Decoration Palette
The Decoration Palette is a window that lists information about all of the decorations in your current location. If you are on your Lot, it will list all the decorations on your lot (including decorations in your house). If you are in your Basement or in your Player Dungeon, it will list the decorations from the corresponding location.
To Display the Decoration Palette, click on the Window Selector icon in the upper right of the game window, then click on "Decoration Palette".
Content of the Decoration Palette
The Palette window lists the following information about each decoration:
- The decoration name
- Whether the decoration is visible or hidden (see below)
- The Coordinates of the decoration
- The weight of the decoration
- The value of the decoration
The window also shows several bar graphs, each being a representation of how much of your Decoration Limits that have been used (hovering your mouse over the bar graph will show a numerical representation of your usage). The bar graphs show usage for
- NPCs
- Containers
- Objects
- Light Sources
Visible Versus Hidden Items
The items in the palette can be in either of the following states:
- Visible - decorations that are placed into the environment in you lot, house, basement, or dungeon will automatically be added to the palette list and designated as "Visible".
- Hidden - decorations that are placed directly into the palette (by dragging them into the palette list) are designated as "Hidden". Hidden decorations are not located anywhere in the environment (thus their coordinates are shown as 0,0,0). In other words, a hidden decoration is not an item that that has been placed in the environment and then made invisible; it is an decoration that has been placed directly into the palette (which means it will not show in the environment).
Using the Hidden Decoration Feature
Using the Hidden decoration feature can be helpful when doing extensive decoration in a location.
You can put all the decorations directly into the palette (which puts the in them in the "Hidden" state), then sort the palette to show hidden items (click the down-arrow in the drop down-box and select "Hidden Decorations Only"), then decorate by dragging each item from the palette to the environment. If you are interrupted during the decoration process, when you return you simply open the decoration palette and continue decorating.
Finding A lost Decoration
This palette can be very helpful if you cannot find an item on your lot (such as when you forget what container an item is in, or when an item disappears). You can search for the item in the decoration palette window, then simply drag the item out of the window and into your inventory (which moves the item from the lot/basement/dungeon and into your inventory). Note: a lost decoration is still considered "Visible" by the Decoration Palette because the lost item is still in the environment (it may just be obscured).
