July 2nd, 2021 here. I have been also experiencing this issue on my PC game recently (64bit not legacy ed.), maybe for about a week? (No mods). Randomly, the outside trash can just stops working. I'll go to have my sim empty the indoor trash and it says there needs to be an outside bin. There is one. But I can't interact. Debug reset usually fixes it, picking it up and placing it again, deleting and replacing it. But it happens continuously as I'm playing, not just like when loading into a game or coming back from a lot (which would make more sense, like a genuine cause and effect): I'm talking 3 times within 40 minutes (real time) of playing strictly live mode in the house. Whether I just opened my game, or whether I've been in-game for hours. Happened a few times with the indoor ones as well (namely the barrel style trash, which is the only one I use and can report on) but not as frequently. Go to clean a toddler's potty and it says there's no available trash can. Upon inspection, the can is not full and cannot be interacted with. Same fix as outdoor can, but I don't want to keep interrupting my play to debug all my bins. Maybe related: also experiencing this issue with wash machines and dryers. Necessary items such as these appear to keep going bunk with seemingly no rhyme or reason. Hoping the team can find the cause of this bug. I can list my packs and such if necessary, I'm happy to help define this issue. Potentially relevant: I place most items when building with alt-place rather than snap, but still follow the natural alignment of the grid (where the item would snap to, I alt-place it in the same spot). Not sure if that has anything to do with it (probably not)? Cheers~
This just started happening to me after the last update. Any solutions? I’m in Origin and PC.
