    Storage - Is there something to put my stuff?

    PoliwagPoliwag Posts: 70 Member
    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    My sim has tons of stuff in her inventory and it's hard to find stuff among all the other stuff. Is there like a storage thing like with sims 3 World Adventures with the chests you got from other places? I know there's a family inventory in build mode but everything has to be placed on the ground and if I have 99+ of one item I want to put away it will take a lifetime to do them all :(

      Geez, I didn't spot there is another thread about this already.

      Same question. And same problem.

      Mods please delete/close my thread, no need to have two of them:

      I couldn't find any. Please, please EA/Maxis can you add some storage boxes and proper display cases (Ones like in Supernatural would be great)

      Actually there is a display case for minerals but I still don't get how does it work.
      Maybe it's automatic, dunno. :(

      Same here. I bought it but can't put the minerals (got them back from the geologist in a case) in it. How does it work?

      I simply put the items in from my inventory, hover over and let go, same as putting things in the fridge or bookshelf.
      It only allows one of each element though :(

      I believe that in one of the two hidden lots, I found some crates that are supposed to hold stuff. You might look for those. Not sure which hidden lot it was though.

      The chests in WA are dangerous if you forget to take out all the items when selling them, or if they get stolen by the maid or repoman. If they ever come to TS4, I hope all items will be placed in the individual inventory when the chests are sold. Portable containers that can be placed in the individual inventory would also be nice.

      Why on earth would anyone sell a chest?
      And repomen... Cmon. All they ever "steal" is your toilet seat.

      Mylita thanks I'll check those lots (still didn't, I'm currently on fishing to see if anything spectacular comes out of it, not hoping much though).

      Can anyone confirm that the crates are able to hold stuff and if so how much/what stuff?

      I know about it, but it's not what I consider a proper display case... only one of each element (and it's kinda ugly). I would like them similar to how they were in supernatural where you could display a few and keep the rest stored similar to a chest

      Just to bump this up.
      There are no containers in secret areas.

      Which means you still have to keep all the stuff disorganized in your horrible sims 3 design inventory. :(
      Or drop it on the ground and try to at least organize that through the build mode.

      I'm utterly disappointed, honestly. It's not just plants or frogs, there are so many collectibles and at one moment your sim's inventory looks like a mess. Can't understand none of betatesters or QA guys didn't say anything about this to devs.

      I know this thread is from a few months ago, but in case you haven't found it yet... There are shelves/displays in Build Mode under Surfaces. Only collectable that won't display are the frogs. They will, however, fit on any of the tables.

      I still do not know where you found Surfaces. There is nothing in build mode referencing that. The only things I found you can store stuff in. Were chests you buy in World Adventures, each location has 1 to store relics and other stuff from that country in. I bought like 10 of them to use as storage.

      In Sims 4 you find kitchen furniture, shelves or displays under Surfaces. If you are playing Sims 3 you won't be able to find them. :)

      Didn't they patch in two storage chests way wack when we had that Halloween "trick or treat" challenge? I remember you could put some things from your inventory in them

      There were a few more in TS3 outside of WA. Many in other Eps. Such as my fave, the alchemy chests from Supernatural. Just like the rocking chairs and fake imaginary friends, they were awesome for any house.

      Then in TS4, there are a few things for storage, but not many. And the ones that do exist aren't very useful. (fish tank = fish only, fridge = selected food only, weird red mini cupboard = limited number of skulls only, etc)

      Yep. They act like the ones in Sims 3. And @Cinderellimouse made the ones from WA for S4.

      We have a couple of storage chests in different styles. I use them all the time.

      Yeah, I made a crate which holds anything that a Sim inventory can hold too. I've been using it with my current household to store flowers and fertiliser: https://simsinthewoods.wordpress.com/2016/02/21/ts4-download-storage-crate-test-version/

      I'm curious about the inventory type for the flea market tables, it seems like they hold a lot of different things. They might make useful storage objects for people who don't use mods.

      There are shelves under Surfaces > Shelves that can store/hold items. There are also several chests under Storage > the 'three dots/other' area.

      Hey guys!! I found the perfect item to store all your things from your sims personal inventory! It's with the Supernatural Pack, Aleister's Alchemy Cabinet. My character had finished the Future pack arch before I moved him to the world that came with Supernatural and was looking for something to unpack his pockets. Order to find it: Build Mode> Order By Function > Surfaces> Displays. It's a large cabinet for 415 Simoleons, and I've put hundreds of items into it now. I know this is way late but I just downloaded it today and was looking for answers, hope I help someone else in the future.

      The fridge for produce... the bookshelf for books... and the household inventory for other stuff. It's all I got right now.

      In The Sims 4 Buy Mode and Build Mode are the same thing. Also, sorry for double posting!

      For TS4, if you own the Jungle Adventure pack, you can get the chests from build mode, and they'll store anything. :)
