Unable to mass move a stack from the household inventory

Question

When stacks are in the household inventory you are able to:

Sell the entire stack by clicking and dragging to the sell "bucket"
Move items from the stack one-by-one

However, you cannot move the entire stack. This is understandable because technically you can't place multiple chairs in 1 location (without cheats), but when there is a stack in a Sim's inventory you can move the stack to another sim's inventory or into storage (i.e., fridge) for items that make sense to do so (harvestables, upgrade parts). This is the scenario that I am looking to bring up in the official EA Sims 4 forums.

Being unable to do this in the household inventory is time consuming/cumbersome when a Sim dies and they leave mass amounts of items from their inventories. I'm interested in keeping the items and not selling them, but right now I have no real choice unless I want to spend 30 RL minutes placing these on the ground!

Is this something on EA's radar?

Still having this issue in 2022 is despicable.&nbsp;

@Zombnom&nbsp;I agree, there are some improvements that would be nice for the deletion/sale and mass move of inventory. I think you have some great ideas and it would be a good idea to post them on the feedback/suggestion thread at this link:&nbsp;https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/the-sims-4-feedback&nbsp;I have had issues at times in personal inventory with harvestable items getting 'stuck' and blocking the ability to sell the stack in bulk or to sell specific items. If this is part of your issue let me know and I can walk you through getting past that.One aspect of selling from individual inventory for harvestables to mention if you are working on that... last I knew you cannot sell a stack in bulk until you get the number of items under 99. If it said 99+, in my experience, I had to sell them one at a time until the number got under 99, then I could do it in bulk. That is... if you don't have any items at the top of the stack that are 'stuck'. That's another whole fun thing. (I spent well over a RL hour selling my harvestables that had made my household bills just over $165,000 once... and they were millionaires afterward with normal bills. Real story - don't hoard in Sims. 😉 )

Will do! 🙂 I was seeing some older threads of people asking if this was possible, but not in an appropriate thread to REQUEST this feature. I'll add it, thanks!My focus with this post was the stacks in the household inventory only... but&nbsp;oh my!! I just used my test household to try and see what you were talking about, the Sim personal inventory is CRAZY when there's item(s) in there that have a stack of 99+!!&nbsp;

@SheriGR, some of my Sims hoard in their inventories, but with those Sims I use money cheats!&nbsp;😳😃&nbsp; But you are so right, you get "taxed" for all your inventory items, and if you have a bunch of blackberries or dragonfruit (I think those are some of the big offenders) , it can really add up!&nbsp;😮&nbsp; I'm so happy they gave us the ability for Sims with higher Gardening skill to sell their produce right from the plants!&nbsp;:eahigh_file:&nbsp; That helps a lot!&nbsp;😇

@Zombnom&nbsp;When you are clearing out their personal inventory if anything is 'stuck' in the stack it may be stopping you from moving the stack to the sell bucket once it gets under 99. drag the items, one at a time, from the top of the stack into the world until all items are removed from the personal inventory that are stopping you from being able to drag the stack to 'sell'. Then you can ask the sim to sell the item or drag it to sell from the world. I have even had times that I couldn't drag the item to the worlds and had tell the sim to 'place in world' to get it out of their personal inventory. In that case you don't want to re-add the buggy item to any inventory, you just want to sell it. That may or may not be an issue anymore, but if you run into it you can try these things.
