When in Buy Mode...

I find that it's easier to find what I'm looking for. c:

Function.

Pretty sure that’s how Buy Mode was in Sims 2 so I stuck with it since that’s what I was familiar with.

Also on a different subject I love the siggy, @emorrill. Porthos and Archer! My sister and I loved watching Enterprise when it was on :mrgreen:

depends what i'm doing or what i'm wanting. i mean for basic things, like if the house is empty and i'm building the basics room by room then sort by room. i'll put the fridge, counters etc all together.

but when it comes to decorating and more intricate building or thinking of ideas of how to spruce the place up a bit then i sort by function, because it's easier to say.. click wall lights instead of ceiling lights etc

This just works best for me.

I have an interesting system where I usually use sort by function, but when I go through to decorate each room, I leave the sort by function decoration tab open and use the sort by room categories if I need to add in chairs, etc, so the game doesn't have to keep loading different categories. Also, using sort by room for bathrooms and kitchens is way easier to find all the appliances, etc. you need.

Your poll needs another option. How I sort items depends entirely on what I'm doing and what I'm looking for.

Sort by function,been using it so long that "Sort by room" feels like learning a new language.So used to using the puppy paw symbol to buy my bird cages pet beds and stuff.

I use "Sort by function" but I have also used sort by room on occasion as well... :)

I should also add that sometimes if I can't find what I'm looking for in either tabs, then I take to using the collection folders if I know what EP the item came with... :)

Because buydebug. :tongue:

@emorrill I do all kinds of things so can't pick one or the other. I also make collections of things I use a lot so I use collection files as well. :)
