Allow bags to open without moving from cabinets

As one of those many people with 200 or more sdb's I got to thinking about the main reasons we love them so much and what could be improved to make cabinets more useful.

Of course being able to put sdb's into cabinet slots would be nice but if that is not an option then what are some other good alternatives?

Although sdb's primary greatness is their huge capacity for storing items, how many of us have dozens of sdb's with not even enough items to fill a large bag? I know I do because it makes accessing the items much easier than having to drop a bag, take one out of cabinet, transfer contents to another bag, put bag back in cabinet, pick other bag up! Whew, I'm losing energy just thinking about it!

Having walls filled with sdb's may be cool for some but for many its just a convenient way to store out hoards and its not always the prettiest way that we would like to decorate our houses so we sacrifice aesthetics for convenience. As our sdb walls grow, so does our house lag and it kinda cuts into the convenience part when we have to wait for our sdb's to render all those images  before we can even take our first step!

So some options I have thought of are...

Lets have single item bags with lower capacity than sdb's that i can access while in the cabinet just like an sdb.

Let me open my bags without taking them out of the cabinet

Lets have "Clear Plastic Bags" that show an image on the bag itself of the item in the first storage slot.

If any or all of these ideas were implemented I would start tearing down some of my sdb wall and getting those items inside cabinets, reducing house lag, freeing up wall space for some more creative decorating and making the game much more enjoyable!

  • Yes yes to opening cabinet bags.

  • Or at least being able to view their contents or a list of contents so we can tell whether that's the bag we want to remove and fiddle with.

  • +1.  Love cabinets, hate dropping and picking up bags to get at what's inside.

    I know TS is not big on the SBD's within cabinets idea (and I can understand that), but what about allowing Cabinet Slots to hold more than a single stack of something (maybe a quarter or eighth of what an SBD can hold)? 

    You could then drag and drop directly into closed cabinets and see what you were looking for when they are open. Yay!

    I'd even be happy if you had to craft something to make each slot work in this way - shelf liners maybe?

  • +1 Yes! Love it, i am always fumbling around with my many bags in the cabinet.  It takes me forever to find what i am looking for and even when i do find it i have to take out that 1 item and then open the cabinet again, put the bag back in and get the other one out.  It's just a huge pain.

  • +1 I want this! Or even just the ability to drag an item into a bag in the cupboard without taking it out.
