I’ve had the same issue. It seems to be random for me. Sometimes I can decorate with no issues other times it crashes as soon as I open the decoration panel. another time it was when I picked up an item to move it. But its not consistent for me.
For me what seems to be happening is when I try and select the furniture the game freezes. Sometimes it freezes for 2 or 3 seconds but other times it freezes for much longer. Sometimes it is able to recover and other times it get to the point where I get an alert saying that the game is not responding.

Same here on Ohonoo. Trying to place cherry bunk beds in my windsward T4 house. I can barely even do anything. Anything I click on when trying to decorate almost instantly locks up the interface. Even when it does recover (assuming it doesn’t crash) I can’t do much in game.
Just opening the decoration menu nearly kills my machine. Running 1440 w/ 3070.

Same issue… sometimes can put 1 item in the house fine… after that…it’s a crapshoot whether the game will just freeze or completely crash.
Same thing here! I noticed a bug too and got a screenshot. As I enter the house, and open the decoration menu, the house says I have placed 109/205 items (top right of the screenshot) when in fact, I have placed 0 items, as I just bought the house.
I have loaded multiple times and house works fine until decoration screen.
Another note, when I am OUTSIDE the house, in the courtyard, I can place everything completely fine! I placed my dog and a few random items OUTSIDE, and no issues. Went inside, and opened decoration menu, crashed immediately.
Another note - when the game has just frozen for 10 seconds and came back, the counter in the top right will drop down to 0, and back up to 209 really quickly as soon as the game unfreezes. Then shortly after it will freeze again. So looks like it is definitely an issue with that count / tracker, or something with the game thinking things should be loaded into the house’s space when it finds less then what is in that count.
More testing. I figured out, that I can also place items inside where I can see from outside. So I look through the door, and can place inside no problem. Then, I tried to see if I open the decoration menu outside the house, and then walk into the house while placing an item, and the issue does not immediately occur. However, once I place that item inside, and my player is physically inside the house, a few seconds after placing the count goes back up to the incorrect one, and the game freezes.
Also get this, it kicks in after a few sceonds after you open the menu, once you place something and wait it can be minutes before its back again.
I smell really bad code thats doing loops through all the possible furnature items, or looping and testing placement of the item every frame.

Check out the method / workaround I found above. Do those work for you? Annoying I dropped so much on a house and can’t even use it lol.
