How are we supposed to improve our lifestyle with such a small in house item limit? Its not possible to collect all hobby and work rewards and still have a functioning house. I just paid for the christmas pack and cant even fit any decorations in the house ☹️

I completely agree with you. I keep running into item limit problems as well. Sometimes, depending on what im placing, i will remove one thing to replace it with something new and it will let me put two new things down when i only just removed one item. Also, ive removed an item and the game still wouldnt let me place something new unless i just put back the item i just removed. It seems like some items count as more than one. Im level 32 and now that i cant hardly put anything else down in or outside my house im having a hard time improving my lifestyle. My house doesnt look overcrowded to me and when im able to add another room im not even going to be able to furnish it. I really hope EA will consider getting rid of the item limit or raising it drastically, please. That seems to be something all the players can agree on. Also, being able to sell your old furniture(possibly a consignment shop or flea market, or even let players have a yardsale as an event alternative to hosting a party). That would be awesome and benefit everyone: higher level players could get rid of the old to make room for new and make a few simoleans on the side. Plus new players could benefit by being able to buy more stuff at a cheaper rate and maybe just not boost your lifestyle points as much as a new item would. Just a few concerns and suggestions. Thanks for listening.Shinra

Could not agree more!!!1) I purchased 4 new plants and built a front yard as well! I currently placed only about 90+ furniture (including windows and doors), and 4 new plants. I have friends who have the exact same level and lifestyle with me but placed more than 100 furniture. BUT!!! They do not have any new plants! So new plants might be the reason!Also, you are absolutely right! Lifestyle does not involve in the item limit. I leveled up in lifestyle this morning to "Best Nester." It is a level of a new room. But the item limit did not change.I guess the developers are either designed the item limit logic in a bad way (e.g. each item should be counted as 1, but new plants are designed to be count as 5) or there are bugs in their code for those new plants! The developers definitely should increase the limit or decrease the weight of new plants (or fix the bugs)!2) If selling the useless item won't happen, having a more organized storage would help a lot.

I don’t care for this item limit, I log on, do quests and one of them is to buy something for my home, yet I have to move something into my inventory, then buy something I don’t even want, then put it directly into the already overwhelming inventory and get my original item out. Either get rid of the daily quest to buy more items for the home or the item limit. Having both is really contradictory to each other. 🤔🤨

Hi @badboybren,

Thanks for your feedback on this! I imagine you are aware you can save items in your inventory, right?

Would it be possible to get your player ID?: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Guide-How-to-find-your-player-ID-in-The-Sims-Mobile/td-p/6052511 It would be helpful for us to better understand how your house looks

Thanks again,

Possibility to remove the maximum number of items in the house limit, also we should get the ability to expand houses further into the empty space that is occupied by grass (it seems that there is currently no way of removing this grass and so it gets in the way of being able to make additional rooms).

Hi @yasfinite,

Thanks for your feedback on the object limit. Would it be possible to get your player ID so I can share it with the team?

Regarding grass - you should be able to remove grass when you get to certain lifestyle point level, a bit at a time. Could you try that?

Thanks again!
-Mai

, I've figured out the room expansion issue now, just had a derp moment sorry. I can indeed clear the grass now it seems but the item limit is still the bane of my Sim's existence... As well as the inability to delete an accidentally created Sim. Am I correct in thinking that there is no way to remove Sim(s) from a household or to atleast reset generations?
