I was mistaken. I am not done. Hopefully just this last thing to convey that if my suggestion could be implemented, it could avoid the pain and suffering that I am about to go through. My sim moved out of her dads house and took her chest and her gem crafting table and her apothecary table with her. Because you know, that seemed the smart way to do it since the chest and tables do not have a remove all option. WHY WHY WHY NOT? Anyway, When she placed them in her new house, all that happens is I get this crazy lag and nothing can be removed from any of them. I ended up deleting the apothecary table and getting a new one as I couldn't wait on that. I had her boyfriend move back into his dad's house and then I had her move back into her dad's house too, because I read somewhere that if you moved the tables and chest with the items in them from one house to another, that this could happen. So I figured moving back into her dad's house was worth a try. The good news is I will be able to recover the items it looks like. That bad news is, I am going to have to go one item at a time to place them on the ground and then have her pick them all up. And then when I move her back to her house, I am going to have to put all the books back in a bookshelf and I'm already overwhelmed with this and not sure I want to trust my gems and stuff in a table again. It is just a nightmare. If these items were not actual objects in her inventory, but an item count for these items like there is for simoleons, that she could just use the gem crafting table and it would pull from her item count, same as when she buys from a vendor it pulls simoleons from her simoleon count. Nightmare would be squashed!
You're only seeing a small portion of it too. There is so much stuff and I just feel like crying because I just want to play but had to figure out how to fix this first. 😓
