    Housing Draw Distance?

    So I took a distant shot of my FC house, posted it our Discord and the GM said "who stole our furniture?" Yes I know any outside furniture can disappear as you add some distance from the house, but I find it happens REALLY quickly.

    I wonder of there isn't some graphic setting I could temporarily use (my bet is anything to help would have a negative effect on game play, I only want to use something while taking the shot)?

    Menu > System > System Configuration > . . . (Other settings) > Display Limits > Character and Object Quantity > Set to "Maximum".

    It seems unusual that you'd have that problem. I can see the outdoor furnishings at my house from a fair distance away. Are you using a PC with older graphics card?

    The only other thing that I can think of that may be affecting the Furnishing display at a distance is the LOD option and Occlusion Culling.

    Both of these settings are in the System Configuration menu, under the Graphics settings tab.
    Make sure the LOD setting (Low-detail models) is set to off (uncheck it).
    And set Occlusion Culling to off by unchecking it, this option here is probably the one making the furnishing pop in/out moving the camera.

    I would test one at a time and both to see if it helps.

    I'll try that... to be fair I was using something that gets me farther back than standard, BUT the stuff disappeared before I think that kicked in. Yeah I have what many consider an older GPU, GTX980. While it can fall behind occasionally, it's 60fps & higher most of the time. I'll try those next time I log in... thanks for the suggestion.
