How to Add a Character to Multiple Folders on Toyhouse

Adding a character to multiple folders on Toyhouse can be confusing at first. But don’t worry! It’s actually pretty simple once you know how. Let’s go step by step so you can organize your characters exactly the way you want.

Why Add a Character to Multiple Folders?

Sometimes, a character fits into more than one category. For example:

• You have a “Main Characters” folder and a “Fantasy Characters” folder, and the character belongs in both.
• You want a character to be in both the “For Sale” and “Trades” folders.
• You have story-specific folders and general organization folders.

Sadly, Toyhouse doesn’t let you put a character into multiple folders directly. But there’s a trick to make it work!

How to Add a Character to Multiple Folders

Since Toyhouse only allows a character to be in one folder at a time, you will need to use character links. This means creating links to the character in different folder categories.

Step 1: Create Folders

Before adding characters, make sure your folders are set up properly.

1. Go to your profile.
2. Click on Manage Characters in the left sidebar.
3. Click on Folders, then Create a New Folder.
4. Name the folder and set its visibility as needed.
5. Click Create.

Repeat this process for each folder you need.

Step 2: Copy the Character’s URL

Now, find the character you want to add to multiple folders.

1. Go to the character’s page.
2. Copy the URL from the browser’s address bar.

This will be used to manually link them in other folders.

Step 3: Use Folder Descriptions

Since a character can’t be in two places at once, we’ll use a simple trick.

1. Go to the first folder where you want the character.
2. Click Edit on the folder page.
3. In the description box, type something like:

Looking for [Character Name]?

You can find them here: Click Here!

Paste the character’s URL where it says your-character-link-here.

Step 4: Repeat for Other Folders

Now, go to the second folder.

1. Click Edit again.
2. Add the same kind of link in the description.
3. Save your changes.

This way, the character is now “inside” multiple folders through the power of links!

Bonus Trick: Use Character Listings

Another way to organize your characters without making duplicate entries is by using the character listing feature.

1. Go to Manage Characters.
2. Click on Character Listings.
3. Here, you can create lists that act like extra folders!

For example, you could make a list called “Beloved Characters” and add several characters to it. Although lists don’t show up like folders, they make browsing easier.

Alternative: Use Tags

If you don’t want to mess with folder descriptions, consider using tags instead.

1. Go to your character’s page.
2. Click Edit Profile.
3. Find the Tags section.
4. Add tags like Fantasy, Main Character, Adoptable.
5. Save changes.

Now when you search for that tag, your character will show up with others that share it.

Final Thoughts

Organizing your Toyhouse characters doesn’t have to be frustrating. While Toyhouse doesn’t allow multiple folders per character directly, these simple tricks—using links, lists, and tags—can help keep everything neat and easy to find.

Happy organizing!
