Aaaaaaaand back on topic...
I too am rather disappointed with several aspects of the new housing space. I used to have the biggest house available, and all my stuff fit in there, and now it doesn't. The reason for this is the forced grid that the furniture is going into is too loose. These are my issues:
> I had a bunch of floor cabinets for a kitchenette, and they don't line up like one counter any more. Each cabinet has room around it making my counter-top look even less like it is one piece. I could understand the outlines of individual items getting in the way of the look in the old system, but at least everything was tightly placed and looked like it belonged together.
> I have several doors, and only the basic door lines up on the wall properly. The bottom of the other doors either look like they are floating up on the wall or the door is free-standing on the floor a few inches from the wall.
> There seem to be weird layering glitches with furniture placement. I have some bookcases, that I was going to put a small distance behind some chairs. The interface would not let me put them back there until I moved the chairs away from the wall, and only then could I put them on the wall where I wanted them, and put the chairs back where they were. There clearly was enough room for them, because they let me put the chairs back in the same places, but the system refused to accept the command. There also were some intermittent layering glitches with putting items on tables. Several times they ended up looking like they were behind the table instead of on it. Moving the table before placing again fixed it in some cases.
