Re: "Hanging Out Plant Pot" wrongly Categorized

Maybe someone from the studio or someone familiar with or close to the decision making process could chime in here. There must be a reason they put this under Miscellaneous Decorations rather than Indoor Plants.

 

Idk, I think I find the category of Indoor Plants limiting for this item. Consider the Bamboo from the Yoga hobby - why is this item in Miscellaneous Decorations and not Indoor Plants?

Thanks for including my Reddit comments in this thread @ani_fl00. I appreciate your thoroughness.

 

Not to belabor the topic, but I meant to share this earlier. Just a few examples of plants found in other categories.

It occurred to me that there must be some kind of hierarchy that the studio uses in order to categorize items. For example, with the "'Drier, Drier' Plants Drier", is it a plant first or a wall decoration first? Which is its more important function? It appears the studio has decided that it is a wall decoration first and foremost.

 

The same seems to go for the "Hanging Out Plant Pot". Since it serves as a ceiling decoration, they've decided that that is its main function (more so than just being a plant). Of course, because there is no Ceiling Decorations category, this must be why they've included it in Miscellaneous Decorations. Just a guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

First time I was looking for it went straight to the Indoor plants category. Thinking
