    Issues with Tidal Wavesoul Fount....

    I've noticed that unless I am really, really close to my house, I can't see my Tidal Wavesoul Fount in my yard. It just looks like I have nothing there. All the other houses that have this same fount, I am able to see from pretty far away, except for mine. What could be causing this? Everything else in my yard loads on my screen from just about any distance, except this fount. Does anyone know if there's a way to fix this, or could it be that it's only occurring on my screen and no one else's? Thanks in Advance...

    I've noticed this with other furnishings as well. It's particularly bad with partial effects, such as flames. The draw distance for outdoor furnishings is extremely low compared to the rest of the game.

    I assume this has to do with the fact that furnishings are a temporary, movable asset, and that requires more resources to display. If that's the case, it's understandable, but it would be really nice if they could get a slight boost. I would really like to be able to see the fire on my torches in the back of my yard from my gate.

    Well the problem is that everyone else's Tidal Fount displays from pretty far away, except mine. I could understand if everyone else's fount behaved the same way, but that's just not the case. Again, this is the Tidal Wavesoul Fount with the blue aura surrounding it.

    Could be a that the game thinks something else in the yard eclipses the fount. Try to reposition it and/or other items near it. Resources could also affect this : if items with a lot of geometry/textures are in the same frame, the game might have to prioritize what to display. If 'everything else in the yard' means that you have a lot of items and some with particle effects, this could be the cause. You could remove few items and check if that makes a difference.
