It’s probably been wished a thousand times, but anyway…
My inconvenience: So for example I have a tablet in my backpack. I want to read the newspaper on it, because the wish popped up. I don’t see a good reason why I have to first take it out, then rotate the camera around to click on it, and finally I can actually read it. And it’s even more inconvenient when I’m already doing something else, and want to queue reading the book: now I have to sit and wait until my zoi is finally done making a fishing rod (which takes a while,) then the tablet comes out, and then I must manually choose to read the book. And if autonomy is on, I probably miss my window of opportunity, ‘cause he decided to do something else and put it back in the bag.
The game already knows how to chain a pre-requisite option. E.g., I don’t have to manually click to take the ingredients out of the fridge, then click to knead the dough, then click to bake the cake. I just click on the oven to bake a cake, and the game automatically does the prerequisites of taking the ingredients out and kneading.
I would like the same to apply to items in the bag. Just let me click on the tablet in the bag and choose to read the book, or on the muffin in the backpack and choose to eat it. The game is perfectly capable of automatically generating the step of taking it out.
Frankly, the whole thing strikes me as about as silly as asking me to explicitly click that I want to take you-know-what out of the pants before taking a piss at the toilet

I agree. My Zois sometimes lose their tablets because they put them somewhere, while I don’t watch them. It would be better if we could use a tablet without being necessary to take it out and Zois autonomously put it in the bag after reading

I found out how they lose them. They… throw them in the trash can

This could be the explanation why the houses have the ‘dirty’ effect, it seems all objects that a Zoi can put in their inventory cause this issue.

Yeah, we even had a bug report about tablets going into the thrash. As I was saying there, at one point I was resigned to just buying an average of about a new tablet a season just to keep the totals up.
Lately, though, they all seem to go into their bags instead. For me, anyway. I wonder if it’s because I started only using outdoors garbage cans even indoors. Maybe they’re prevented from throwing them out at the park? Or maybe it’s just a coincidence.
Of course that doesn’t stop you from losing them to guests who put the tablet in their inventory. Or grandma having 3 tablets in her bag when she dies. I guess the old lady ain’t giving up on her Candy Crush addiction even in the afterlife

As I was saying in the dirty house thread, I just tried, and tablets don’t move the house cleanliness bar at all.

Turns out that LennyOgg was right after all.

It seems this issue is not limited to just this one scenario.
My Zois often throws half-finished (or completed) cakes into the trash while baking. Before I discovered this problem, my shop had been operating at a loss for a long time.
