Yup, incentive to get collectibles in your home is one of the main reasons to buy a house in game. I can understand gimping the amount on a free house, but any other house should have at least double what they do now.

Way to put a limit on FUN, Zenimax.

I don't know guys, it could be a performance thing as well (I'm talking in the biggest of houses, not the smaller ones). I have the Ebonheart Chateau. and I'm only halfway to the Item Limit (though I have Plus and apparently that doubles it).

And as it stands now, my game struggles to load the map upon entry. I have my 3 assistants and a couple pets scattered around, and one single mount out. And even still, there is loading issues, most of the times the Chateau remains empty for a good 20-30 seconds on my arrival, then everything finally spawns all at once.

Obviously if you only had collectibles, it wouldn't be an issue - but once you start adding furniture that has to be all loaded piece by piece, you gotta consider that's a burden on the system.

And take my word for it because I swear nothing is scarier than loading into my Chateau and hearing the noise of every single light, fire, and the Dolmen Anchors I have as decorations - all spawning 20 seconds after me with a load eruption noise. It's like a Pinion noise x100 with a secondary sound of the Red Mountain erupting over 10,000 screaming Dunmer.
