Product: The Sims 4Platform:Sony Playstation 4Which language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.93What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? AllSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim be next to a Pressure Cooker or Kettle.What happens when the bug occurs? The sim gets a “Unpleasant Surroundings“ Moodlet What do you expect to see? The sim to not get a Unpleasant Surroundings Moodlet around a clean Pressure Cooker or Kettle.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No I see in the patch notes that , For Rent Property Ownership of “Tam Nang Sands“ lot will be recognized in the owned rental tab. “Unpleasant Surroundings“ Moodlet no longer triggered from the Pressure cooker and Kettle. Tourist location icons will now appear correctly when hovering over the Tomarang world select screen. But for me my sims still get the “Unpleasant Surroundings“ Moodlet.

All Packs, expansions, kits etc

Same problem. There is nothing in the crockpot but it emits green smoke & upsets my sim (no they do not have the neat trait). If I drag the crockpot into my inventory and get it out again it temporarily fixes it until someone uses it again.

@LokisMinx Do you have a moodlet or just the reaction ?

@naveyonce Could you try deleting the kettle and pressure cookers ? They still seem to cause issues.

Check if it goes away if you do that.

I had the same problem some time ago with the living room, that the surroundings are filthy. I moved furniture, looked for dirty dishes, broke walls and ceilings, ordered a meid, then ordered a butler, nothing helped. I couldn't find anything anywhere. And then one day when autumn turned to winter, I changed the decorations - I found the problem :D The problem was a decorative pumpkin that I had put in the pickup truck rear in the garage, which was on the other side of the living room wall - outside. I deleted the pumpkin and everything was fine again. I hope I was of some help, because this situation drove me crazy for about a month every time I tried to play. <3

@naveyonce I merged your post with the main thread. May I ask what platform you are playing on ?

This has been happening since My Wedding Stories with the Tea Sets. It'd carried over to the appliances from For Rent.
I've used a mod to stop sims complaining, but it doesn't fix the bugged appliances. Some sims which are guests may still autonomously clear them up as if dirty dishes. Unfortunately, that's of no help on console even if of minimal help on PC.

I've been having this problem as well with a kettle. Even if I get rid of it and get a new one, the moodlet comes back. Annoying this isn't properly fixed
