Inventory Feature
I'd like to see a new sorting feature for sims inventory or storage inventory such as a bookcase. I'm pretty sure a lot of people find the inventory we have now is very messy and hard to navigate. It...

@AndyZhang2896, there are 2 boxes that you can store some small objects in . The 2 boxes are called "The Ornate Beauty" and "Buyer Beware" . You can find them in Build/Buy Mode in the "Objects by Function" section under the "Storage" sort (or just type their names in the Search bar). Here are some pictures; all of the objects shown can go in either box except the wooden stool and the flower stand on the right, and the pet toys at the bottom. (Any toys should go in the toyboxes and pet toys in the pet toyboxes.) The Buyer Beware is the wooden chest one and The Ornate Beauty is the other one:
So, most items that are clickable and draggable in Live Mode can go in these chests! :eahigh_file: These chests might not be quite what you want, but at least they give you some options!
And I absolutely agree that our inventories need to be categorized! I've wanted this for the longest time!😞 It is especially bad and confusing for collectors and gardeners. Gardeners will always have to keep some amount of either fish or other produce in their inventories until they can get all of their plants to the highest level of quality! And now that we have spellcasters, they need a variety of object in their inventories no matter what if they want to keep making potions! I also love the idea to have a sort for quality of ingredient! 🙂
@PugLove888 You're right, I don't like a chest. I prefer a cupboard that sims can interact with. I just found out I can't store Upgrade Part anywhere, even on the chest you mentioned.
I create a visualization of how the inventory feature be like.1. There will be Inventory Name (not sure what this should be called), so we can give the object some labels. Maybe if we hover over the inventory, it will show the new name we give? Then there's no need to open the objects, we know what the objects contain even without looking it contents.
2. Sort By, so we can organize our inventory. Even my items aren't much, it's still messy right now.3. Sort By Ascending & Descending button.
Is there a way to tag SimGuru? I don't think this will be very hard to implement, and this feature is necessary. Really hope it gets implemented, even I'm kinda pessimist about this ☹️
@AndyZhang2896, yes, quite a few of us have been wanting an inventory with different categories, for some time now! 🤞 I would also love the ability in an enhanced inventory to be able to sort either from descending or ascending! :ealight_bulk:
I don't know about tagging a Sim Guru. Many Sim Gurus are on Twitter, so if you are on Twitter too , that might be a good place to start, since I've seen people ask them things and sometimes they answer! 🤨🙂
But I would also post in the Official Forums Feedback section: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/TS4-feedback
@PugLove888 I have Twitter and have been tweeting to one of the SimGuru but so far no response. ☹️
I ever tried to start a new topic on Official Forums Feedback but it requires a certain level to create a new topic.
Thank you for the information about the boxes. I wasn't sure whether or not they could be used to store things or if they were decorative.
Unfortunately, the boxes don't help when my sim is at work trying to find something in the inventory to pull out & use or trying to see how many of something he has. The current sorting system doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason to it. I have no idea how it sorts things-- it's not alphabetical or by type. It's not even by most recently acquired because sometimes stuff I just got will be in the middle. Its a jumbled mess.
I was hoping someone could mod a search feature or sorting thing.
What I'd love is a search function to search by name for an object. I'd also like to be able to sort things by name (descending or ascending) as well as by quantity, function, type, etc. So all items with focus aura would show up if I chose by emotional aura, or all metals would show up if I chose metals or all crystals, plants, etc... It would also be nice to have a way to stack all things of a certain type because I have multiple separate stacks of apples and such and I don't know why.
- @suceress I hope they added such feature to the base game though. Not everyone (including me) like a mod.
This is not a very complex thing to do and I hope they implement this in the near future.
The current inventory display box might be too small. I hate scrolling through it because sometimes I just passed the items I want to find, end up scrolling up and down several times.I agree. I don't know if EA will actually take the time to implement it though. I really hope they will.
It seems we've had the same problem with scrolling past something. I wish we could re-size and move the inventory box. My eyesight has been getting worse with age. I now need to use very large fonts & icons on my computer to find stuff & it's very difficult for me to see the little images in a sim's inventory. A mode for people with eyesight problems would be nice to make things larger.
