[NOT BUG] Sims complain about smelly stuff although nothing is dirty

My Sim is complaining about dirty plumbing. How do I fix that? I tried clicking every sink, tub, and shower and the clean option isn't available. I even tried to use a service, but there wasn't anything available except for a maid.

Does anyone know how to clean the plumbing? lol.

I'm going to mark this as solved as I believe there's always a reason for the moodlet.

Trying to summarize

Spoiled food in inventory

Bad Fish in fish tanks

Popcorn machine (even if nothing looks spoiled)

Some hidden left over plate somewhere

Fridge or any of the machines with spoiled food in it.

Broken Washing Machine

Another thing it could be is when your sim is eating and your dog is begging for food there is an option to give your dog some food. Your sim puts down a little piece of what your eating on the floor, if the dog doesn’t eat it your sim will get the “dirty surroundings” moodlet. I went to build mode to move the rugs around to see if there was trash underneath them and sure enough there was a piece of food intended for the dog under there causing the moodlet. Hope this helps anyone who needs it 🙂

I know this is old, but I'm replying in case anyone is reading this thread. Check the shelves and any dog leash racks. I thought I had a glitch until I found a ridiculous amount of old plates on top of the dog leash rack. My Sims don't seem to be capable of cleaning anything!

This is very old I realise now however, in my part the problem was the washing machine. Turns out it was broken and when I clicked on it the option "Repair Plumbing" popped up. I just made my sim repair the plumbing and they didn't have the moodlet anymore after using the shower etc.

@saladbowls Thanks for that info. I'm going to move this to General discussion as it's not a bug, just different things that cause it and are sometimes hard to find.
