An object limiter is present in all console versions of The Sims as well as The Sims Social. The object limiter limits the number of objects that can be placed in a house, and warns the player if nearing the limit. Starting with The Sims 2, the game will compensate for going over the limit by setting one of the items in the house on fire (The Sims 2 Castaway). In The Urbz: Sims in the City, however, objects are not set on fire if the player goes over the limit. The object limiter was created so the lots don't take much time to load and the game can perform well on the console hardware.
