How do you organize your house?

I'd appreciate any tips you can give me on how to organize your house.  I have a 50k one.  But I'd like to hear about other houses as well. 

I don't have many tips to offer.  I do like to stack my SWF  outside, because I get so many of them.  And I put 1 of each flower on the ground.  But I think more than 1 would be better.

Thanks in advance.  May you all be well, happy and peaceful.  Cheers

  • I use a ton of bags. These are the times when I wish I had a modern house instead of my 15k cottage, just because there'd be more space to put everything in. My cabinet (32 slot) is full and I still have bags everywhere.

    I like everything in their own bags. So I have bags for all the harvestables (sometimes multiple bags for each depending), bags for awesome stew, my bog harvests, grain, hooch, and everything else. I'm working on a bag of guano at the moment, which is a pain in my ass.

    I'm slightly OCD about how things are in my house. I like everything in bags, neatly labeled. On my person, that's a different story. Nothing is organized save my tools in their tool boxes, a bag of stew for energy, a bag of drinks, and a bag with some paper, pig bait, sprigs of silver tongue, planks, my dolls, and then a bag of powders/potions.

  • I'm a lot like Saiai, and I had no idea how much I had until I moved from my small house to a bigger one (still a cottage though!) and it took me like 4 trips to a friends place where I stashed my stuff when I moved.

    I keep everything in their own separate bags except for turned and tuned stuff, that has it's own smaller bag. I'm only hoarding so I can do some sort of mass egg and bean seasoning, as well as potionmaking. Once that's over then I'll be hoarding brincks and such in case of the new housing update needing them (and because I need the digging badges and the like).

  • I have a 50k home too and I have so much stuff that it wouldn't all fit in bags. Unless I had a bazillion bags. I'm working on buying a bazillion bags though. But for now they are placed near other items of relation neatly on the floor so that it only looks like one thing dropped in that spot instead of the 1,000 that's really there. So I have all the crops in front of the garden like that. Downstairs by the trees is all my building stuff, machines, etc. On the middle level is all my drinks and stuff and game things. My emblems, complete cubimal collection and other valuable items are stored in my cabinet. I am still working on organizing though and for things that I don't have a trillion of I will prolly put in labeled bags eventually.

  • I only eat one food: expensive grilled cheese. These I make by cheesemaking on no-no every few days. This means that the only resource I need in quantity is milk, grain, honey, tomatoes, and spice. Everything else, in particular all the junk my inventory gets littered with while gardening, etc. gets disposed of quickly. I do not allow anything to litter the floors of my house uncontained by a bag.

    I have moved house many many times. A few times it has been into a junkpile house left behind by some other player. Its kind of fun cleaning up that kind of mess, mainly of course because everything picked up is new free stuff that came with the house. (the house I am in now had many full bags and even four icons in it when I bought it)

    I could never "live" in that sort of mess. Bags are cheap once you have your first few hundred thousands of currants. It just makes good sense to use them to organize. Named bags make it easy to then find anything needed and get rid of everything else.

  • I own a 50k house and I'm kinda OCD about organization....

    I tend to leave neat heaps of stuff on the ground because it's easier to find/drop/pick up.

    Top floor: crops, herbs, bubbles, spice, gas, raw ingredients, food
    Middle floor: gems, music boxes, emblems
    Bottom floor: still, feeders, collectors

    My inventory bags are super organized and I have multiples in each colour:
    green - crops, milk, meat, wheat,
    blue - cooked foods, drinks, canned goods
    brown - gems, earthy things like peat or loam etc, music boxes
    pink - emblems
    grey - powders, keys, scripts

    Green toolbox: gardening, mining, alchemy,
    Red toolbox: cooking, gas

  • Organize?  That sounds familiar somehow.  Oh yes, I remember now.  Once upon a time everything was in my small crap cabinet and life was good.  I could feed and pet my animals and trees and then I was out the door and on a Quest.

    Lately I live in a huge semi-organized Hoard of items.  Maybe I could be featured on that TV show.  No matter how well I organize, it all goes to that "other" place when I Harvest and unload my bags of ores, soils, herbs, etc.  Nearly every inch of my cottage is full of things.  I do have a number of bags (both sizes) that are named appropriately and filled with various items.  The crap cabinet which used to have one item per slot now has one bag in most slots and an odd item or so in the remaining slots.  out in my garden are various piles of items:  Earth, Loam, Sparkly, Beryl, Metal, etc.  I can't leave anything edible out there because of the piggies.  I recently discovered that it matters not, the piggies sneak in the house when I am gone.  I know this because I have an extra meat collector in the house and when moving things around recently I noticed it was Full!  I wonder if they eat out of the Food bags?

  • I piled everything in 2 corners hidden by grass. It makes loading kinda crappy if you're lagging. I'm working on the bag thing though. But for now everything is thrown into the corner except herbs and emblems have their own pouch and hide in my cabenet

  • My stacks would fill too many bags too quickly. I leave everything out where I can see it and go shopping for whatever is necessary. A tour of my house, left to right, top to bottom: 

    Seeds in front of garden, all crops organized by rainbow colors across top floor, special items (GNG, Glitchmas cards from friends, a couple completed games) to the far right.

    Gems balanced on balcony rail, still (with piles of potatoes and hooch) to left of pole, pantry and bar ingredients, and a pile of random kindnesses by door for easy replenishing on the way out on the second floor.

    Animal pen with feeders and collectors and max animals (talk about lag! :P ), icons in front of trees with stacked emblems awaiting iconization to right, sorted stacks of herbs/seeds/potions, sorted stacks of all building materials and basic resources. Bag with keys, stacks of Flaming Humbabas, alchemy and element bags, and empty bags in the cabinet. A few of the old-style tree poisons and antidotes along with some various powders under the rightmost tree.

    It might look messy, but I have everything I could possibly need to make everything in the world!

  • I just have piles of stuff around, as I like to see what's in which pile. Crops in one pile, fruits in other etc. Atm I only have two chickens around because the holiday break demanded the lives of my other critters so I no longer have to worry about filling the feeder and collecting from the collectors, not to mention I can store food wherever without having to worry about the pigs snacking on it. So yeah, my place is somewhat a mess, but still a controlled one :)

  • Stacked piles on the floor, for easy access. Mostly organized by categories, albeit perhaps odd ones, e.g. "Wavy Gravy pre-cursors" :)

  • My 50k is chaotic from an outsiders stand point but it makes me happy. Im a special OCD haha.
    But here it is:

    Garden area: seeds and stacked up pretty and neat and the distiller (gotta hide it =P=P)

    top floor: fruits, veggies, other raw ingredients on left organized into stacks. On right all the ingredients I need for awesome stew- beans and cabbage and such lined up for easy access cooking bag is dropped next to that.

    Middle floor- under shelf- anything in a jar or bottle like milk or sauce or hooch. No idea why but I like it that way. =) to left in "living room" area- anything inedible like peat and such.

    outside- feeder and other RHK objects in the pen with chickens and pigs. Haybales everywhere for decoration.

    Under house- blockmaker and other misc. I keep it like a basement lol.

    My cabinet has only music blocks. Im collecting them the hard way, waiting to actually collect each one instead of buying them and I have one of each that I've collected so far in there.

    my bags are like this: square meals: awesome stews and other higher level foods, more food: random other food I collect from trees. Basically emergency food. Two bags that I use for misc and organize as I go. Emblem bag. Toolbox. "overflow" bag. And a donation bag. Mostly to collect music blocks I already have to keep them out the way so I can dump them in a shrine.

    A pan of my house.  Funny how it almost looks neat in this image.  It at least looks better here than it seems when I am there.

  • rotfl... when I started this game I heard horror stories of disorganisation and so was panicked into being neat from the start and it's a habit that I now can't get out of. If I have a glut of stuff, I sell it or give it away. There is nothing on the floor of my 15k cottage, any stuff is in orderly bags in the cupboard. I can put my two Icons on the floor with little flowers and jewels in front of them and give the Giants the homage they deserve. In the garden I have my Hooch making Still out and a Milk Collector up at the top where they don't look too bad, one chicken for hatching eggs and 4 butterflies that don't really interfere with the gardening. If I haven't hoed the used plots it's a bad day. I am like this nowhere else - my real life house is not so neat *laughs again*

  • It's impossible to be neat with the lack of storage and the way things just splat into untidy heaps when you drop them. I find myself with piles of things in a trail from the front door to the end of the garden. I try to have designated piles but it goes awry when I am busy. My cupboard is full of wood, it makes such a messy pile otherwise. Love being able to make bales, it gives me such a sense of satisfaction to see the grain all neat and tidy. Just wish I could sit on the bales with a cocktail when my jobs are done :D

    Really looking forward to the new houses, hopefully we will have more storage and I can at least try to get organised. Maybe.
