I'm utterly disgusted with all the dumpster interactions. I've used MCCC to make it so none of it happens autonomously in my game. I don't want to see my sims rummaging through trash. It's gross and not at all realistic to real life.

The meat wall will most likely be completely ignored in my game as well.

I think it's great that so many people here apparently live in very wealthy areas, but seeing people rummaging through trash is an everyday occurance where I live. And they are not homeless people either. People are specifically rummaging for returnable bottles which will get a refund of between 15- 25 cents at the grocery store.

Same here! While I dont dumpster dive and my husband drink enough sodas that we dont need to search the neighborhood for cans, if I see some discarded objects left out on the curb for trash pickup, you can bet Im going to see what looks interesting. In fact, a good amount of objects we have in the house were found this exact same way. And dont get me started on tag sales. One man's trash is another man's treasure indeed.

And I just think its a bit ignorant to claim that dumpster diving and bug eating arent "realistic" and I can make a few guesses as to what kind of bubbles people making these claims live in. Sure eating insects is not a common thing where I live, but I know for a fact that there are countries and cultures where eating insects is nothing out of the ordinary. And if you know what to look for, insects are packed with amazing amounts of protein. And dumpster diving? I can look outside my window right now and see our neighborhood homeless guy picking through the trash. My area isnt bad, nor is it spectacular, and seeing homeless folks going through dumpsters is a common sight. But to say that that's not "realistic"... Oof. You might as well say that because you have a house, homelessness does not exist.
