Culling in our houses

[Spirlia]

Why is this a thing? I get that with the upgraded housing space they might need to cull items to keep a consistent framerate, but the most ridiculous things are being culled. In our brand new large house, our partitions are being culled. That is the single most important thing that should not be disappearing, because it is what provides the house structure.

I get maybe culling some smaller items, or things on a different floor , but partitions being culled really breaks the immersion.

Edit: Keep in mind that right now we are nowhere near the cap for a large house. At the time of this posting, we have 256/400 items.

P.S. Other important features get culled too, like our fish tank. Take a look at how bad this is.

It's the interactive items doing it. After about 40 interactive items (like those new blank partitions, lamps that turn on/off, food, etc) the disappearing starts. Don't know why, but it was in the 4.0 patch notes and has been an issue from the start of housing. You'll have to remove interactive items until they stop disappearing.

Thanks for the tip! We're running around trying to get under 40, but the blank partitions are a huge problem. When they made them intractable, they should have changed the limit.

They really shouldn't have made them interactive to begin with. They should have made a special "wallpaper" menu choice like they do for painting furniture and then either utilize paper that matches floor X, allow you to use separate wallpaper, or just let us learn fixtures so they don't get destroyed (choose'em via dropdown/scroll).
