Please return functionality to inventories tracking items/addons over 999!

I would like to push a suggestion to revert the most recent to inventories. They now incorrectly display the # of items/addons as '999+' when at 1000 or higher. Here are a few reasons why I think it would be good to revert this:

  1. The player's sense of progression is now lost: Now as a player I am losing track of how many items and addons I have, whereas before I had a precise idea. It used to be a sort of fun, relaxing mini-game outside of the actual game to manage and keep track of things. I'd stop using certain addons if I dipped too low, but now I can't do that.
  2. The player loses goals to work towards: I was working towards getting 3000 fingernails and now I have no idea how or when I will hit that goal. I can't even have it as a goal anymore without resorting to spreadsheets outside the game.
  3. This would be a fairly lightweight reversion to do: It is clear that the game engine is somehow tracking the actual number of items, since if it were not, it would not know when to display the +. So only the player has lost something.

I am not sure why this change was made, but it directly makes things less fun for me and so I am making this post!

    Agreed. On the plus side, I do feel less inclined to horde my addons. Now I dont fret when I use an ink ribbon and the number doesnt technically decline lol. But dont get me wrong, I want the precise value displayed too.

    I'm doing a lot of challenges with my community where we collect items/add-ons/offerings and this change completely killed it. Please please please revert this change. I've played this game for over 9k hours and I want to show and know how much I earned in that time. Where's the point in grinding if I don't know how much I've gotten?

    PLEASE REVERT THIS CHANGE!

    What a disappointing change. I'm not sure who thought this was necessary, but collecting as many items as possible with my P100 was one of the few fun incentives left. There really isn’t much else that makes having a P100 feel rewarding. Games are supposed to be fun—please consider reverting this change.

    Please reconsider this change! It made the game so boring…
