i completely and whole-heartedly agree. I understand the need for warnings on decorations as it could cause lag or rendering issues (especially for older devices), but with all the new land given (thank you) and new items, it is time to at least raise the cap to at least 10,000-15,000 rather than the current 7500.

You're at the limit? Which is what, 7500 now? Because I've been playing for years and my town is well decorated, and I'm still below 6500. But i also don't have surplus redundant items laying around, like many people do. I don't buy 30 of something new and just line them all up in a block. I also don't over garden. Some people shove massive amounts of flowers everywhere. It's just not realistic. I'd like to see your town. Maybe you send me a friend request?Anyone else hitting that limit where you think you need the ceiling raised, you're welcome to send one too. Because the few neighbors i have, who ARE above 7000 and actually close or at the limit, are indeed crushing my device. Their towns take longer to load and are very sluggish to navigate. Those towns also have more graphics and scrolling issues when i visit, which tells me the limit is appropriate for today's standards of mobile tech. If they had more than the limit, i suspect the game would become unplayable and you'd have to force quit out of their town, then decide if you should drop them as a neighbor, which would be much more annoying.So I'd like to see who really needs their limit raised, vs who is just all anxious over irrelevant warning messages. If you're above 7k, i bet your town is sluggish too. Don't shoot yourself in the foot, putting in so many decorations that no one wants to be your neighbor.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot, putting in so many decorations that no one wants to be your neighbor.here is my town, you can judge for yourself if I over decorate (I wouldn't want to crash your town, but if you want me as a neighbor, feel free to send a request). I do not have any items stacked in a corner just to raise my multiplier or for any other reason. I do think it should be reasonable to be able to display every building (which I have done)BTW, whether playing on my iPad Mini 2 or my iPhone 6 Plus, I do not have any lag. I am currently at 7400 items and have hit the limit at least 6 times in the last month, having to replace trees and other decos with water/riversFull Sizehttp://i.imgur.com/lomk80u.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/lomk80u.jpg

I have hit the limit, removed about 100 or so items, continued playing and hit the limit again. I then removed 100 or so items again, trees, shrubs, little items I would not notice. Unfortunately I will have to do this again sometime soon as I build the monorail track.It would be nice if it was increased.By the way, great town Brett.

And what's this "lag" everyone is talking about? I'm at the max decos and I have no issues to speak of. Play exclusively on and iPhone 6 with absolutely no problems. No rendering issues, no excessive load times. Occasional graphical glitches have been a part of this game for as long as I can remember, but do not hinder actual game play. I don't even recall the last time the app crashed.

I find this statement amusing because you're basically saying "I play on a top of the line phone with a great network, why aren't the rest of you playing on a $500 phone?" It's a little like yelling at homeless people to get a job from your stretch limo as you drive by lighting your cigar with a freshly minted bill. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree! I haven't hit the limit yet, but I won't be happy when I do.

I must be close...

I've been compared to many things over my life, but never a rich dude berating homeless folks. Out of all the that I've said in this thread, I'm happy that particular statement is the one you chose spotlight and derive amusement from. :wink:

Now if you'll excuse me, I don't like to keep my driver waiting . . .

If EA can't/won't increase the limit, how about releasing "extra large shrubs" - extending the size of the regular shrubs. Extended fence panels? Double-length walls? Instead of 1 x 2, give us options for 1 x 4, 1 x 8, etc.

This. A million times, this. There are many 1x1 items that could benefit from this solution, especially the small flowers, shrubs, walls, and fences. They could even clump trees into larger blocks for those who like forests. Considering they could do this by reusing existing graphics it seems like a trivially easy way to improve the situation without affecting the limit.

Its a while since I posted this..... when I used to play Zoo tycoon, some of the maps were either small or strange shaped. Some of the scenarios deliberately required you to raise visitor happiness or display large numbers of animals either in a small space or with very little money. Surely this is the challenge....to work with what you have??? I moan about deco limits too but only because I choose to try to create pictures using items which can mean an 80 x 80 square with an item in every single one. A TSTO master of this type of art (Indy2nd) taught me not to create pictures in the landing zone in case it crashed neighbours on visiting. Those of us that choose to exploit the item limits can never have a high enough limit since if it is raised there will be a flurry of fresh builds until the warning starts up again! I think the limit should reflect any new land releases, and that it should be based on squares covered rather than numbers of items, but I also understand why this is not the case. Treat the deco limit like a challenge:-)

One thing they could do is allow multiplier items to be stored without removing the factor (like SH stuff can be stored without removing its worth)....in my case this would allow loads of things like small nukes and giant balloons to go.

Another option which would be less popular would be to zone the playing area so that only one of a number of zones is loaded at a time... so crossing a zone border would be like taking the bus to KL....
