[Fixed] New Houses - Room Decorations Placement Change

I noticed that the large, floor, room decorations can now only be placed in the middle and foreground of your house. Before I was able to have these decorations in the background (against the back wall) as well. Please change this back, I liked being able to place items against the wall. :(

Before screen cap - see the plant in the far right corner?
After screen cap - the plant is now forward quite a bit and can't be placed any further back. (ignore the mess, I was in the middle of decorating)

  • Trying to redecorate just now and noticed this  as well.  Is this a bug or a change? I'd like to place decorations against the back wall again.

  • Yup, I'll add my two currants here too. Had some lovely alakol willow against the wall, now one of them is in the middle of the room, and the other is still where it was (since I didn't want that one in the middle of the room too). Unfortunately now the whole room looks unbalanced =)

  • Is this going to be fixed? I really don't want my plants or statue in the middle of the floor. Even the screen I like having against the wall. These items are useless to me if I can't place them where I want them.

  • Yes, I really like both the wall screens and the plants in planters up against the back wall.  Pretty Please, can we have this back? I am terrified I will accidentally move one of my decorations and won't be able to put it back.

  • This was intentional change to offset the way some decorations interacted with each other and caused some float-y effects. There's more work to be done with this to make them work better and again allow placing at the back.

  • Thanks for the update, kevbob. I do have one more question (or maybe more of a request)-- once the work is done, could it be possible to have a small update about it in the change log? I imagine that many people like arcturus and Scarlett are afraid to accidentally move any of the things that can no longer be placed against their back wall around and an update would let us know when it's safe again to move them. :)
