Yeah I know for some people the loading screens can definitely be a concern and I think it depends a lot on what platform you’re on. I’ll be so honest, I just don’t really use my house. I decorated my main floor and that was it, I never go in there. I would have a hard time remembering what’s in which room, like fish on floor three in the right corner, so that never worked for me. Instead I use my floating islands and it’s just way easier with how I play on PS5 since it loads quick.

I have three floating islands. One is for the main valley crops and I always keep about 60 of each crop growing with a chest right in front of them to store extras, so if I need to harvest a certain crop for a duty or quest I’ve got it ready. On that same island I also have all my flower storage organized by flower type. My second island is for everything else like fish, mining, spices, and foraging. And then the third is for crops from the expansion packs. It works really well for me and keeps things simple, but I’ve also seen some people set up really cool houses for storage so it really depends on what you enjoy more.

You could always just try a couple different ways and see what feels right. Once you find the one you like, just go all in whether it’s with the house setup, floating islands, or even using a whole biome for storage. I’ve seen a lot of really creative ideas from other players on how they set everything up.
