions (so you can see the rooms on the other side of the wall)

- Mirror partitions (Goldsmith specialist?)

- Mirrors in general and maybe 3 sizes (Goldsmith?)

- Toilets. In maybe 3 different models. Maybe even an outdoor toilet (woodworking) for outdoor furnishing, and a couple for indoor furnishing? (goldsmith/blacksmith/armorer) :P

- Paper partitions without the sliding door to use as propper walls. Without the blue edge around it, just the paper squares maybe?

Will add more if others have more ideas of what they would like to see in-game :)

Thanks for reading :)

Its the front yard that really needs the cap increased.

The cap for all houses literally just got doubled at 4.0 launch.... I don't even know what to do with 400. 300 was more than enough to make my large not feel empty.

my guess is you're a new home owner. Try decorating a large with only 200 items :p

I am not a new home owner, but I love decorating. I just finished decorating the FC mansion, and I make my own designs etc to try and make it unique and good looking. I have already used up all 400 slots for the mansion, and I have to tweak and remove items to add other ones I feel is more important. There are plenty of more space I could add things, on the walls, plants etc, without it looking too crowded, but there is not enough slot space. They could at least make it so that the partition walls and table tops aren't counted in the slot space. It would give more artistic freedom :)

Imho, there shouldn't be a limit at all to how much you can put inside/outside the houses, no matter the size of the house. You can easily fill the house with 500 items and more without it being messy or cluttered.

They mentioned the front yard is the most problematic part in decorating since they are always loaded out in the zones, so increasing those is harder on the servers than incresing indoor furnishing.

Since the cap increase and also storage, I'm not bothered by the interior furnishings limit any more. Transparent partitions would be interesting but reflective surfaces (e.g. the mirror ideas) are likely impossible in the current system without making everything break. They avoid reflections quite noticeably at times, even down to the characters' eyes reflecting a fixed image rather than rendering a real-time reflection.

I agree we need pillars and paper walls. This thread should really be made in the Housing forum though rather than in General as it might be removed.

I have now put this in the housing section, just in case it gets removed from general :) ty for the heads up :)

I've reached 400 for sure. I still feel that I need 200 more if possible, so I hear you.

600 is really the best estimate for myself to add food furnishings, holiday decorations etc.

even after reaching 400, I am still held out for one more room sadly. Wanted to put more wall and table decos.

I agree with you.

I'd like to be able to see through the fishtanks, particularly the tier 4 as I use it for a room divider :)

I'm more bothered by the fact that having too many clickable items near each other causes some to go invisible.

How can I ever hope to make my Apartment into an all-you-can-eat buffet when food will go invisible if they continue adding more?!

500-600 would be ideal and fix the problem that half of the items that can be clicked disappear.

In my small house I easily nearly reached cap both inside and outside. The outside is capped. The inside has about 10-15 free spots which I am trying to keep free in case a retainer brings me something cool or there is an event item that I want to put out.
I could easily most likely hit the another 100 pieces placed with everything I put into it.

So yeah. Don't think any size has enough place able spots.

I would like to see 600 for a large personally. The item limit in my opinion should be 200/400/600 for each size. There is so much more i could do in my large but just don't have anymore slots. I have no clue how they did it before.

100% this. The front yards hold barely anything and its aggravating, my yard looks so barren >:[

Yeah I'm in favor of this too.

I also reached 400/400 in my large house recently, and my room in the FC house is at 84/100. I wouldn't mind an increase in capacity again. However...

I would really like to see this addressed too. I've tried to strategically place items around my large so that pop-in will most occur outside the player's view, but it's definitely severely limited some of my design choices.

A couple of things I've wondered about in regards to that...
A major issue I had initially was with the new wallpaper partitions. I thought they were fun, and put a lot of them up around my house. This created a lot of pop-in issues eventually, so I've swapped out a majority of them for Blank Partitions instead. I've noticed that dyeable objects that aren't "intractable", like the Blank Partition, don't seem to be an issue. Perhaps it's less convenient, but maybe changing the wallpaper application to a submenu in the housing menu, similar to applying dyes, would make these items technically "non-interactable" and allow for easier use of the item since they won't count towards the "interactable" item limit anymore.

Also food decorations. I also removed all food items from my house, as I placed them for decoration specifically, not necessarily to be used. It's left my dining room area pretty vacant though... Perhaps an "interactable" toggle in the item placement menu could help with that, if it actually makes the items no longer count towards the draw limit.

I like the idea having an option to turn on/of specific clickable items to in the house such as portraits, food and partitions. I myself I only use food for decoration and portraits only need to be "clickable" when I'm changing the paintings. I would be more inclined to use custom partitions if they didn't take up a active item slot.

Cap increase to yards would be awesome. For a small, 20 item slots is just hard to work with. There ends up being several bare spots that would benefit from something simple like one more bush. I always end up reaching my limit and realizing i’ll need bigger items to fill the space, but that using the large yard items available will ruin the effect I was going for.

The ward system is holding back yard increases as you have to load up not only the exterior house choices for 30 plots, there's also up to 730 pieces of furniture being loaded up.

I have to say, I love to decorate and I do mind the details of my housing. but 400 items is not enough. I just decorated that basement and got such high praise on it, it doesn't look cluttered or cramped, but I already used up 250 items.
I did my study upstairs and those where again 50 items, now I have less then 100 items left to decorate the main floor of the large plot. and I even blocked of 1 room upstairs already. (I even took away as much as possible.. and still.)
500 ITEMS I say yes, please!
