Add sections to Lighting & Outdoors for Posts and Large Shade Structures & Fix Clutter

So, recently I just discovered that I have quite a few shade structures in my game and fancy outdoor lighting that I wasn't really aware of because they are buried deep in different sections of Decorations.

Shade Structures
Currently these outdoor shade structures are buried in two categories in Decorations. It makes it difficult to find, because they have different keywords. Please create a section in Outdoors for them to make it easier to find and be able to use them in builds.

Outdoor Lighting
Add the light posts to the Lighting Section. Presently, you have to dig through statues and misc decorations to find them, I would never go to those sections to find lighting. I didn't realize many of them existed until one day I just explored some lots and tried to figure where those items were located.

Actually, while we are here, can we also reorganize room specific clutter too?
The only room you select where the clutter is related to that room is the bathroom. The Kitchen and Dining Rooms both display 19 rows of clutter. And the Clutter on the Kid's Room desk displays 9 rows of clutter. Most of the clutter is not related to those rooms.

The Decorations section of the game can use a major overhaul. The programmers give items fun names and descriptions, but it makes it very hard to find an item when you search for it. However, if the items are organized into better sections it makes it easier to find them. Perhaps the Decorations section can be split into two sections to make it easier, since it seems like quite a bit of the build items are located in this section.

Thanks

    I have been saying this for an age. How about a China Hutch icon in the dining section. Seemed like a no brainer to me. I would have moved the bar (Bar stools, bottle cabinets, etc.) to a Game Room Tab and put Game tables, Pool table, dartboards there as well.

    • Bedroom
    • Laundry Room
    • Kids Room
    • Living Room
    • Exercise Room
    • Office
    • Dining Room

    I'd make the Statue Icon under decor just statues
  • Definitely! I feel like I often stumble across something I’ve never seen before just because it’s in a very odd category. I’d also like them to rearrange the bar decor like the wall-hanging bottle cabinets/racks—I can never remember where to find them.
  • Duh on my part - the light posts are included in lighting in the outdoor lights section
