[…] and shoes under clothing. In other words, the categories that I suggested in my articles, “My Private Decorating Wars” and “My Private Wardrobe Wars”. This is actually how we shop for items, not by […]

I totally agree.

As with the Wardrobe, the classification for the Furniture is a mess. Like you, I also have a ton of furniture, and love to decorate (and redecorate) my apartments, and find the furniture categories very frustrating…especially Ornaments!

Even if it was extra work, I would love to classify my own furniture and wardrobe and I think I lot of users would. Sony could offer users to use the Default settings for the Wardrobe and Furniture, or for users to make their own own categories (with an option to reset to default, of course).

I hope Sony will address this in the near future.

Although I am allergic to vacuum cleaning in RL, I love decorating my apartments.

I think a closet or junk room would be a good thing to have for things I either bought (I wonder why) or was rewarded that I have little use for. Plus it would speed up loading, yes?

Nice article.

Since Sony and Developers have used the present system for years, it might be as well to let it continue for stores and the Add>Organize activities. Also, I doubt they could come up with another classification that would be satisfactory to the majority of users.
Where Dr_Do_Little’s suggestion of letting us have our own personal classifications is really needed is in our personal wardrobes and furniture inventories, for retrieval. If we could have numbers or letters for grouping items (as we now “heart” favorites or “grey” storage choices) we could each do our own classifications using the same identifiers. Under Ornaments I could set plants, artwork, holiday items, or whatever where another would perhaps do sports equipment, weapons, game-related items, and so forth.
Under Legs, I might do bathing suits, shorts, skirts, capris, slacks where another might do sports, casual, dressy, formal, as each preferred.
This means each would have to write down the key and definition but I would much prefer to do the additional work rather than use a system which frustrates me. I think most true collectors (sounds better than some other nouns) would agree.

Again, as with the wardrobe, I think a part of the solution would be custom classification. Let us add our own custom tag on items.
And ornaments… what a mess! Theres probably a dozen sub-categories possible there.
