I think this house should definitely be 600. Its easily on par with Old Mistveil.
The feedback on the PTS Housing Feedback Forum has been very consistent and clear, people want this to be a 600 item house. Hopefully ZOS will listen

@Zypheran can you link me a post from the PTS forum dealing with Lucky Cat? I haven't seen one. Thank you!

400 ? 600 ? Where do you get those values ? Come down to the ground man, it is only for ESO+...

I say either increase the item limit or make it available for gold.

YES! But I didn't vote because the option I would pick is: It's the same size as Velothi Reverie, but it should still have 600 slots.

My spouse measured Lucky Cat, Velothi Reverie, and Alinor Crest. What he found is that Lucky Cat is just slightly larger than Velothi Reverie and significantly smaller than Alinor Crest.

This home is definitely difficult to decorate at 400 slots - as is Velothi Reverie and Ald Velothi (two homes that I have spent a good deal of time decorating and am always running into the item cap). That's the problem with ZOS' categories. There are medium homes, such as Cliffshade, which can be decorated rather easily within the item limit. But that house is in the mid-tier range of medium homes. Those on the upper end (esp. Lucky Cat) struggle, as do homes on the upper end of the large house category (Amaya, Hunding's).

I think it's actually hindering the argument for a 600 slot allowance by claiming that the house is larger than it actually is, because ZOS knows how large the house actually is. Rather, talk about the difficulty of furnishing it at the upper limit of the medium house size and that as a CS-only home, it should be at least 600 slots (as should, I think, Frostvault). They did this with the Snow Globe home, which I think may be larger than Lucky Cat (esp. the outdoor area), but it got 600 slots with a medium house price point. They could easily do the same with Lucky Cat - and I think they should. But not on the basis that it's as large as Alinor (which it's not). But because a house of that size is really pushing it for a medium classed home, and being CS-only, it should have more breathing room for players' creativity, since real money is being spent.

I think it was Elara (or someone else in the PTS housing thread) that suggested adding an additional item limit category of 250/500. I think this would be a good compromise, IF ZOS is completely unwilling to give Lucky Cat 600 slots. Have a special category for CS-only medium homes that would give us 500 slots. But, 600 would be better. I think ZOS did a good job of offering a variety of homes in various sizes and price points, but then was quite rigid in terms of item slot count.

I suspect given that this feedback has received 0 acknowledgment in either patch notes or forums, that it will not be changed.
Pity, this home would have gotten my crowns in an eyeblink had it been 600.
Kinda makes you wonder what's the point of the Official Housing Feedback thread on PTS forums.
I hope I am wrong on this but past experience tells me that, with the exception of minor bugs, they won't make changes to a house after it hits the PTS

Which makes me wonder what the point of them asking for feedback is because I have noticed exactly the same thing.

Another solution for this and other similarly mismatched item limits would be for ZOS to allow us buy more slots for homes under the 700 slot limit
It's a no-brainer. I'd happily pay crowns to upgrade my small and medium homes. They could sell the upgrades in 'lots' of 100 items

I agree that would be awesome and a win-win all around!

Agreed it would be useful to know why our pleading to have this be a 600 slot house was ignored. Just some explanation really.

Maybe a dragon ate all the extra slots? :P

increase furnishing slots on all houses tbh

Agreed

I’m so sad that the pleas on the forums and YouTube were ignored. The fact that ZOS ignoring furnishers feedback (Specifically this feedback) is cited by @Elara_Northwind in her leaving video is very disappointing. Ignoring people that keep the housing community going and support up and coming decorators and new players is not on. And that you still haven’t even commented on why is even worse. This wasn’t a request to make the slots over 700, merely to reclassify it so it was comparable to existing houses.

Very disappointing

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Well I am disappointed but unsurprised. The lack of regard or respect ZOS continues to show their players, especially those of us who are housing enthusiasts and shell out LARGE chunks of actual money to pursue our hobby, is extraordinarily disheartening.

@MornaBaine I must agree. I did find the whole response to the feedback on this particular issue very disheartening. I don't know why. Its not like ZOS ever really listened to housing issues before but I just felt that the feedback on this one was so strong and consistent. It's not like we were asking them to go back in and redesign it or to create a new furniture item. They literally just had to change a variable in the setting. They just flat out ignored it.
Not even a comment to say "we considered all of your feedback but felt yada-yada-yada..."
