Some furnishings are purely decorative but many have a variety of functions including:


 * Recharging Energy
 * Increasing the Energy recharge of recharging items
 * Object actions (most cost energy but may provide XP and/or chance of Tokens)
 * Object social actions (a social action accessed by selecting the object; requires Sim of suitable relationship type, costs energy but provides Social points and possibly XP/Tokens)


 * Special family social actions - such as adopting/having baby or getting married
 * Unlocking actions for another object or increasing rewards from an existing action
 * Adding actions to Social Events & Hobby Events
 * Providing slots to place smaller items (eg. Kitchen Counter)

Some items can only be placed indoors or outdoors whilst others can be placed anywhere.

Item Limits
There is a limit on the number of items you can place at home. Currently, all furnishings count as 1 item for the limit, regardless of size or type.

There are separate limits for items placed indoors and outdoors. For furniture that is placed on the floor, this distinction is obvious. However, windows and doors are counted toward the indoor item limit when they are placed on an interior wall, and they do not count toward the outdoor item limit when placed on an exterior wall.
