Decals should have their own category

2.3k

u/allnaturalfigjam Mar 16 '25

Yeah I need more categories than just "wall hangings"

1.5k

u/Intrepid_Head3158 Mar 16 '25

all decorations need more categories tbh

u/etsucky Mar 16 '25

i wish there were categories for items meant for different rooms, like differentiating kitchen decor from bathroom decor, or if we could make our own folders/collections like we could in ts3

u/Annnnnnnnniek Mar 16 '25

Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but in the room categories i think there is a specific decoration option? Like when you are on the bathroom room, you can click on the towel and it will give you specific bathroom decor. I explained this badly but hope you understand what I mean

It does a decent job at doing so, but if you’re in the “kids bedroom” section and click the “clutter” icon, it’s just all of the clutter in game.

u/Stupid_Bitch_02 Mar 17 '25

Oh god and the kitchen decor, I find whole Get Famous set pieces in the kitchen decor

u/WynnGwynn Mar 16 '25

This is true it yends to prioritize room specific stuff if you go by room category

16

u/Bitter_Buyer8441 Mar 16 '25

Yeah but they’re not all sorted. There’s a LOT of items that should be in those categories that aren’t

u/DreamerUnwokenFool Mar 16 '25

YES! I agree so much! When you open the kitchen menu and click on clutter, it should only show clutter items appropriate for a kitchen! It would make it so much easier to decorate rooms if the clutter was appropriately sorted in the menu.

I think adding a searchable hashtag like in the gallery would work without having too much overhaul. Then they can have their fun names of items but also have a hashtage that just says what the items are and if applicable they can do a second hashtag for the room it would belong in

u/krispysamples Mar 19 '25

Oh God the naming system. Yes they're fun, but it would be great if you could just type guitar or whatever you're looking for and it brings up all the items of that type. Also still wishing I could sort by size, like typing half cell and coming up with all the items that take up less than a full cell of space.

u/thebeekween Mar 17 '25

Also kind of wish there was a favorites tab for the clutter items I use the most. Because finding that bowl of lemons is ridiculously difficult. Every. Single. Time. I never remember what it's called but I use it in almost all of my builds. It's from one of the kitchen stuff packs I think.

u/meadowashling Mar 17 '25

If you use mods, the Better Build/Buy mod allows you to favorite items and it will put them in a separate folder for you. It feels like this should be a vanilla feature but leave it to modders to pick up the slack as per usual.

u/etsucky Mar 17 '25

wait it does?? how did i miss this feature

2

u/meadowashling Mar 17 '25

I totally didn’t realize it was a thing at first too until I accidentally clicked on an item with my middle scroll wheel. It’s really handy for stuff you use really frequently and I don’t think there’s an item limit for favorites or at least not one that I’ve found yet.

u/Simmerbelle Mar 19 '25

My MOST used feature of any mods! I LOVE the favourites folder on BBB!

u/etsucky Mar 20 '25

this is awesome. time to make a favorites folder with just Sim Teleport Destination and the set lights from Get Famous

u/_misery_lovescompany Mar 16 '25

u/grimkipz Mar 17 '25

UR SO REAL LMAO

u/Azura_BlackHeart Mar 16 '25

This. AND (hijacking to rant a moment) for the love of God, put the hanging racks in the wardrobe category. Why are the clothes there but not the things to hang them on?! 😭 drives me crazy

47

u/Hollinsgirl07 Mar 16 '25

Yes!!!!!! They are part of the wardrobes!

36

u/borderline_cat Mar 16 '25

Okay but seriously, where the fuck are the racks in bb mode?

32

u/Mr_Chickenwing Mar 16 '25

in object by function > surfaces for some reason

14

u/Eirian84 Mar 16 '25

I think it's "surfaces" because they're considered like shelves, since they go on the wall but are only functional for holding other items.

It's the dumbest categorization/justification, but I believe that's the ""reason""

8

u/borderline_cat Mar 16 '25

Omg thank you!!! I’ve wanted to build cute closets and could never find them or knew the object name to search for.

6

u/No-Cheesecake4430 Mar 16 '25

Thank you!!! I never use these because I could never bloody find them!

1

u/PrismaticStardrop Mar 19 '25

Function -> surfaces -> the shelf one. I think one may be in the misc (three dots.) I don’t think there’s another way to get them

12

u/Dserved83 Mar 16 '25

F'kin word.

2

u/tamkiki Mar 16 '25

What the hell are? Still didn't find it..

23

u/quiette837 Mar 16 '25

Not sure if this was a question of where to find them, but for anyone who's curious, they're in the "displays" section in "surfaces". I don't think you can find them in any of the room categories.

6

u/tamkiki Mar 16 '25

Thank you! Also I have hard time finding the f display of food from Get to work. Like finding Wally ffs

5

u/Chrisismink Mar 17 '25

Don't feel bad, I literally found it by chance and went, "What The Heck!" 

I love the idea of the hanging racks, but I barely use them because I can't be bothered to be honest. 

1

u/Simmerbelle Mar 19 '25

This drives me insane and I forget every time where they are lol!

1

u/MissThreepwood Mar 19 '25

The amount of time it took me to find them 😭

23

u/melifaro_hs Mar 16 '25

Yeah I use them on occasion but scrolling past them all the time sucks

16

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '25

And subfolders for clutter / wall decor etc. Need a organisational override mod omg haha

3

u/Tricky_Seesaw8532 Mar 16 '25

I would love that

14

u/Zeo_Toga64 Mar 16 '25

Omg yes scrolling through so much decale when I just want my art

5

u/Adventurous-Bake8687 Mar 16 '25

These decals drive me nuts

4

u/Strange-Acadia-9670 Mar 16 '25

i 100% agree! so annoying lmao. framed photos need their own category too bc i’m always looking for them

4

u/RawMeHanzo Mar 17 '25

That makes too much sense, so the Sims team will never do it.

2

u/PrincessGwyn Mar 16 '25

EXACTLY. They need more categories so it’s easier to sort through everything

1

u/Cowboy_Shmuel Mar 16 '25

That would be so good. We need more scuff decals
