My sims collection, the snow globes, and small crystals collected from space, are some more that will fit.

ETA. Never mind I see them in your list.

I use them for the snowglobes my kids collect in SM. The parents help them collect them around the city and it makes a really cool display. I like the idea for the statues as well. I will have to do that.

I found that if you want to add a collectable it helps if you add it in build mode instead of live mode for some reason.

Does anyone know how to put candles on a shelf? I downloaded a house once and I saw that they put candles on a shelf in their bathroom and I really liked the idea for my bath. I tried it out and it won’t go on their but there must be some way to get them there?

Hello @Adoremiia
The creator of the home may have used the MOO cheat to put the candles on the shelf.
The cheat code to use moo is

Hopefully, that helps, that said this thread's originally from 2014. It's been necroed a couple of times now and with that in mind, I am going to close it.
