Changes

The '''inventory''' consists of the contents of the player's backpack. Its slots provide the player with immediate access to certain items and travel with the player around the map. This access is crucial to game play, for it defines the list of items the player can work with while attending to game activities. It is an important element of game play to ensure that the inventory contains the items needed for all tasks at all times. Its size limit can present challenges in planning and enforce changes in the order to which things must be done.

The '''Inventory''' consists of the contents of the player's backpack. It allows the player to carry items as they travel around the map.

The player has immediate access to only the twelve slots on the upper row of the inventory when interacting with objects or NPCs on the map. These 12 slots are the entire inventory at the start of the game. The extra slots added by upgrading the backpack do not grant the same access, but simply add to the number of items that can travel with the player.

The inventory is organised into rows of 12, and the player starts with one row initially available. One row can be selected at a time to provide immediate access to items and equipment, and this subsection of the inventory is commonly referred to as the hotbar. It is possible to select different items in the hotbar for use by using pressing the number key associated with that slot, or using the scroll wheel.

To gain immediate access, items must be moved from the lower row(s) into the upper row. This function is available from the pause menu (press ESCAPE or E), leftmost tab, sometimes called the '''inventory menu'''. This menu displays the entire contents of the backpack and gives the player the means to move items around inside (or split or combine stacks) while the clock is paused. The player can also pick one slot of the front row, whose contents are then in hand when the game resumes, ready to be used at the next mouse click.

The game menu (press {{Key|ESCAPE}} or {{Key|E}}), displays the entire contents of the backpack in its leftmost tab. For this reason it is sometimes called the '''Inventory Menu'''. The hotbar is shown as the top row of this menu, and if upgraded the other rows will be shown below it. This menu gives the player the means to move items between the slots inside the backpack, or to split or combine stacks of items. To select one item in a stack using mouse & keyboard, right-click on it. To divide the stack in half, shift + right-click on it. ''(See also: [[Controls]], [[Mobile Controls]].)'' Note that in singleplayer, opening the inventory menu pauses the clock.

Certain game activities give the player access to the entire inventory while they are in operation. These include interacting with an open chest or a shop menu, or donating items at the [[Community Center]] or [[Museum]]. Controls change somewhat during these activities. Moving items within the inventory is often restricted, and a mouse click on an inventory item can sell it to a shopkeeper (with no undo), so careful control is required for guaranteeing one's intended actions.

 

Certain game activities that involve transferring items give the player access to the entire inventory. These include interacting with an open [[chest]] or a shop menu, or donating items at the [[Community Center]] or [[Museum]]. Items that cannot be sold to a shop or donated will be greyed out (note that [[Pierre]] and [[Willy]] will only buy back items pertaining to their respective type of shop). Controls change somewhat during these activities. Moving items within the inventory is often restricted, and a mouse click on an inventory item can sell it to a shopkeeper, so careful control is required for guaranteeing one's intended actions.

The "Large Pack" (which is red) expands inventory to 24 slots and costs {{Price|2000}}. The "Deluxe Pack" (which is blue) expands inventory to 36 slots and costs {{Price|10000}}. Once both backpack upgrades have been purchased, the "For Sale" sign on the shelf disappears.
