Inventory needs improving

This may have been mentioned before but EA needs to revamp the way inventory works....

why is it that when you have more than one of the same item and you want to reuse them all, after you place the first item, you are taken back to the beginning of your inventory which means you have to scroll all the way back to where you were?

Wouldn't it be better If it kept your place so you don't need to scroll from the beginning every time you place an item. It's annoying if you have a lot if inventory, like I do.

Also, why is it when you store any items that count towards your multiplier, the conform-o-meter bonus is reduced by that item's multiplier until you use it again. Seasonal items, such as Simpson's snowmen and christmas trees, have to be kept out of storage to count towards the bonus.
  • What's more annoying is that I am at the limit as far as content placed in my town (I've gotten the sarcastic message "Congratulations, you've reached your limit," so I am FORCED to store a lot of my stuff, so the situation is only going to get worse over time. Something has to change !!!!
  • I just had to store The Shining Maze to rearrange and make room for The Anvil. It took me bout 15 minutes to find it again when I wanted to replace it. Lesson learned. Pay close attention to the name of an item BEFORE you store it. First place I looked was in the tree category...not. Scrolled the full inventory. Not under M for maze. Not under S for Spooky Maze. Guess where I finally found it? T !! T for The ! The Shining Maze! A mazing. Grrrrrrr
  • I honestly don't think anyone would disagree that there is room for improvement in many areas of the inventory.
  • I like the search option as well. I've got 2 more ideas.
    1) categories i.e. Christmas, Halloween, St Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, Fourth of July, Springfield Heights, etc.
    2) Print/Export Button (for your personal inventory, maybe with a stored/in use marker)
  • I put a pair of "drawers" in which to put what you want and then I would leave the section fixed natal events, hallowey

    If someone made a fight club about it, perhaps EA would address it.


    They most definitely would. They did. Remember the inventory glitch? They fixed that in record time. I'm wondering if the change from the old style inventory to the one we're all complaining about was a preventive measure to ensure that would never happen again.



    Lol. I remember that glitch. Barely got to use it. It is amazing. If its to their advantage is meh. If its to ours its record time update. haha

    I can't even imagine what it would be like if you nuked and EVERYTHING was in there.

    Maybe "fence" can be put under the fence category while they're at it? :p


    Now that is crazy talk! Everyone knows fences dont belong in the fence category.
  • I agree 100%, we need a better organized inventory. Why not be able to create our own categories or sort by name a-z or z-a, sort by number, bonus, resale value and so on?

    Was just able to increase my multiplier by 30% by taking out several items I didn't even remember I had (or didn't know they had a multiplier to start with, this should be visible in inventory).
  • PS it would also be nice if we could Print/Export our Character Collection lists too.
