Is there a guide for all the items from all packs that you can put items in and what you can put in them that you can share with me?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
I use no mods or CC and I repair my game after every time I play.

Are you referring to the storage chests that were patched in after one of the Halloween challenges? There are only two storage chests that allow you to store all inventory items in; you can find them under Storage --> Misc in Build Mode.
Like: The Pack Cube: $90
Description: The Pack Cube sports a neo-modernist design that stores extra camping supplies without sacrificing strength and eating surface.
What are all the items in the game that can hold inventory like The Pack Cube and what kind of inventory can they keep?
I don't care if they share inventory. I just care if they HAVE inventory, and what kind they can have.
I mentioned what they could hold in my post. The chests can hold all the collectible items, the toy chests can hold toys, the bookshelves books and the fridge can hold food items. I'm not going to list every item individually because that would be an absurdly long list to do so with.

Kind of a lot to ask of people to list this all out for you and then you are rude when someone tries to help?
That wasn't rude, that was clarification. It's an interesting question. What items have inventory, regardless of whether they share their inventory with similar items?
Fridges hold prepared food, but can they hold harvestables, and if so what types? Fruit? Veg? Herbs? Fish?
Book cases hold books, but can they hold anything else?
Toy boxes hold toys. Anything else?
If I remember to do so, I might play around next time I'm playing, and find out what can be stored where.
This kind of hostile attribution makes people bring out the ten foot pole. There was nothing rude about what I wrote, but it was rude of you to interpret it that way. Who knows what other neutral information you might process negatively because of something about you, not the other person. Anyway, I also didn't ask people to list this all out for me, again something you interpret as way more cumbersome than was intended (complicate things much?). I asked if people could share a guide with me, as in, preferably a link already put together. If anyone wants to list them out for me, they can, but they don't have to. It most likely won't be you, and that's just fine with me. Just please stop interpreting anything else I write and go judge elsewhere.
Thanks! Those are the ones I pretty much know too. But there are some that I wasn't aware of and I think there are more that I still don't know because it doesn't say clearly in the description of the item. It may say you can store things but it doesn't say what and I don't think there is a way to sort by it. Anyway, I did a search and I couldn't find all the storage items and what they could hold so I figured I would ask.
For example, there is this Ever So Versatile Chill Box. The info in the description hints that it might store items, lab specimens.
None of the sims in my current household are scientists, and for reasons, I can't leave my lot to go to another household. I would like to search what exactly it can hold, if anything else, but I can't find it on google or on Sims Wiki.
I thought there would certainly be some site with lists of all items in the game and what they do, with descriptions more revealing than in-game ones. But it seems like even searching for the exact name of some items still reveals no hits. Maybe someone else here knows where such database exists that I'm just not finding.
Thanks!!
I've found through gameplay the only objects that store anything are refrigerators, bookshelves, toy chests, storage trunks, aquariums, fish bowls, plus a few Get To Work retail display objects that hold items for sale, such as baked goods and platters of food.
I don't have City Living, but I've also heard of one other object called the flea market table that holds objects for that particular event. But it's not really for general storage would be my guess.
If someone finds any other storage objects in the game, I'll happily be proven wrong and very interested to know what it is and what it holds. I personally don't believe there is any such objects though. Hope this helps. Happy Simming!
EDIT: The Get to Work mannequins will store up to five outfits, I think, could be more? Perhaps five per clothing category? I've only used them once, so I'm not positive on the number of outfits.
I make use of the lice cold retail freezer, I don't make stores but you can keep a separate inventory of items like reward potions, scientist potions and herbalist concoctions in them and they are kept separate from your fridge. You can put some vegetation but not all so I don't use it for that. Then I'll use the other storage chests for vegetation I don't want my sims to cook with, upgrade parts ect. I'll make use of household inventory for things my sims might not need for awhile but doesn't want to give up... rewards, plant ect.. Then there's the fridge too of course.
Thank you for mentioning the table @Sineea! I hadn't tried to use it.
I didn't take it as rude. I was responding more to the note above mine and so I was not really offering much of a useful answer to the original question anyway. *shrug*
Yeah, it's too bad that the camping thing and the science thing don't have inventories that one can put things in. They would be excellent to store camping stuff and science-related equipment separately. But I did learn something from your post, haha, when you were the one asking a question. First of all, tho, the Street Store Table is still glitched, I think, in the fact that you can't start a Street Sale from it. I didn't see that it was fixed in the latest Patch Notes, but sometimes they forget everything they addressed.
But the way you described using the table, as a just storage item, sounds rather handy. I'm always looking for ways I can transfer things, from one household to another. It's usually passing things on the the kids, yeah, when they move out, as heirlooms, or just some furniture to get a start. I also like to have a separate place for my gardener Sims that do potions to store the ingredients for those somewhere that doesn't clutter up other inventories, too. I'll have to try the Table for this, and thanks for the ideas!
Refrigerators also share inventory.

If you have GTW there are some great shelving units that work well for storage -- I use the industrial looking shelves for frogs and insects, usually in a basement room where I can lock the door so my Sims don't keep going downstairs to view them.

Yeah, I use it to store separate types of items in, like food that doesn't spoil in one, potions in another, etc. In fact, one of the very useful things I've found is that it makes it easier to drink potions you need to get skill up and needs fixed - snuggle fluster potion and need fixer potion. Instead of having these in my inventory, or on a shelf, I replicate them constantly on the cloning machine and then put them in this table. You can stock table twice in a row and if I have two stacks of potions in there, it will put a mix of one type of potion on the table then a mix of the second type of potion. That way, my sims always have a mix of need fixer and snuggle fluster potions on top of it. Too bad I can't put a third type of item in and have it generate among the other two on top or I would put the moodlet solver one also. But I use that to a lesser extent as the other two (mainly early on in a sim's skill building when the snuggle fluster makes them pee their pants a lot before I take the steel bladder reward), so I put the moddlet solver and food that doesn't spoil in another table and have a mix of those on top. The food I use less often too but I don't like to use a whole need fixer potion each time they get a bit hungry so this way they can eat some food and be good.
This table is amazing really so I was wondering what other storage items there were that maybe I was missing out on. But yeah, you can have it generate a mix of two types and that's nice, plus when you clear table it puts everything stacked in your inventory. This is nice because before I used to put a lot of things on shelves I wanted to have for easy use but the only way to get it all in inventory after was to put in household inventory, and from there I couldn't put the whole stack in a sim's or fridge's inventory. I would have to put things back one by one on a shelf or on the ground and pick them up - a real pain.
The only thing I wish is that the sims could drink or eat right off the table but somehow they can't. I just make sure to put it by a bar or another small table that I just drag whatever I want them to eat/drink to and then tell the to consume it.
It's cool that you can sell right off this table and mark up prices although I haven't really tried it with any success yet.
Another really innovative mod is scumbumbo's Packing Crates. It allows you to click on just about any household item and select Pack In Crate. This will place it in the Crate, which scumbumbo cloned from the end table crate, and then you can place the crate in your inventory. It was broken by a patch for quite some time, but scumbumbo has returned and updated it in after the Cats and Dogs Patch. I don't have it back in my game yet, but no comments on the mod say it has broken again. It is just for packing and not selling. This is a way to move the items, such as furniture, that can't be placed in a Sim's inventory by themselves, to another household. It's the only way to do this that I am aware. Here's the link to it for mod users.

OP, I just saw in another thread that you don't use mods, but I will leave the link for anyone who'd like to.
But I would like to know about that tarp that has an inventory, if the inventory comes without the mod. And what exactly can you store in it? From what you wrote it seems like the inventory might exist without the mod and then the mod allows you to sell woodworking crafted items off it. I don't really care about selling items as I have max money from gardening.
The Tarp can be found under the rugs, and it is easy to spot if you filter for the City Living Pack. I can't remember for sure if the inventory showed before I installed the mod, but it should be easy to check. It would be another item to designate to store a certain category of items if so, yes.
Are you talking about the one that allows you to put up paintings and diagrams up for sale? That's the only other one in CL that you can place and sell items on.

Oooo, thanks for the tip about the shelving units! Right now I just have all of the insects and frogs all over the floor of my basement. I don’t have GTW yet, but I do plan to buy it. Thanks again!
