Yup, item limit reached. My house looks like a mishmash of battle trophies, banners, and various statuary that's gone up for sale on the weekly merchant...

It looks like a museum.

I'm having to pack away plants and rocks just to place another earned item. 700/700 baby

I am eagerly awaiting the item limit increase too!

ZoS adds so many neat small items (look at all the urns, jewelry boxes, knick-knacks, tiny gears etc) and we just don't have the space in our homes:(

I know it is rare to get an actual ETA but could you maybe give us a hint?

I honestly would like to know how most of you are reaching item caps? Specifically, how are you finding enough recipes and enough mats to fill houses to max item?

We care for details, not just place bed and table. We do things like prepare 12 sets of platters and cups for whole guild meeting. Put food on the table, a pile of potatoes on grill, fill bookcases with actual readable books. Decorating bedroom? Extra pillows are a must.

Each item takes 1 item space. A tiny potato will take same number of spots as gigantic tree....

You really just have to have ESO+ to have a full house and it feels unfair to me.

Edit: I say this as somebody with ESO+

ESO+ does NOT give you a full house!!!!!

So manors only have 100 more spaces than larges?

The manors aren't much bigger than the largest large houses (if at all). They both need an increase to the cap.

The manors look like twice the size of every large house besides Hundings

Do you even have a house? Are you even interested in furnishing it?

Reaching item caps happens way too fast, and far before you have a home that you are happy with....as anyone who actually does have a passion for their houses will agree with.

Hmmm, maybe you aren't taking into account the huge number of items you can buy on guild traders and on Crown Store....it's not just about recipes and mats.

Yes, I own five houses. I refuse to buy housing items from the store. I have three toons, play 3-4 hours nightly. I don't have enough variety of recipes to fully decorate a house to my liking. I scour the guild stores from time to time, but the recipes I really want are far too expensive. Furthermore, the mat cost for many if not most recipes is far too high. They failed with making mats a farming fest, and they failed with putting "quality" tiers on recipes allowing price inflation just because it's a "epic" recipe.

Here's an example. I've been waiting to loot a Nord Divider recipe since housing launched. Do you think I've found one yet? Nope. Guild stores have them, but I don't want to pay the price they are asking. It's a DIVIDER for crying out loud. There thousands of recipes out there, yet why aren't they dropping? Why are common house furnishing recipes so rare?

Bottom line, housing is fun, laid back, and purely creative and enjoyable. Yet they treat it like end-game gear grind. There are several games who do housing better, ESO refused to learn from these games and instead made it a point to push people to their store.

Then make more money! The market is fine. Prices are set at what people are willing to pay. I bought most of my recipes and items during the first week of the homestead patch (I was paying 20k for green recipes, 50k blue, 100k purple; spent close to 2 million gold just on furniture). The prices are extremely reasonable right now. If you can't afford them, you need to do some reading on how to make money in this game (it's super easy).

You're probably right, I'm sure i could do better at making gold. If you have any resources you'd like to share, please do.

- Farm imperial mobs inside public dungeons (Razaak's Wheel, Vile Manse, and Crimson Cove)
- Farm weapons and gear inside public dungeons (Necropotence, Spriggans, Spinners); you also make money from killing the mobs in the dungeon while you wait for bosses to respawn (find a rotation of 3 bosses since loot drops go on cooldown when you kill more than that)
- Farm mats (download Harvest Map add-on, and follow steps to upload all nodes in Tamriel); you'll need farming gear (prisoner's, jailbreaker, drakstride, fiord, etc.) and a movement speed ability for this (rapid manuevers is fine if you don't play a stam character with your own gap closer/movement buff)
- Flip things (check guild stores for underpriced items and flip them at Master Merchant/TTC value)

For the last two options, you'll need to be in a trading guild. You can easily make ~1 million gold a week using any of these methods.

Just sub, you'll get more spots. Complain if you want, it won't help. Don't you all see at this point that they are driving you to sub if you want to really enjoy the game?

It IS possible to fill the large houses and manors with ESO+. You just have to pick larger over small items, don't place that many bottles and small items. I can say that, I furnished Mathiisen. Choose a focus on either interior or exterior decoration and be creative with larger items to fill those naked walls.

If you want to place many small items and details, get a smaller one of the large houses, like the nord manor next to Riften. That's the only purpose to pick those over the huge ones.

I have to admit that the decoration feels very restricted and the item calculations aren't always fun. I'd like to place more items, too, but the problem is that nobody would buy a second or third house, if he could realise all his visions in one single house. Housing doesn't have to become a money sink; it already is. I'm already planning on my third and fourth manor

I haven't actually bought a house yet but that's because I plan on having a house for each of my alts. And I don't know who is getting what, yet. So yes, I would buy more houses because each of my characters are different and thus would have different homes to suit them.
