The clothing paradox (aka, storage issues)

[Xynthymr]

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has hundreds of clothing items, with many colour options. Most players like to change their appearance regularly by using a Wardrobe, Fridge, Cooler etc. However, only items in your storage can be selected via the "Wardrobe" interface - it doesn't include items on your island lying on the floor.

Now the issue is, the game actually has more clothing items than the maximum storage 5,000 slots, so sooner or later you're going to have to choose what items you store for easy "Wardrobe" access, and what items to leave lying around.

This isn't good enough! Nintendo could and should do better! The very least I expect, and players deserve, is a storage system capable of holding ALL items obtainable in the game! Not only do item entities create severe lag, but it's unsightly, especially when one of the end goals of the game is to beautify your island!

Clothing storage should be separate from item storage. 5,000 would be ample for all other items in the game if clothing had its own separate storage system. Players should be given the ability to collect every item in the game if they so wish, without having to litter their island. For a game that has around 20,000 unique items, 5,000 storage is pathetic!

I agree with you but I just deal with this by buying items and selling them. So they're in my catalog and I can reorder them if I ever want to wear them. It would be nice to have more storage. I think ACNH handles clothing and furniture storage better than Dreamlight Valley (my other favorite cozy game) though. In that game I have so many things and can never remember what I have. One thing about ACNH that is much better is that you can sell things. I hate not being able to sell furniture in other games since I sometimes buy extra things by accident.

I see your point but I wonder if its even possible for them to give you that much storage. I feel like the game has a hard enough time letting me scroll through my 4,000 or so items But you can have other characters -- maybe use them for storage?
