@RaichiSims I agree... your idea is awesome! I really hope this suggestion is enacted, along with the organizational recommendations for inventory that @PugLove888 mentioned. This would make many of our lives easier - big time!
I'm crazy about gardening in the game, and I have also found fertilizing very annoying (though now that we don't have to constantly scan for the fertilizer can in inventory it is much better - not sure if this is the one from the growfruit challenge you mentioned, PugLove, or just the general one). The fact that we can fertilize with many types of organic items now is awesome! I thought I would add a few things to PugLove's excellent list (and try not to repeat!)...
Additional 'managing produce/flowers' inventory tips:
- If you are collecting flowers for flower-arranging purposes, after harvesting drag them by the stack from personal inventory to the flower-arranging table to store them. This will get them out of your personal inventory, and any of the household sims can then use them at the table to make the arrangements.
- If you are a herbalist (this may also be the case if making potions in ROM - I'm not sure as I have not done it), you can drag the harvested herbs by the stack from your personal inventory to one of the games' storage chests to store them, or to the refrigerator. Refrigerator is best so you can just brew with them directly from there (I don't remember if these need to be in personal inventory while cooking for an herbalist?) You can also story the bugs, etc you need for your brews in the storage chest until you need them.
- If you are collecting/storing fruit/veggies/herbs to cook with, drag them from personal inventory by the stack to the refrigerator.
- Dragging by the stack is awesome and saves tons of time, but it removes the whole stack from your inventory. If you want to keep any in your personal inventory, just re-add a few back in after dragging the stack. You can also drag stacks to sell... and if you want to keep a few just drag those first to the floor, sell the stack, then drag the few back to your inventory or the refrigerator, etc., for storage.
I think I covered the purposes you would want to use harvestables for, but I may have missed something. Anyway, What I do is only keep a reasonable supply on hand and in inventory for usage purposes to avoid those nightmare household bills PugLove mentioned, and mercilessly sell everything else. Once you have the supplies you need you can keep some stacks of your favs for fertilizing in personal inventory, then... Super-Sell is your new very best friend. That and the pause button. I have my sim go collect/harvest what I want to keep, then just queue up a walk-through of clusters of plants and Super-Sell the rest. Doing all of this made my life much easier, and was a sanity saver.

You both make excellent points and I couldn't agree more 🙂
Thanks so much for replying, I hope that if this topic gets enough replies EA will notice and pass the feedback along to the developers!
