When you own a large house, you realize it is kind of bunk that you only have 400 slots to decorate with. It's why so many home owners block off so much of their houses. Why can't we double the size of it? I would even settle for 600 slots of decoration space in my large. We're running on better systems than the PS3, so why do we need to settle for such small amounts? Please, devs, do something to help us out!
Decorartion limits, why only 400 for a large?

YoshiP has said that increasing interior item limits are on their list of things to do though not when it might happen. I doubt they're ignoring it but they do have other housing issues they're trying to address over the next few months.
It's also not something that was strictly a PS3 problem. SE did double item limits after PS3 support was dropped at the start of Stormblood. Now PS4 players and players with older PCs have loading issues in housing. SE can't double item limits if clients for those players will crash when in housing. They would need to wait until they no longer support PS4 and increase minimum system requirements for PC.
If you want to experience the problems larger item limits can cause, check out RIFT and visit the big Dimensions players have made available for viewing. Being able to place 2500 items sounds great but the result ends up less impressive when it takes you 3 minutes to load into the Dimension and then you watch items randomly appear and disappear as you move around. A lot of the limits we have are nothing to do with what technology is available to game developers and everything to do with what the average player has available at home. -

At least 800-1200 spaces needed for large housing they are like 3-4 times the size of a medium.

Yeah 400 is so limiting, needs to be x5 that.

Listen, I'm not asking for 2500, I'm asking for at most 200 more item slots for a large house. Seems a good compromise. And a lot of the load time issues for PS4 and might be an issue with latency more than hardware, as most PS4 players use Wifi. Having played this game on a laptop that can barely run most games, I was able to run this game just fine, and that game has trouble loading discord, so technological issues aside, I think 200 more items isn't going to break the system.

indie game memory space big sad since covid chip shortage and ps3 limitations sth sth along those lines

12-01-2021, 03:55 AMSotarisDoubtful any of that is based on PS3 hardware.Quote:

Because they would have to increase item limits for all housing because it wouldn't be fair to everyone if only large houses got an upgrade
Small & Medium houses suffer as well due to limited interior item placement & storage
One thing SE doesn't prioritize is the housing fixes players have been asking for for years- it's something they drag their feet with & I'm certain they don't even participate in housing decoration which is why it hasn't changed ever. (I know interior item limits changed at one point but it was years ago)
If these changes do happen, it won't be for a long time sadly -
12-05-2021, 06:42 AMJojoyaIf you look at ratio of items to floor size, it would be more than fair to increase it for larges and not the other sizes. A large has roughly 6 times the floor space but only twice the item limit.Quote:

I could debate 400 is just enough for a large if they block off the top & bottom floor, that would be more than fair for everyone-> Can't give 1 house size an increase & not the others.
blocking off the bottom or top floors so you can utilize the items in every house size- that shouldn't be the norm
giving all houses an interior item increase is the real win - win situation -

It's been requested many times before but it's likely a problem that's difficult to solve. Each object type requires loading of the 3D asset, the texture files * plural for a reason* and additional information of said asset like if it's interactive, its loading priority etc... It's a lot of data to stream into video memory. To prevent memory overflow you use different culling techniques. This can alleviate the stress in the GPU's rendering pipeline to some degree. Unfortunately there's no telling how well their game engine works and how much information the GPU manufacturers will give them to help with this process. Usually there's no help to the developers because it's a "big secret". There aren't only limitations in video memory but also in how much data their servers may store and also stream to the players. They are always playing musical chairs with bits of data to maximize performance for everyone.
I'd love it if they could double or even triple the housing item limitations but right now until they get new servers and can have a break from the current chaos, I don't think we'll be seeing any changes. I love decorating houses and often times you can only use a single floor due to the item limits.
