My sim has tons of stuff in her inventory and it's hard to find stuff among all the other stuff. Is there like a storage thing like with sims 3 World Adventures with the chests you got from other places? I know there's a family inventory in build mode but everything has to be placed on the ground and if I have 99+ of one item I want to put away it will take a lifetime to do them all :(

I couldn't find any. Please, please EA/Maxis can you add some storage boxes and proper display cases (Ones like in Supernatural would be great)

Actually there is a display case for minerals but I still don't get how does it work.Maybe it's automatic, dunno. :(

Why on earth would anyone sell a chest?And repomen... Cmon. All they ever "steal" is your toilet seat.Mylita thanks I'll check those lots (still didn't, I'm currently on fishing to see if anything spectacular comes out of it, not hoping much though).

Just to bump this up.There are no containers in secret areas.Which means you still have to keep all the stuff disorganized in your horrible sims 3 design inventory. :(Or drop it on the ground and try to at least organize that through the build mode.I'm utterly disappointed, honestly. It's not just plants or frogs, there are so many collectibles and at one moment your sim's inventory looks like a mess. Can't understand none of betatesters or QA guys didn't say anything about this to devs.

Only collectable that won't display are the frogs. They will, however, fit on any of the tables.I still do not know where you found Surfaces. There is nothing in build mode referencing that. The only things I found you can store stuff in. Were chests you buy in World Adventures, each location has 1 to store relics and other stuff from that country in. I bought like 10 of them to use as storage.In Sims 4 you find kitchen furniture, shelves or displays under Surfaces. If you are playing Sims 3 you won't be able to find them. :)

Storage - Is there something to put my stuff?

Geez, I didn't spot there is another thread about this already.

Same question. And same problem.

Mods please delete/close my thread, no need to have two of them:

Same here. I bought it but can't put the minerals (got them back from the geologist in a case) in it. How does it work?

I simply put the items in from my inventory, hover over and let go, same as putting things in the fridge or bookshelf.
It only allows one of each element though :(

I believe that in one of the two hidden lots, I found some crates that are supposed to hold stuff. You might look for those. Not sure which hidden lot it was though.

The chests in WA are dangerous if you forget to take out all the items when selling them, or if they get stolen by the maid or repoman. If they ever come to TS4, I hope all items will be placed in the individual inventory when the chests are sold. Portable containers that can be placed in the individual inventory would also be nice.

Can anyone confirm that the crates are able to hold stuff and if so how much/what stuff?

I know about it, but it's not what I consider a proper display case... only one of each element (and it's kinda ugly). I would like them similar to how they were in supernatural where you could display a few and keep the rest stored similar to a chest
