Housing Interior Size Upgrade

[Khryseis_Astra]

What I really, really want is to do away with the interior size = specific item limit restriction. It's basically forcing everyone to move into larges if they want the most slots, which is a waste of the other house layouts.

I don't want to move to a large, because then I'd spend tons of slots hand-crafting a layout to mimic my medium's. Aren't they all the same instance, in the end? They just change the space we can physically inhabit, but the item limit restriction feels useless considering we can choose any layout we want at any time (theoretically, since it's not released yet. But let's go with that theory that there's no limit to changing your interior's layout)

It seems like that’s probably the biggest reason for the hold up of both the increase and the interior size remodel, because they have to accommodate for the fact that everyone might decide to make their interior a large in an entire ward or something!

It would be nice to have a flat rate, now that size remodel is going to be a thing. But I’m definitely not upgrading size just to get more items, unless they start making new interior layouts eventually and I like one of them enough to justify switching. At most, all I’d really want is a small layout as-is, just add an attic, or let personals create as many additional rooms as gil allows. lol

Now the other question is: are outdoor limits tied to the plot size or the interior size if you upgrade? My assumption would be plot size, since they already seem to be worried this is going to be a strain.

Yeah, I'm not upgrading either at this point in time. I like my medium, and I don't really want to tardis it. I just want enough slots to finish filling it out with a few left over so I can do seasonal decorations without removing slots. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure 150 more slots will be enough. I may have to do some re-designing if that's all we're getting.

Maybe I'll get lucky and they come out with an interior layout that I like even more than my current one and I'll have to redecorate anyway! XD

Same! To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I'd do with all the space a Large interior offers!

The sad thing for me it's that it's only logical to do so if the item slot limit is tied to your layout. We won't really see any layouts except larges being used unless someone is actively deciding to get a "worse" house for one reason or another. I also won't change my layout because I like the spot where the stairs are in my medium, and in my design I don't need such high ceilings as a large has. But I burn with envy thinking of those nice 600 slots they will get! That's so much clutter I could place around my house! haha

It wouldn't make sense to tie garden slots to your interior, no. You will likely only be able to upgrade by moving to a bigger plot. They're two separate things with separate storage.


That is why we should push for a flat item slot rate now!

Sort of off topic but sort of related...

Does anyone have some screenshots they can share of the modern/sleek interior of a large? Preferably unfurnished. I primarly want to see what the stairs look like

Thank you!

I'm so sad that they've postponed this until 2026. Who knows when we'll finally get it.

Yoshida said the following in the 7.4 Part 1 live letter on 31/10 -

Yoshida: Right now I'm seeing everyone from Housing side feeling jealous here, but we are currently entering the final stage of the optimization push to increase the placement limit for for the addition of slots for outdoor furnishings and indoor furniture....I'm so sorry that it ended up taking that much time, and I'm very sure we can get it done by Patch 7.5. I'm confident that we are able to increase the outdoor furnishing/indoor furnishing placement amount by around 1.5x, and we're currently entering the final stage of optimizations. Currently we're focusing on the speeding up the servers, and that's what we are doing right now.

So if we go by the 19-20 week patch length we've been having, say 21-22 weeks because of Christmas and new year.


Patch 7.4 is due on 16th December 2025.


20 weeks from 16th December 2025 is 5th May 2026

So 7.5 will probably have a release window of 5th - 19th May 2026.

If if if.

"I am very sure we can get it done" => Maybe we can do it, maybe not

Idk I stopped looking forward to anything. This game is way too slow in every aspect.
