Item limit
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 chris...
Forum Discussion
Note: I've inserted two screenshots to portray this issue.
Limitations:
There are some limitations in house designing that need to be reviewed and changed.
1) After purchasing all the new plants in surplus, I've added a front yard to my house, and designed a garden. Now, I am unable to refurbish the interior of my house with any items. I did not purchase all of these plants for a garden to only be unable in placing interior items.

Suggestions:
1) Not to overstep my boundaries, but I've been a supporter of this game, and like everyone else, we would love to see a change in increase in the house item limit.
2) Another suggestion: Sell useless items; Throw away useless items; Implement categorization
If it is not in near future development or is being planned for players to be able to sell house items we no longer favor, then can you give us the option to throw away these items? In case neither of these options are plausible, then may I suggest implementing categorization for housing items? Similar to the Store, developers can implement categories with titles that can be used to associate several distinct items. It is often frustrating for players to hassle through items which we are not looking for.
Thank you.
I hope everyone takes a look at everything above, and I look forward to seeing other players' opinions.
(Edit: changed title, took out IMPORTANT, as it might create confusion.)
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.
Thank you for taking a look at my post, Irisx0411!
The observations you made about the differences in plants use and home decor use, your affirmation in regards to Lifestyle not being involved with the item limits, your suggestions of the developers' activity, and your analysis about the plants were much needed.
I concur with your suggestions at the end of your response. These plants could very well be valued higher than items at the house. If so, then I question the developers: why beds, refrigerators, TVs, etc. are valued far less than plants?
Thank you for your insight, Irisx0411!
- Wow, I have not hit the cap yet, but it's annoying not to have any indication until you fail!
I wonder if there's some sort of simoleons/tickets/SimBux hierarchy involved, as IIRC the new plants are fully SimBux so maybe they are worth more than the interior furniture, mostly bought with simoleons and tickets? Just throwing out a WAG here lol.That's an interesting idea; but because these plants are only purchasable with tickets, then shouldn't their value in items be dismissed, or significantly lower?
I would argue that this would just be another constraint on an item that is only purchasable with tickets. Therefore, the item limit and the constraint set on these plants would only conflict people's desire in purchasing them.
I purchased them to have a beautiful garden, and now I can't even have a functioning house lol. As of now, I would say I wasted my tickets on these plants until the developers fix this issue.
- 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.

Thank you for sharing. I concur with everything you've said.
I've recently removed the majority of my plants to make room. Now, I have far less items placed inside than I did before. Unfortunately I already am reaching the item limit again while being able to have 10 rooms. This is ridiculous.
