Question about Decorations Box usage

Does the decorations box only place stringers and what not on your house or does it work with placeable objects aswell? if so how?

  • @Korgly

    It places certain decorations on certain lot things. Like on fences, roof trim, etc. You can also click on the box and search for decorations It will drop down placeable decorations nearby that you can then go into buy mode and move around.

    @Psychotps ah, ok I was thinking that if I placed candy pumpkin dish's and pumpkins outside on lawn and so on that they could be saved to just all be placed out with one click during the holiday..  I kinda stopped playing around with holidays because of the tedious putting them all back one by one in household inventory and placing them again.

    @Korgly That's what I do. I search the box for placeable items. Once the holiday is done, I move them into the household inventory, ready for next year. I also do that for regular holiday items like Christmas trees and such.

    @Korgly , I agree, which is why I mostly just use the automatic decorations for the outside, and only put a few out for each holiday for the inside (and sometimes I don't even bother with those! 😳 )

    One nice thing about the decorations box is that if your Sims are low on money and you have this box, you can rummage through it and it will give you 3 items that you can sell for simoleons! 🙌  You can do this over and over is your Sims really need the cash! 😉

    I play on console so going back in forth in buy mode is pretty laggy for me unless I click on the notification tab repetitively so probably wouldn't do it every holiday lol but yah

    @Korgly I'm the same way as @PugLove888. Most houses I just use the "Put up/Take down decorations" action on the box. It's easy and does it automatically. I only do the placeable ones on houses I end up playing long-term.
