Collectibles cases (+cloning machine!)
The side effect of having a bunch of crystals, statues, ores, holiday eggs, gnomes, fossils, aliens, frogs, space rocks, and more is that having them all in lot causes game lag! Even storing them in household inventory causes lag(because the GUI has to handle too much but that's an issue for another time...). Laying them all out takes up tons of room too.
So why not have dedicated display cases? Code side they won't be a combination of items(collectible+case) once full instead it would be a different and single all-in-one model. Taking it a bit further cases could be upgraded with cloning machines from the get to work pack so they can become dispensers too!
Things like plants and fish get a bit more complicated since there is a quality level and those cases would only accept top quality.
