The "40 interactive furnishings" softcap doesn't appear to be prioritizing correctly.

I was really hoping that this would be fixed when they increased the item limits in our houses. 40 is such a small number when you consider just how many items have some sort of interaction.

Well.. the 40 item limit would be less restricting if it functioned as described. If you have 60 interactive items in your house and the 40 closest to your character are rendering, chances are decent you won't notice the 20 interactive items that aren't rendering (because barring some crazy setup they'll probably be elsewhere in your home and out of sight anyway).

That's how it's supposed to work, but it's not. I can't describe the actual behavior as random because it seems to consistently pick the same items in my house to drop from view, but it's definitely not choosing them on the basis of what's furthest away from my character.

I just wanted to update this thread and mention that as of the most recent update this is still broken.

Have you submitted a bug report? If not, make sure to use the template (just put n/a for anything that doesn't pertain to the issue) or they're likely to toss it in the insufficient information forum (aka trash bin).

How do we get the attention of a Community Rep to let us know if this bug is being looked at?

I just crafted 5 Great Gubal Floor Lamps today to give my house a little change, since I have a library in my basement. And I was sick of all those glade floor lamps everywhere.

I knew about the 40 items limit and some items, mostly food, disappeared already in my house.

But now I placed my very first Great Gubal lamp... and it was gone even before I could turn it. And at that point my character was just standing in front of a plain wall with NO interactive items in my view. I was really angry about this, considered how expensive/rare the materials for that lamp are.
I will write a bug report myself too. I really don't get why SE keeps adding more cool stuff like the picture frames, flower vases, flower planters... yes and even the food. And it's all interactive. Should I fill my house only with chairs and tables or what? So I think only retainer bell, armoire, aquarium and all that stuff should be really interactive. Maybe some fancy toy as well.

We really need an interactive/noninteractive toggle...as others have said, I didn't put that food out for the buff. I have better food to use.

The items that get culled in my house are three paintings, one on the main floor and 2 upstairs. They only appear when I'm right up next to them. You would think that maybe the showerhead in the basement or some of the vases would get culled so I could see those, but nope. It's only those 3 paintings, too.

My bug report actually got answered this time but they just said they don't understand what furniture I'm having an issue with and I should resubmit it again with more details. Unless they don't understand what "interactable" what means (how could they be that uninformed?), I'm not sure how I can make it more clear that it's NOT just 1 specific piece of furniture, it just seems like they skimmed it without reading my explanation :/

reproduce the bug and take screenshots of it? do that with every item that disappears and add it to the bug report?

[Gyson]

With the new interactive wall furnishings and the number of people trying to use them, this bug is becoming all the more obvious. It's difficult to believe the developers can't reproduce the problem as it's pretty impossible to avoid once you go over the 40 item limit.
