Dealing with DLC items at the start

[Scar]

Folks,

How is everyone dealing with the DLC items when you first start the game? I don't have the room, and not sure how to move them around so I'm not leaving a pile in front of my mailbox.

[Kargor]

I don't know how everyone does it, but you should be able to build a storage box pretty soon.

My hands and inventory are full of just DLC things. lol. I get the impression that those items shouldn't be picked up until you have places to put them in?

I'm guessing at this point I need to restart and not open my mailbox DLC until I have a place to store the stuff. :-)

What I did was move away from the mailbox, put on the outfit I liked, Gathered the wood for the storage, dumped clothes in and then picked up the rest. And then made another storage cause I think it filled the first one.

That's the smartest solution. It is a bit unfortunate that the dlc items take up so many inventory spaces.

In my second attempt after buying the DLC I simply left the outfits in the mail.
I didn't need them right away so they stayed in there until I had the storage boxes set up. Well hindsight is always 20/20.

Reload a game after 5 min of play feels a bit... Did you guys tested you game ? or should I refund it already ??

It is pretty unfortunate. The dlc was added away after release, but it would make more sense if the player received the items perhaps one week into the game or something like that.

That's no excuse, it's still complete rubbish.

That won't fix it either -- I don't know when I discovered storage boxes, but I think it was later than that. Yes, the game relies heavily on people getting information from external sources, but that's a design issue as well, not an excuse.

There are several ways it could be done. The DLC clothing could simply be "sold" by Carol for 0 gold, with a quest-like marker so players know their DLC is there.

Or the clothing could be delivered with or inside a storage box. The box could just be in the yard/house with a quest-like marker, instead of being in the mail.

Or the mail would not even offer the "accept" button unless you have a certain number of free slots -- and include additional text to tell you about this condition.

Or... or.... or.... I'm not even a game designer, and I've produced three possible solutions without even having to think about it.

Just go grab some wood and craft a wooden storage box at your worktable and just put the stuff in it, it's not complicated lol. I just left the mail with the swimsuit in the mailbox because that's not the outfit I wear but the others could fit in a single wooden storage.

It is quite rubbish. But I haven't got the data to verify whether the distributor isn't passing on information to the devs, or if it is the devs not reacting to the bug reports that have been posted here.

I've reposted the bug on Pathea's discord.

Would have been nice if they included a piece of furniture for your house that could store clothes or something like that. I have 3 wooden crates just for DLC clothing but I was pretty far into the game before I bought the DLC. I can't even imagine trying to deal with it at the beginning!

Perhaps if the DLC arrives in a suitcase you can put on the floor of the house or something. :-)

Anyway, knowing the issue, its easy to get around. Just caught me off guard.

[Precache]

I just got this issue, most new players will. Come on fix this guys.

[riggedIMO]

2 years later. still got the same issues. just started the game and can't continue because my inventory is full.

Way to punish the DLC buyers

[kyzaah]

Really wish there was a way to sell our DLC clothing ingame... don't understand why they made their prices so extraordinarily high when no shop has enough money to buy them...
