I know this is a tired discussion, but EA, please make a sizable increase in the item count. I was fortunate to grab Golden Goose Realty, and even though available land will be an eventual issue, I still have plenty of space and would love to flesh out my town’s design and keep adding to it, which is impossible with the item cap. Plenty of us have been playing for a long time, I took several years off as well as spent plenty of money (and would continue to pay-to-play, within reason) but there’s pretty much no incentive given the mediocrity of the current game format, which leaves the only option for play as redesigning your town, and even that becomes impossible.I believe the last increase was during last year’s THOH event at 1,000 new items to bring it up to 13,000. At least increase it to 20,000 or higher so we don’t have to worry about it for a while and keep flesh out the empty spaces and keep designing.I know this is just another echo in the chamber, but seriously…

I've cleared off every app that runs in the background and slows my game. I've turned off anything that could be competing for resources. I just want to design my Springfield without unnecessary limitations. My device is keeping up because I've reprioritized it. Don't let the game itself be what limits my town's potential. Please increase the limit.Seriously, it's pretty much the only thing we've got left. Would love additional decorations and the like, maybe some new additions to the Mystery Box for some variety, but sort of pointless when there's no place to put them. Love that they're starting to allow for items on river tiles...but the same problem.

my iPad is so old that I am unable to update the OS or install some apps as a result. The device is in great condition, still runs TSTO but if I were to trade it in I might get $50. It's 8yrs old.If the game continues to grow, long-time players will come up against the item count. Playing within the restrictions is fine but the game will be ten years old in 5mths. Ten years worth of building and rebuilding with every event, every promo and every update will have put you up against the limit several times by now. It's reasonable to expect you have a newer device to the one you first started to play on. Tech moves quickly.Not suggesting anyone buys a device just to play the game, or should have to buy a new one just to carry on, but in the 8yrs i've been playing, I have updated my devices several times anyway. I am on my 4th phone, 3rd laptop, and actually do have another tablet anyway. It's not unreasonable to retire older generations of devices for the game to progress. Retire the gen my iPad is part of and give us the capacity for more items. 8yrs is a good run for a device. Mapple themselves have updated the device many times in that period.

EA please increase the limit ! Bump ;)

I've never once hit the item limit or had a pop up saying I'm close to it in nearly 10 years playing.

This can only mean you don't spend much time designing your town in great detail. Not everyone does, and that's ok. :)

But for those of us who do, it's very frustrating having to choose what to display.

For me, the entertainment value of this game comes from creating innovative designs with these unusual items they give us. Being unable to place new items, the fun vanishes.

I certainly don’t have many multiple items in my game .
I think there are almost as many items in my inventory , that’s how big it is !
I’m always very carefully when I’m decorating , always keeping in mind the fear of the item limit.
Decorating is one of my greatest pleasures in this game so an item increase would be
very welcome !
A carefree and happy tapping everyone !

Unless they decide to (once again) no longer support older tablets and phones, this can’t happen. My iPad Air is all but useless right now, trying to open my games leads to getting sent to the home screen. It started with the last event, this event has made it even worse. I even nuked my A town to see if that would help, not at all.

I was experimenting with the Castle/mountain glitch so I did nuke more than a few times. Even when the only things left are those that can’t be stored, I can’t open it on my tablet.
