Part of the problem is that small items take up the same 'space' as large ones. If you wish to add detail you can have problems.

Indeed!! I made the tiny Ebony flask room in to a home for my vampire, it was just starting to look nice, and would have looked very nice with some more tiny objects, then the limit hits very fast. And yes I have larger homes, but this was supposed to be a tiny vamp lair in the Ebony Flask inn - we need some more room for our imaginations, just a little

I don't think there are enough item slots for housing. BUT, having seen some of the things people are creating and building (from arenas to organ pianos), I think Zenimax is closer to the ideal item limit than a lot of people believe. Understand, this comes from an obsessive home decorator who loves coming up with new ways to use objects. But honestly, a giant arena should be its own domicile.

What I'm getting at is that some of you are essentially manufacturing new homes in addition to the one you all ready have to decorate. And do I think people should have what amounts to two homes on one piece of property? No, no I don't. If Zenimax was smart, they'd make a gladiator arena (since it's clearly popular) and let the players simply decorate it.

My exception to the item cap is Manor houses as the price absolutely demands more accommodation from Zenimax, otherwise the lots feel empty. This is the primary reason I chose Old Mistveil instead of Ebonheart Chateau. And this is a problem Zenimax will need to solve as people are quickly learning its not worth the investment - which means they're not making as much money as they could either.

In summary, ESO is an MMO first and a "building" game second. There are so many other games that do building better if that's what you're looking for! I know because I love those games too.

Zenimax,

1. It's fun to be creative. Raise the item cap by a small amount on medium/large property and by a large amount for manors.
2. The current selection of houses is really abysmal. There would be far fewer people using items to make things feel right if you'd offer a more diverse catalog.
3. If you'd expand more of the item catalog for housing people wouldn't need 30 objects to make something appear like it does elsewhere in game. Where are weapon racks and weapons? I could go on, but I won't.

Some large houses rival the manors

Yes, but you're also paying a fraction of the price. You should get what you pay for and right now, the Manor houses aren't worth it.

Doesn't even have to be a gladiator arena. They can even offer us what we can get now, minus the houses, at a cheaper price. So you would basically pay for the ground, not the house. I'd buy many of those if that were possible.
Or just a plain ground for building, with choices ranging from desert, forest, snow area, inside a volcano, ... and in small and large size.

I'd like an option to pay for space WITHOUT needing the subscription*.

I find that this should be an option, like the horses, like, you can buy for 1 extra slot for each house every 20 hours. ESO+'s have double space and that doesn't seem to cause many performance issues (AFAIK), so what is an extra 100 per house going to matter? It may not be enough, but many people would be happy with any extra space they can get. And hey, you can milk out more money with Housing Upgrades in the Crown store.

No, no, no and NO!

One extra slot a day would be too painfully slow for words. It would be: 'oh goody, I can put another fork on the table today, how exciting!'. Don't give @ZOS daft ideas like that....those are the most likely ones they'll pick up on. /facepalm.

The option to buy extra item space in a Housing Upgrade section of Crown Store is a more acceptable one, although those would need to be for at least 200 items each upgrade, preferably more. And if you do that, please @ZOS don't promptly whack a massive price on them just because you know how desperate house owners are to furnish their places properly.

The best and fairest course of action all round would be for @ZOS to simply double the cap for everyone in the first instance, and then have Housing Upgrades available to those of us who need even more space. I'm sure even with an initial free double cap raise, there would be enough who will buy more upgrades to ensure @ZOS's continued financial success.

They spent all that time developing and promoting Homestead and then gimped the item limit.

Almost six months later and it's sill the same.

I don't think anyone is surprised though, tbh.

I believe that most people will agree with an increase in slots , especially for large and Notable home.

I know that technically they are limited due to number of potential players coming in a home, dueling and using their spells, thus creating lot to load for the servers. But maybe some players could choose between disabling duels to have decorating slot increased. That could be a good compromise.

This ^

MORE PLEASE!

At the current rate it's just SAD...

And Frustrating

I have room to place all the furniture, but its the clutter and odds n' ends that make it look lived in. Its challenging in my medium sized home with 600. I should be 800-1000.

Whats sad is the notable homes that can cost $150. They are capped at 700. Realisticly, you can decorate half of it with that. Need to be about 1200-1500 items

You can decorate half of a manor or large house with 600-700 slots. That's enough for maybe 25% of the cave or island, if even that much.

What i don't get is why there is a collectible limit.

Why make 50+ busts/trophies available if i can't even put them all on display?

Just like the pet/mount limit which is 8, what is even the point of those limits.
