I love the large places because the large ones I have are generally crafted well, and hold the promise of being able to do so much with so much land, but yes my favorites are certainly the small ones as I can easily deco them. My favorite place is still the Vigilarium, as it is real small, yet i put a kitchen and bedroom, an office and piano in it. Small and cozy then the micro game of stuffing 100 items in that small space become a challenge. I do remember the time when we had 50 items and 2 actives. WOW, those were trying times.

The Luxury week-end lake house was one of the first personal place I bought. (After the Novus quarters, of course )

I wanted a pool table, poker, music, maybe a brimstone dancer or two… I quickly discovered the “2 active items limit” (It was in 2011).
Needless to I ran out of items before the place remotly look full! lol

I finally got it to where it was good enough for me. Still one or two area almost empty but it worked. Still having two active items the switch from 50 to 100 didn’t help me that much at the time.
Recently I change the pool table for the Game Mechanics horse race. that gave me a few more slots.

After that, size was one thing I made sure to look at before buying.

You just made my point. When we had only 50 pieces to work with many of our spaces looked empty when they were over-large. Now we have come full circle and it is the same even though we now can use 100 pieces.
I too love the Dream Yacht and though it was a challenge to decorate I feel satisfied with the results. But some of the spaces we have been given are much larger than the yacht, and I won’t purchase them simply because they are impossible to fill properly. I feel that leaving entire areas virtually empty is not a solution. Two hundred items would be nice, but with Home’s memory restrictions, I doubt it will ever happen.

I see the big spaces as a interesting challenge to one’s mind. I can agree to a level on how most large personal spaces are over the size of the furniture cap (City By the Bay, a BEAUTIFUL space, is a big big example) but it also depends on the design as well. I’ve managed to fill my Dream Yacht with 98 furniture slots, with almost every nook and cranny decorated.

The Silicon Lounge is different. I rarely go there, though I love it. In fact, too much but it holds no inspiration for me to ever decor that space due to the size.

I’m down for the large spaces on Home. Nothing is better than to walk around in a large space to give me something to do, but I also would like the limit on the furniture placement to be 200. By then, it’ll justify my purchases of these incredibly detailed abodes.

I have the same issue at times. Back in the day, it was easy to fill Harbor Studio up. The first largest for me, when we had the 50 limit was the Nebula space.
Now it’s a decor dream.
Here’s a challenge for you. Make your own, using the stage in Loot Back stage studio. Yes only use the stage. I made a place there to show, the Diamond package. It included walls to divide the spaces. Granted it was only a 1br 1 ba, with a good size living area.
