Hi guys,

I really enjoy putting stuff in my house and I've been spending quite a bit of time over the last few months trying to make it all fit, and especially in the last few days after the house upgrade. Here's a list of things I noticed:

________________________________________________________________
Items without categories set

It is awesome to be able to browse the store or your inventory by category. Unfortunately, for a lot of items the categories are not set at all, or incomplete. For example, I think tiles should be in "flooring", a lot of plants are not in "plants", the "tables" section won't show the crate, the evergreen table or card table, etc...

As time progresses and more items get added to the game, I think categories will become more and more useful.

________________________________________________________________
Categories don't work in inventory

At least for me. In the inventory, my category tab is greyed out / not functional.

________________________________________________________________
Tables that don't work as tables

I can't place any items of the coffee table or the end table.
The nightstand works as a table, and if I rotate it it actually uses the same graphics as the end table. But I keep forgetting and buying end tables and find myself unable to actually use them.

________________________________________________________________
Floor items that are incompatible with flooring

items that go on the floor, such as the bear furs and rugs, cannot be placed ontop of carpet or tiles - that means that I can use either carpet in my house OR place my furs and rugs.

Welcome mats CAN be placed on top of tiles/carpet, but will be displayed in the same plane, i.e. it is down to luck whether the carpet or the tiles will be at the bottom.

________________________________________________________________
Items that aren't aligned with the edges of the floor squares they cover

A little more difficult to explain, so I will use an example: My oven is currently rotated so it faces to the right, as I wanted to place it next to my left wall. The two possible placements next to the wall are 1. quite a way away from the wall or 2. overlapping with the wall.
(Most items are aligned perfectly and can be placed next to the side walls without any issues.)
