Title: any inventory management in seasons?
Post by: pitifulpeon on 2007 January 14, 07:40:59
original thread of inspiration here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=3653.0

I'm not crazy about the sims 2 inventory, especially when I have multiple business owners/crafters in one family.  So I was wondering if anyone knows about any official improvements to anything inventory related that will be made in seasons. 

In specific categorizing of one's inventory, or transferring crafted items from one sim to another.

this isn't a thinly disguised request btw.  It's nice if it could be done with a mod, but if it's a pain in the ass just to access the inventory IN GAME, I can't imagine what it's like to sift through the code.  Well, then again,this is my non awesome pov.

Seasons is nothing but Lies and Propaganda as far as we're concerned.  :P We know no more about this than you do. When/if the game comes out, then we'll see.

Transferring crafted items is easy.  You just move them out of one Sim's inventory, stick them on the lawn or wherever,  then plop them in the inventory of your chosen Sim.  Using the "I" key makes it quicker.

That's not easy.  That's boring and time consuming.  Especially when dealing with millions of tiny flowers or toy robots.

Exactly!

We're supposed to get fridges that store leftovers aren't we?  that should help clean up the inventories a bit.

It would be helpful if the inventory was tabbed in some way, craftables in one tab, cell phones and personal electronics in another, diplomas, deeds, photos, etc. in another. 

I didn't play Sims 1 for long, but wasn't their inventories split up similarly.

As to whether this will come about in a future EP, I will remain hopeful but not expectant.

I would like to have the ability to organise clothing be body type as well. I can just about manage spotting the difference between normal sims, athletes and bodybuilders but have only got the default replacement Warlokk meshes as I know figuring out which clothes belong where will be impossible with the others. Actually what I'd really like is some sort of customisable system so that I can organise it the way I want. Being able to add a description (that is meaningful to me) would be ideal. Having sub-folders would help a lot too as it takes forever to scroll through all the available clothing in CAS/buy mode.

I would love to be able to organise catalogues (objects and clothes) in the way that we can now organise the collections with Pets - move things round, rename etc.  I'd like that more than anything else.  Also the ability to change the categorisation easily (without SimPE).

I read somewhere (maybe even on the official site) that the Lies & Propaganda will group items in the inventory into one icon, with a number showing how many of those items it represents.  That'll make it a bit handier for business owners and crafted stuff.

The thing I wish is that Sims could actually open presents in Sims2 like they did in the Sims1 and that Sims could still give gifts from their inventory Like they did in Sims1

I've always wondered why this hadn't been done in the first EP introducing inventory (NL?) already.
