Who else dislike clutters ?

As a sims 3 architectural design afficionado, I love them clutters.

I don't mind the clutter but I wish it was possible to use it easier without mods and to find it easier as well. I have to agree about the way things have been sorted or categorized.

I don't mind some of it for decoration, but man, sometimes builders go overboard with it.

I'm not a fan of the clutter either. I never really use the items and when I do download a house on the gallery, if it has to much clutter I delete it all cause it's annoying and in the way or I just don't use the house.

OMG I do the same! Some builders really like to litter their build with clutters !

I do like having some clutter, but not too much.

What I would like is to have more things available to put on shelves, because so many small items will not go on shelving unless you use moo and I don't really like to moo. And for a collection function in build/buy.

I like clutter, just wish it were better organised, especially in TS4 where there is so much of it. Search function is good, but some are not even named something logical and appropriate so it' difficult to find them. They should bring back the collections function from TS2.

I agree! I often waste too much gaming time trying to find something. I wish we could group or brand each item in a way making it easier to find stuff, and a way that would work regardless of how we actually play. Say, I always end up having a diverse community, some houses are meant to be poor, some rich, and the rest just average. Or, some houses are kinda focused on certain styles, and there is a filter in-game, but as long as I can not alter it, I can not benefit from it 100%. Plus, CC is often branded like the object they were cloned from, messing it all up. We could have a simple system where we designed our categories ourselves by colors, and then brand items according to our needs. It would make it more effective if my top snob lady would not need to browse through all the "trash" to find one exclusive looking item. In past series my poor could start browsing from top, and top society could start from bottom, but in my TS4 game catalogs are (no longer) sorted by price tag.

This said, OP - I love clutter!!! Can't have enough, and some of it is fine without any interactions. I think it's cool when some interaction is included, but I tend to forget. I just found out that some toys from the base game can be used for more than decor...

Searching the catalogue by colour is useless as it brings up every item in the catalogue that has a swatch of that particular colour.

Yeah, I get how you feel. I'm happy it's there for designers/builders, but when I download something from the gallery the first thing I do is usually delete most of the clutter. They take up too much space, and I prefer to fill my sim's homes with rewards they earn or things they make in game, like paintings and woodworking stuff, cause it feels more personal to their story rather than just buying a bunch of junk right off. And I'm always looking through build mode for things that actually DO things, rather than just take up wall, shelf and floor space. When buying a pack, I'd much rather even have new designs of basic functional items like beds and toilets, which I might actually USE, rather then a bunch of random decor.

I mean there are so many non functional items in the sims 4. Yes I do appreciate all the design work put into clutters, decoration items etc but I rather the developer spend more time creating objects with gameplay. Especially I don’t get decorations mounted on the wall because half the time you don’t even see them in gameplay. At this point the game really has way too many decorations but not enough gameplay objects. I get that it is cool for builders. I am not a builder I just want to play the game. More gameplay items please :)

Oh heck no, there's not nearly enough clutter! WE! NEED! MORE! CLUTTER! Like an entire Clutter Stuff Pack!! I'm a builder who very rarely plays the game so I don't care about gameplay, that's been fleshed out enough, MORE CLUTTER!! More decoration objects please!

I love clutter and love downloading houses with tons of clutter as I'm not good at placing it using cheats. But I can understand you wanting more game play objects. I have a feeling though that having so much clutter isn't taking away from game objects as they cost way more money and time then clutter objects.
