Another "we need more furnishing capacity" thread

CountonMe · December 2022

I've seen a couple of these threads but I decided to start a new one. We need to increase the furnishing capacity at least by the same rate as inflation. We get new craftable sets with each expansion, that means that it we maintain a guild hall, we would have to remove items to make room for the new tables. I read the DEVS response saying that they limit capacity due to "performance issues", but, what is causing performance issues? The animated furnishings? If that's the case, maybe they can have separate capacities for animated furnishings and non-animated furnishings. Then they can increase the capacity for "rocks" without affecting performance.

Another here's the stickied thread with the latest answer/explanation for housing limitations, answer: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/512076/february-2020-furnishing-limit-status-update

While that's from 2020, it's also still supported by a fairly recent interview in April by Rich Lambert as posted here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/602488/requesting-official-zos-update-on-house-furnishing-limits-answered/p1

And for the most recent comment I'm aware of, here's the Deep Dive into Housing from Sept. The interview doesn't delve into the technical limitations much, but it does allude to the more complex nature of furnishings vs scenery: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/62789

I don't expect you'll like the answers, but there's the explanations we've gotten.
