Maintenance for the week of July 20:
• NA megaservers for patch maintenance – July 20, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 12:00PM EDT (16:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for patch maintenance – July 20, 8:00 UTC (4:00AM EDT) - 16:00 UTC (12:00PM EDT)
Animations have an impact on Furnishing Limits. I think every thing or most everything that moves is categorized as Special and has its own limits.
I know players on older consoles who put so much animated stuff out the game would just crash if they tried to load in everytime. Even just a tonne of basic lights could cause it.
