So, for anyone who has played this game for a significant amount of time, a real issue is approaching, and soon it's going to be a major problem in the game. There was a time when the decoration limit was only a problem for those who placed way too many decorations, too many trees, etc. But now we are at a place where even if you place the most minimal of decorations, with the amount of land offered and what has become a constant flow of events and mini events with almost zero break, there is so much new content that it has become almost impossible to place everything without deleting items from other events.An increase of 100 or so items each six months isn't going to cut it anymore. Something has to give. Either there has to be a drastic increase in the deco limit or items like walls and shrubs need to be counted in fourths or eighths rather than equaling a full sized deco. I have huge lakes in my SF, I would say a fourth of my town, and don't own all the available land and am very close to the deco limit.What should be done? Continue your Springfield in a new window? Shelbyville? Something has to give, soon.

I think it would be great to continue Springfield in a new area kinda of like KL where you use the bus to travel as long as you can still use money to get things and that way we can have another 10k limit.It going to get worse eventually for old generation phones and tablets.

Yes, I like this idea too. Maybe a subway to the new area, that would be just like SF, you can place all decorations and a new 10l limit.

I have to agree with you @bluntcard it's definitely becoming an issue with quite a few players, I know that I have a fair amount of trees and decorations but I wouldn't say excessive by any means but I'm only 500 from the limit and must admit that my designing around the more recent items from the last few events has been limited due to the approaching limit is definitely stifling my small amount of creativity.

I agree. I keep getting warnings about being over the limit even though they raised it. But 100 every blue moon is useless if mini events and major ones are constant like this like you say. In fact if they got rid of "nature" items as decoration like I mean placing a tree should not be part of the item cap limit. Nature items should have their own count or no count at all. Like you said 1 tree or bush counts like a building counts as 1. It's nonesense. It doesn't seem like they even plan on addressing this issue ever.....

Do you think it would be a little more "natural" if they split off SH for the new area? The tunnel could be the new shuttle bus. Maybe if they divided it like this, or in a similar way it would seem a little more natural. Just spitballing here. PS nice to see the little sheep back, @bluntcard

Decoration limit 2017, let's be real

For myself a few simple modifications to Krustyland would help massively, just convert the currency from ticket to game cash and then allow all items to be placed there would let me move loads of event items across to there massively reducing my item count and it would also bringnew llife into Krustyland as a bonus.

I honestly doubt that'd happen, you'd be able to place springfield essential items in Krustyland.. orrrr they'd have to hand pick every item ever made and a handful wouldn't be able to be placed there. I doubt they'd want to waste time doing that.

Said it before, will say again:
Shelbyville area (like Krustyland in the fact that it is a separate map, Like Springfield heights in the fact that items can be used freely between SH and SF)
This is what we need.
Thank you for your time.

This.

I was hoping with the space shuttle we could travel to the moon or another planet and place all the future buildings. That would free up some room for me.

Now that's just not realistic :D

I think we're reaching a "Decoration Limit" thread limit. :D

But seriously this sucks big time and needs to be addressed.

This has been an issue for quite a while now, but creating a separate map for a new portion of Springfield is a terrible idea. One of the biggest reasons KL failed was precisely because of that. Everyone was excited about it when it first came out but once it became a norm, people got tired of it and now you'd be hard pressed to find old players ever visiting it.

Personally, I think they should create long chain versions of commonly used decorations. A group of trees. 4 and 8 length fences, walls and hedges, etc. that would sagificantly increase the decoration limit.

Perhaps they need to re optimize the games graphics engine.

Long story short, splitting the map into two or starting shelbyville will only lead to another failure like KL.

I would be totally in for access to a separate map area and would happily pay for it as long as it used the same game mechanics (currency, inventory etc.). I currently have no problems with the item cap as I have little interest in putting non-springfield things in my town. I would love a separate place to design France, Vegas, old west…

This seems like it would be simple to me but I’m not a programmer so I could be very wrong.

To me, KL is a failure simply because you have to be interested in building an amusement park sim to care. That doesn’t interest me so I only visit occasionally to clear glitches in my game.

it's been said so many times - COUNT % FROM ITEMS IN STORAGE! ugh :(

otherwise, i've taken to deleting all my fences and trees a long time ago. i haven't hit the limit yet due to all the deletions, but i'm sure i'ts coming. my percent is 1,500%.
