@Reekyteek When I tried that it didn't recognize the bin in game as useable by the sims. And we shouldn't have to go into buy mode to upright the bin.

I had this happen to me, I just went in to build mode and moved the can, then it defalulted back to the upright position

The trashcan is broken and doesn't even display that it's fallen even though I did see it look kicked over, but I'm assuming the object state got glitchedThere's also a mod that fixes this issue because it seems to affect every outdoor trashcan that has no lid, so it's worth maybe looking into it: https://modthesims.info/d/680883/no-lid-outdoor-trash-can-fix.html

[OPEN] No option to turn up the kicked Trashcan

Screencap of a totally different style bin on a different lot that was knocked over and can't be set upright again.

A ghost came to my lot and kicked my trash can over. I couldn't turn it back up, so I needed to sell it and buy a new one. I was playing in the vampire neighborhood living on the Widow -lot (don't know the English name for it but the maxis premade small house) which I had turned into haunted house.

Basically, the bug is that trash cans that aren't supposed to be able to be knocked over suddenly are. Because they are supposed to be unknockable, there is no option to right them up again. It's not a question of allowing us to pick up a knocked over trash can, but rather to fix the trash cans that are "stable" so sims can't knock them over anymore.

Hey,
I've just made saves (I'm not really sure which one is the correct one) with kicked trash bin. It's my first time sharing save from Sims 4, I hope I did it correctly 😉
[edit] even though the trash bin was lying kicked when I was making the saves, after I loaded a game it was standing as it should, but was still inactive like in ArcherAngelo description (the kicked trash bin was CanOFlage Outdoor Trash Receptacle)
[edit 2] the incidents of kicked unkickable trash can happened repeatedly in this save yesterday and today, so before and after patch from 27/04/2021
