Bait Inventory PS4

Is there an easier way to use the bait inventory when finding a fish to bait with?

I'm on PS4, and I play a gardener Sim. I haven't sold any of my harvestables because I can't sell stacks and I don't want to take forever to sell individually. Because of this, my inventory is huge and with the current system it takes *forever* to locate a specific fish to use as bait to catch certain fish.

Is there a workaround for the bait inventory system? I've tried selecting the fish in my personal inventory, but it only gives me the option to mount, not use as bait.

Does EA have any plans to streamline this inventory system and make it more user friendly? Maybe add a folder system? It would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @Sweegtiegrrl2346. Sounds like you're having the same issue as other players with the new update. You can't sell stacks by pressing Square and Triangle anymore, but there are workarounds for it! Here's how I've been selling my stacks: Highlight the stack you want to sell, then press Triangle. It will ask you to sell the item. Cancel it. Then press Square on the stack and cancel it. Then press Triangle again, and it will ask to sell the whole stack.

    I've seen other methods work too, but hopefully that one works for you.

    Thanks, I tried your method but it's still not working. I may be having trouble highlighting stacks. I move the cursor over the number in the upper right corner of the stack and press triangle, but nothing happens until I open the stack up by pressing X. Then, once I'm in the stack, I can only sell items individually. 😞

    Edited to add: I've also tried highlighting the item in the center of the square, not upper corner, but triangle still doesn't work.

    @Sweegtiegrrl2346 hmm...all right, I hope I'm not misunderstanding your issue! You can only sell stacks like this by opening up your sim's inventory and selling them from there. Is that what you've been doing? If so, that method for selling should work. Let me know if that's not the case and I'll try to help you more.

    Yes, I have been opening up their personal inventories to try to sell, but it doesn't work except individually. I'm at my wits end! 😣

    Okay. I wish I knew how to help you. I do have one more method you can try, I think it has worked for some players. Press Square on the stack and cancel. Then press Triangle.

    That method didn't work for me, but it might for you. If not, I've suggested everything I can! I hope you figure this out!

    It worked! I tried your first method again and it worked like a charm! 😊

    Thanks!
