Bummer - was hoping to recycle the piles of diplomas

Some of my sims have their inventory filled with diploma duplicates. Game says the items can neither be sold nor deleted. I was hoping that they could be recycled, but no. They are not showing in my sim's inventory list.

Any good idea how to make use of them? Can they be sold in a retail shop? "Relics, 2nd hand and old diplomas, Inc."?

I guess I can move that sim to another lot, hang the diplomas on a wall, then move out and demolish the lot. But I hope there is an easier way.

Can you gift them?

@Simmerville have you tried dragging them to a trash can or putting them through the recycler? I get that "cannot be sold or deleted" thing too with food in refrigerator but can drag them just fine to a trash can.

Have you tried burning them? Or use them as fertilizer? If all else fails, you could decorate her bathroom with them, make it a feature and pretend they're photocopies. Or put them up in a room and enforce the Sharing is Caring NAP.

Have you tried going into world manage and building a wall on a empty lot. Then having your sim place the diplomas on the wall, sending the sim home, and checking their inventory to make sure they stayed on the wall. After your sim gets home going back into world manage and bulldozing the lot? I know it's a lot of load screens but it may get rid of unwanted inventory.

Thanx! I can't access household inventory while on other lot, and I don't think they can be moved to personal inventory. Will try though :)

Put them on the wall and go to cheat mode and shift click them and select destroy and they should disappear.

Yay - was able to gift the diploma to NPCs! They were sooo grateful to receive such a nice gift,. and I assume my sim even got influence points from gifting.

That would be smart, because gifting gives influence points. I must try that!

"Here have my useless diploma." XD So sorry but I just chuckled.

Ha ha!

I tried recycling them on the machine, but they were not listed from inventories.

I also built a wall in the apartment, then returned to world view and entered the apartment buy "Build". Then used sledgehammer to delete the wall, but even if the household was not active, the diplomas were again sent to the household inventory...

They probably do nothing bad hanging in there, it's just making the one diploma on her office wall feel a bit less exclusive as there exist 30 more in that storage... ;)
