So like. I'm making this suggestion about a thing I didn't even know EXISTED in any functioning form until the other day. A showcase is... well... a showcase. A little room to put items into, for either sales purposes or just as a place for collectors to show off. And it's a thing we have currently in-game. My friend Bear pointed it out to me, recently, and asked if I knew anything about them. It took me a second to even FIND what he was talking about. Finally, I spotted it at the bottom of my den page: Ohh, I see, that little button I completely ignore. Clicking on it gave me this screen: ...So, I figured it was broken. BUT, upon some digging, I found the wiki page for them here. All the images are horrendously broken, but the link at the top of the page works fine. And it leads directly to where you can make your showcase. The cost is a little steep, 4gb, but it's likely this hasn't been updated since roughly 2014-2015. In fact, my friend took it upon himself to open one up, and it just makes that theory even more viable. Image is clickable! ...Yeah. This is what we're looking at. It's uh... No offense, but it's archaic! The art is practically covered in cobwebs, and the buttons are kind of... Ahaha. We're not gonna worry about it. But it WORKS. That's the thing that's so shocking, it's almost like the option to pay 3sb to see your lion as the opposite sex. It's SO OLD and has gotten no attention in what feels like years. "So, Dogepauus, what are you even getting at? Where's the suggestion part?" Well, it's right here! I think that the showcase needs a revamp. It needs a new background and buttons, a fixed link, a lowered purchase price, and for people to actually know it EXISTS. I mean, think about it. Instead of slowly taking screenshots to all your hoard, bam. Everything you're offering for trade or sale can be in that showcase box. OR, say you're a collector like my friend. Wouldn't it be nice to show it all off? I think this is like, an actual good feature, I remember liking it in some other pet sims. So, yeah. TLDR, holy shit, these exist and actually have a (in my opinion, needed) in-game purpose, so why not fix them? Let me know what you think, if you support or don't, and why. Thank you! |

Just pitching in that the link to Showcases is currently bugged and has been forwarded to our coding team, who should be able to fix it whenever they get a chance. :) As for the rest of your suggestion, I definitely support. Showcases seemed to be introduced and then forgotten about, and it's unfortunate because their introductory news post back in 2014 mentioned the release of new layouts. They have a lot of potential, but they currently don't get much use and I do think it's because the link to access them doesn't work properly. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Thank you! <3 I'm glad you agree, especially on its potential! It would be great to see Showcases revamped and more known to the public. 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 22/09/19 @ 13:43:24 by dogepauus [Corrupt Queen] (#148444) |

Support! Having the option to 'check items to add to Showcase', like how we can mass check to burry/dig up items, would be helpful for those with large hoards they want to show off (just not one click at a time). <3 And I love that there's (apparently) an option to sort by how many of an item you have- does this mean I could finally display my stack of 360 Common Ravens? Hell yes! (If I hadn't crafted most of them, whoops) 0 players like this post! Like? |

Holy crap support! I've always assumed it was just a broken feature because I could never figure out how to use mine. I love your suggestion and would love for it to be updated. Especially for, like you mentioned, selling items from your hoard. Itd be so much easier to link to your showcase and remove things as they're sold than to screenshot everything and have to manually keep a list 0 players like this post! Like? |

Wow I totally forgot this was a thing. I say either fix it or ditch it entirely and refund any recent purchases 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 07/10/19 @ 14:32:25 by DevilTown 🚮 (#182743) |

Oh my goodness this thread is old but this has my 100% support. I was looking for something like this because I stumbled upon my showcase today and didn't really know much of it. I had always ignored the thing. Hopefully they don't get completely forgotten. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I hate to necropost but I definitely agree with this; I know it's probably not high on the list of priorities but this is exactly the thing I would love to have, even if it's just a basic page matching the rest of someone's selected site theme showing off what they have. The current art and cost is a bit much. 0 players like this post! Like? |
