To delete an object in the game, type in the cheat "testingcheatsenabled true," then, holding down the CTRL & shift keys, left click on the object. You will have the option to delete the item.

If a bill is "stuck" in a Sim's inventory, have you tried paying the bill at the mailbox???

    You cannot use the testingcheatsenabled true cheat for the Sims 4. For the Sims 4, I typed testingcheats true, held down the Shift key and left clicked on the object. You do not get an option to do anything. The dish cannot be removed because it is outside the boundary of the lot. If a Sim drops an object on the sidewalk, there seems to be nothing you can do about it. Eventually I will have to just delete that entire lot if the dish does not disappear. Thank you for trying to help me. If anyone knows the solution to this Sims 4 problem, please let me know.

    I should have mentioned this happened in the Sims 4. Sorry. The envelope (assuming it's a bill) that is stuck in a Sim's inventory is stuck. There is no option to pay bills when I click on the mailbox. You cannot even click on the envelope that is in their inventory to see what it is. If anyone has come across this little glitch, please let me know if you know the solution. Thanks.

        Thank you for directing me to the forum via the link you provided. Seems it's a bug but the game should clean it up. My Sim likes to take his food outside, so I moved the outdoors chair so it's not too close to the sidewalk. When he would see a neighbor, he would carry his food, then plop it on the ground to start up a conversation. This is without me even controlling him. Next time I see him get up to carry his food somewhere, I'm going to point to a chair to make him sit down. Whew! These smart Sims are a hand full. As for the mail stuck in a Sim's inventory, I'll just ignore it. Hope it's not a bill. Thank you again for your help.
