How to rename "crap" cabinets?

Does everyone with a small house have their storage pre-named "crap trophy case" and "crap 2x6 cabinet"? I'm wondering if this was a whim of the previous owner and I'm just being obtuse about being able to change this. I've tried to figure it out in-game and by searching the forums/wiki with no luck.

Otherwise, if those are factory settings for the house and unchangeable -- dear game devs, any chance you could either give them a slightly less demeaning name, or let the home owner change the cabinet name as one can with bags? I was lucky enough to find a cottage that's modest but adorable, but every time I go there the name of the cabinets makes me sad :(  I realize this shows a lack of emotional resilience on my part, but it just seems like an unnecessarily negative way to describe my teensy furniture.

  • Thanks for posting this. I have a 4K treehouse in Besara and my furniture is also "crap," which had me wondering the same thing as you if there was a way to change it. My suspicion is that this is going to come into play when they finally release the long-hinted-at update that will let us decorate/update our houses, but until then, I agree it's a little sad to mock us with bad furniture we can't change.

    Or, only keep guano in your cabinet, and then it's just factual. :)

  • It is on part of the devs, they named the lowest of the cabinets "crap" I suppose. I never notice though and I spend most of my time in my house... eep...

  • Good idea for keeping guano in the cabinet -- but don't forget making sure to display only guano-related trophies!

    The trophy case name is even sadder than the cabinet's IMO. I want to stand there beaming with pride at my two (2) little trophies :D and then I accidentally mouse over the case and I'm all D:

  • I am just a kid and i don't like the names. I agree that we should be able to change the names.

  • If you are a kid you shouldn't play this game, as it clearly states when you register.

  • Haha, Catalina. I had the same problem in my old treehouse. :( As everyone said, you're stuck with the crap furniture... until they update it so we can change the furniture! But yeah, it's annoying. I really liked my old treehouse, and was a bit resentful that everything in it was "crap". I didn't think it was crap!

  • I noticed that when I moved into my treehouse. It is kind of sad! Just pretend they're from Ikea and those are the Ikea names :)

  • The treehouse furniture was designed by Hans Crap, master woodworker and teacher of Gustavus Stoeckel. Stoeckel (who later went by the name Stickley) had something like our treehouses in mind when he wrote:

    "There are elements of intrinsic beauty in the simplification of a house built on the log cabin idea. First, there is the bare beauty of the logs themselves with their long lines and firm curves. Then there is the open charm felt of the structural features which are not hidden under plaster and ornament, but are clearly revealed, a charm felt in Japanese architecture....The quiet rhythmic monotone of the wall of logs fills one with the rustic peace of a secluded nook in the woods."

  • if you are offended by the word crap at 14+.....you'd better not go outside your house ever again haha (or watch tv)

  • Lol at the idea of just storing guano there.. XD

    I agree though, it doesn't offend me but I've wondered why we can't change it... -_-

  • @Joscor So, i wouldn't really consider 14+ to be a kid, I guess. I also wouldn't expect a 14 year old to be offended by the word "crap". So I'm just assuming they're younger than that.

  • The "kid" didn't state they were offended. They said they didn't like the name, much like the OP. :)

    Also, Cräp made me LOL

  • @desdemona, the poster who self-identified as "a kid" didn't say they were offended by the word "crap"; they just said they didn't like it -- same as everyone else here is agreeing.

  • Bumped for making me LOL like crazy!

    Hmmm, perhaps Thomas Crapper had something to do with the cabinets?

  • Apparently, they were going to call all the furniture Chippendale, but were worried people might be offended by the nudity.
