Endless Scrolling- Decorative Items

[Grumpka]

A giant headache has been the sad state of adding decorative items and such. If you have even one mod that contains 60 items, you are in for endless scrolling to find the object you want. This makes zero sense on count that so much of the other placeable/purchase items have much better organization and GUI options.

Seeing how many of us LOVE the custom in-game decorating aspect of fs22, the great tools we now have, it seems that the lack of better organization, custom categories, and a better object locator has all been overlooked.

I'm not a big discord user. Not even sure where Giant hosts feedback forums, but WOW, wish they'd see this and consider fixing the placement system for custom objects!

I know exactly that feeling, I like to have decorative stuff around when I do an area, from traffic cones, to trash, over filled skips, BBQ outdoor tables & chairs and scrolling is a pain. even some bridges I have appear in this list

I'm now nearly at the point of saying sod it, removing some mods except some essentials (bridges for one). my finger hurts with all the scrolling.

Glad at least one other person agrees, LOLZ. Figured that most heavy into the game must just suffer too. I love tractors. I love making a scenic pcs of property. So, FS22 seems like the perfect game! Right up until you realize, CRAP. It's not. ;)

and why can't products be listed alphabetically in screens such as sale prices

There's actually a mod for better organizing vehicles and such. I just saw it recently while looking for a way to mod the decorative add-on GUI. For whatever reason, looks like you can't edit the GUI for landscaping items. :(

i wish the items were in alphabetical order in decoration and also in landscaping, or even better if we could mark favorites to be in a favorites list for things. i use "meadow" in the landscaping tool more than any other plant and it gets so old when jumping around to then have to scroll all the way over to the meadow and find it again.

It' is insane! And, map making in Giant editor is lame! Overly complete for such simple things. Plus, honestly, nothing really built into editor to make it much more likable.

Is what it is! I hope some other company and dev team can take over the world of Farm sims and bring us into modern tech and game engines! The market is massive and seems like a no brainer for a profit center! Look at train sims! They are coming at us left and right from other folks who got sick of the same old crappy sims! Derail Valley is coming along great. Lots of smaller devs are killing it too! With Unreal and Unity, Devs have access to the latest and greatest tools and graphics! Devs/software companies using WAY outdated gaming engines from two decades ago? LAME!

Major issue I have with FS22 is the lack of a better GUI for organizing Landscape assets! You literally may have to scroll 20-30 times to find a single mod object in decorative!!! Can that system be modified? It is such a song and dance to add simple 3d placeable objects Giants editor! It's so overly complex and outdated! Wish 'they' would start over with a modern editor based on modern graphics cards and flexible GUI. Makes the game far less enjoyable when it comes to custom scenery unless you enjoy scripting, editing files, and so on. Modern engine should be nothing more than pick up a 3d asset from a free or source, drop it into the game. Done. These aren't animated objects in most cases. They just need to be placeable! Same for custom sound objects! Give me a break! It shouldn't take 20 or 30 minutes to tweaking around to make a custom sound placement object. It should be built in. File folder for custom sounds, a sound player placeable object, with dialog to select the sound file!

This software company could learn a lot by looking at modern game engines and games like Planet Zoo! Insanely FUN, insanely better graphics, insanely easy for game players to customize! Yet, we are stuck in 1990's game engine and mod tools with Farm simulator!

Maybe, better off adding tractors to Planet Zoo, LOL. :)
