Cabinet improvements

To be honest I'm disappointed with the cabinets. I had hoped they would be like a multi slotted SDB but without the display element. So I still have to open the cabinet, take out a bag, (possibly having had to drop one to make room), take out (or put in) what I want, put bag back, close cabinet. 

And if I have more than one bag of a resource it will take up more than one slot

Please reconsider the cabinets so that do work more like the SDBs

In the meantime I will just hope I have enough resources and Imagination to make a lot of SDBs and group them together into my own 'cabinets'

  • I totally agree, this would be just perfect :) great idea!

  • I would just like to be able to select the cabinet by standing in front of it and hitting 'enter.'  That is one bit of old functionality I am missing a lot.

  • I'm with you there Rhonda,

    I thought that it would be the case, when we got the 'preview' of the SDB's, that the cabinets would be enlarged versions of them. Maybe they will be craftable in the long run, in the mean time, I have to think carefully where I place my thousands of things!

  • Scarlett Bearsdale: i thought we'd already made that change. if not, it will be made shortly

    [edit] yup, we already did that. hit enter to open, or single-click to open (while not in decorate mode)

  • "And if I have more than one bag of a resource it will take up more than one slot" - this is by design. cabinets are not meant to be infinite storage. if you're a hoarder, storage is supposed to be a challenge.

  • A class of Cabinets or SDBs with 1000 stack capacity that can store more than one item would be much appreciated!

    You can make storage difficult by making it expensive or cumbersome to make, and still allow for cabinets that work like multiple slot SDBs

  • We can do anything, but that doesn't mean we should.

  • I tend to agree, just plopping everything and anything into your cabinet which defies time and space doesn't sound like a very good idea to me, SDBs already added a huge amount of extra storage, more than we probably need.

    I do hope they are not limited tho, I would like at least 50 SDBs along my walls :D (or more..) (and a hoarder badge, eg filled 50 (or more..) SDB achievement ^^)

  • "I do hope they are not limited tho, I would like at least 50 SDBs along my walls" - no limit, beyond what you can craft/afford and how much wall space you have :)

  • If SDBs are not going to be limited then how about making it so we can put SDBs inside our slots in our cabinets! That seems like a logical comprimise

  • UrgleBurger: that's not going to happen. we're not trying to come to a compromise. you want more storage, add more cabinets or SDBs

  • I love SDB's and will probably have 100's of em! Yeah they will take up some wall space but thats ok with me :) I was just thinking it would be nice to have something like a carousel for SDB's or something along that line to save some wall space for other decorations. That being said, I am perfectly happy knowing that I can have as many SDB's as I can craft/afford! Another idea I had was some sort of decorative SDB Frames that we could hang on our wall and drop our SDB's into slots to arrange them nicely and add another design element to our homes.

  • ahh, we've talked about doing something like that - a display case made of several SDBs, counters with storage slots, etc.

  • Thanks Bees!

  • Thanks Bees! - a display case to enclose several SDBs would be ideal actually, and much more what I had hoped for

  • That's what I mean't by a "class of cabinets" :)

  • The thing I appreciate most about the SDB's is that there is an option to add ALL of the chosen item, which may be spread about in your many bags.  It's a pain to search your bags for that one last stack (even with the search function).

  • I like the existing cabinet functionality as one of our options.  I would totally use an SDB-style cabinet too!  I love the SDBs but I also do have bags for certain occasions I store, like my zilloween bag of pumpkins and candy. I've also started a cabinet of teleport scripts which is super-handy.  They would all stack in an SDB and you'd never know which script is which.

  • I'm just extremely happy they brought back the cabinets!!  I love that there are two different ways of storage...hidden but limited, and near infinite + display.  I plan to make a monster storage room in my new house, and have a huge inventory of SDBs there...but I also plan to have bags, packed and ready to go in Cabinets for parties, street projects, etc. 

    Just wondering...could we be able to name the cabinets like we name our bags?  Would love to know that one cabinet is just my street project bags, another cabinet might be food stuffs, another might be TP scripts, etc...

  • I would love to be able to access items that are in a container that is in a cabinet without having to take the container out of the cabinet first.

  • What I'd like is for a cabinet upgrade so it looks like the book shelf staircase. ^_^

  • I love using the SBDs for mass amounts of basic resources (and its ability to hold multiple pies/ piis :D) But stuff I'm not hoarding can simply go in bags and stuff 'em in a cabinet, and I love that! Not to mention shelves and putting things on countertops and even on top of cabinets adding so much storage that I literally don't know what to do with all of it. Anyway, I really think the current home organization is really versatile, and I hope it keeps that way through all the changes, 'cause I luuuuurve it.

  • this game is a hoarders dream!

  • Love both cabinets and SDBs, so happy that we'll be able to craft them in unlimited number. This game is completely a hoarder's dream, I've never played any games where we can in essence keep unlimited items and I love it! :) And I love that we don't have to pay real money for extra space unlike some other games.
