If you are high enough in gardening skill your sim can take cuttings. Taking cuttings 3 times will kill the trash plant. You can then go into game cheats on and set as head a trash can on your sim and thow it away. Follow the instructions as described in this video: https://youtu.be/vegZFFFaRbI

Also every sim that comes to my apartment can't leave. Using another family member to go to any other lot on the neighborhood causes the plant to vanish from existence, thus making it impossible to get rid of it by this method. calling anybody to my house they apear instantly out of the elevator thus making it also impossible to deal with this plant.

@Turzeen I've merged your post into this thread, since it looks like the same issue.

Try to turn testingcheats on, shift click on the ground outside and teleport out to destroy the plant with splicing from the outside.

Its pet poop. from any pet, yours or a stray. solution is to pick up the poop before it grows into a trash plant, or delete the trash plant once it grows. I dont see this as a bug.

Its related, yes. Also i think it'll be productive if someone look at this "one square entrance" problem, as it can potantialy happen with any spawnable, like crates with snow globes and ETC. and also why this trash plant grows there if there isnt any pet in the neighborhood or garbage near or inside the lot? I also think that only brindleton bay spawn random pets as "pedestrians" (they are called townies arent they? idk)
