Whoa, What I Just Discovered!

That's called the "live drag" feature and it has indeed been there since the beginning. In addition to being able to drag on drop onto sims (and other things like @Benjamilian mentioned, you can drag and drop them on the sim portraits for your active household, on the bottom left of the screen. This makes it super simple to move things between the personal inventories of different sims.

Please add what's new to you, so we can know we're not alone!

New to me is the fact that the Great Soil lot trait is broken and is the reason I've had issues on some lots for quite a while, with harvestable plants resetting into their nothing-but-a-dirt-pile stage.
Despite having googled the problem and finding many reddit threads and even EA Help topics on the issue...not one place I had read mentioned the lot trait until yesterday when I posted here asking for assistance. And it seems like EVERYONE here knew....I guess that's what I get for not visiting these forums for 3 years of play. :blush:

As @simgirl1010 pointed out, we have a pretty large thread on these types of revelations so I'll be closing this thread before we have 2 300 page threads on the same topic. :)

Yes, you can slide items like bikes, collectibles, laptops etc into your inventory, can drag books into bookshelves, dirty plates into sinks, rubbish into bins and meals into fridges. It saves a lot of time.

Not something I discovered, but I'm often surprised to see that people don't know that they can modify their sims without using a cheat.
Just click on a mirror and select "Change Sim" to go into CAS. You'll have access to all the sliders like this. And you can also drag objects off the grid by pushing on Ctrl and dragging your mouse.This is a little like bb.moveobjects, but simpler and a little less efficient.

I've been dragging things to just about everything, like plates to the sink, and after the zillionth time of a sim trapping themselves in a corner with a violin I discovered I could drag instruments in live mode, but it had never occurred to me to drag things to the sim.

Need a face-palm emoji.
