Do you keep your decorations in family inventory or rebuy each holiday?

It... never even occurred to me! Lol.

Hah! And I was the opposite, I've been using family inventory to store them all. Which is getting kind of cluttered.

Winter arrived recently and the crazy bills with that thermostat had me realize, all that value sitting in inventory is not helping. That's what made me have an 'ahhhh..." moment and realize I should maybe just sell and rebuy.

I always keep the box with the decoration options somewhere in the house (laundry room, or an odd hidden corner for example), the rest, I sell and buy each year. I thought about doing the inventory thing but I never did it, I don't really celebrate many holidays anyways.

@AlbaWaterhouse, sounds like what I think I've decided to do as well. I put in a basement pretty early in the game just for keeping that decoration box stack in. More down there now, but originally it was the main thing. I almost built an attic for it instead but that was more expensive. :p

I like the decorations box to rummage for freebies, put up lights and take them down after the Holiday. Sometimes I'll keep a rummaged decoration if I like it, but usually sell most of them. I don't abuse rummaging though, only do it once. So, I mostly just keep the decorations box in the household's inventory and bring it out for any Holidays my Sims celebrate.

EDIT: BTW Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow U.S. Simmers! *gobblegobble*

@Karababy52, thanks for your response and Happy T-day to you too!

I had not thought of saving them each year, but I might start doing that when I start my next Decades Generation Challenge.

I keep them as I don't want to have to go through the hassle of going through all the decorations again.

The family inventory starts getting really slow with lots in it so I only save the really expensive things.

I only put the Christmas tree in the family inventory. For other decorative items like greeting cards and the wreath, I go with the all season ones so I can simply change them depending on the holiday. I also change up the lights on the eaves.
