Hello everyone,
I love designing Interiors. It remembers be good old days with the Sims (I got all the expansions and leeched Internet thru years to make with an objects archive of more than 1 Gb).
But on SWG I see a very big problem to me. As furniture is very limited in the game - all explorers might have found, like me, that all 'Furniture Sets' have the same components ( Table, Coffe Table, Chair, Sofa, Cabinet, Armoire, Library, Chest, etc) - some of them are not present on the game to be crafted, but just to be contempled. There are also a lot of paintings, woven rugs, new plants, and a lot of various items that will surely gave houses a nice appearence.
With the future 'Release 7' patch we will be able to move up/down objects, so we'll be able to decor not just rooms with stairs, we'll be able to decorate the whole house. Today just Medium and Big houses (and not all of them) can be 'dressed up'. Most people decide to make 'new' designs using craftable items to perform a new one (like bars, dossel beds, fish tanks, hot tubs, fireplaces, etc) but these 'designs' normally take a lot of objects to be make (I think that the largest is a nice Fireplace, even commented bysome developers, that should have more than 30 different objects!!).
It's impossible to decorate a house just as you want it to be because of the item's cap. Small houses only support 150 object, and that's nice for that size,I think, but Medium houses support just 150 also and he bigger ones 300. I have a Medium house and, after decoring some rooms (with less stuff that I really want to put) I made to the cap, even leaving some parts of my house totally undressed. I have nopacks with objects, just furniture and decor... and I cannot finish my house because I have reached the 150 limit!
It's just an idea but, it will be very nice if you correct the House's item cap or make the furniture count different (intead of count as 1 object each piece, count as just 0.5)
What do you think?
