Inventory / Purchase System Overhaul

This game really needs the inventory and purchase systems overhauled.  The current system has been cobbled together via many patches, expansions, and add-ons, probably by different teams, and it needs to be streamlined and thought through better.  I am envisioning tabs across the top with different categories of items, and perhaps a row of subtabs, being able to type numbers into the box if you want to buy 20 of something rather than having to click the right arrow 20 times, and easily being able to mark things for sale.  If I want to sell all my POOR and NORMAL fruits and vegetables, but keep my PERFECT ones, it should be easier than it is to get that done.

If I need to buy MEDICINE, I shouldn't have to wonder how I buy it.  Is it through the 37th cascading wheel on the computer?  Can I buy it from my phone?  Just let me purchase it through the Purchase System.  With a search bar where I could type in "Medicine" and have it show up.

    This is another great idea, it's mind boggling that nobody has asked for this before or that the developers didn't do this intuitively to begin with.  It's very tedious to have to click the little arrow pointer for each item you want to buy - it should at least allow you to hold-click and then count up automatically...surprised that was not an intuitive add either.  Another option would be to put an "All" or "Max" clicker under the little window displaying the number you're purchasing - and clicking on it sets the number to all available or the 99 item maximum.  

    Doing a similar thing for the recycling options - so you can chose all 20 of the trash fruit in your inventory with one click instead of twenty clicks.  This would also benefit from the "All" or "Max" option.

    Would also like to get an option to "Put Fridge Items Away" on the refrigerator options - especially after a big harvest.  My sims always have huge gardens, lots of chickens, etc. and selecting each item in the inventory then dragging it to the refrigerator (either the item in the game or the 'open refrigerator' inventory window) also gets tedious.  As this was available in earlier editions of Sims, I'm surprised this has not been done already.  This should also be expanded to "Put Flowering Items Away" for the flower arranging workbench.
