Re: [FIXED] Can't clean dishes cause of missing trash can (there is one)

Is it an ongoing problem or just occasional? Because I frequently get “trash can required” or even “trash can or sink required” but then just need to wait 30 seconds and try again and it will work. Might have something to do with what’s in the Sims queue, possibly more frequent if the Sim is on stairs? But not an ongoing consistent problem.

A while back I remember there was a bug where trash cans just stopped working altogether on some lots. Seemed to happen more often for me on places with a lot of pet hair. I managed to clear one lot by buying the indoor trash can that eats/recycles trash and then manually dragging and dropping every bit of trash and every empty plate I could find into it. Once the lot had no trash on it at all, Sims were able to use the trash normally again.
