Items vanishing in lots in eco lifestyle

Lilsimsie seemed to have this happen her yesterday. So odd. Haven’t seen it in my game yet but I’ll know to keep an eye out now.

Hmmm, what N.A.P. is active in your neighborhood? If it's "sharing is caring" then folks may have helped themselves to your stuff. Though I wouldn't think they'd be able to steal a dumpster...

Do any of your sims have the recycler trait? If you do and you don't recycle regularly, they'll recycle autonomously.

You mean that the recycling trait is like the kleptomaniac trait? They steal?!

It appears so. Except my sim can swipe even though he doesn't have that trait. He doesn't have the klepto trait, either. I'm not sure if it's tied to 'sharing is caring' because I don't know how that works.

Oye! Bad, bad Sims.

Uh-oh. They're gonna have to get this recycler trait under control. I just went to a community lot with a sim who swiped half the items while we were there. The counters are gone. Microwave. Desk w/computer, pillows on the floor... I don't even remember what all was originally there. It's a homeless shelter.

People who recycle do sometimes take items that aren't garbage, like scrap metal recyclers might take metal fences, lightning rod grounding wires, manhole covers, etc. Unfortunately the sims appear to recycle their own stuff. :neutral:

That sucks. My sim doesn't have the recycle trait, but I'm really starting to believe Sharing is Caring is at fault. Because multiple sims keep taking things from everywhere. I thought they would only take from residential lots (i.e., their neighbors.) Are they really supposed to take everything from community lots, too? That can't be right.

Check the Neighborhood action plan. I was Watching James Turner’s LP the other day and even though the Green initiative action plan was In place, the « Sharing is Caring » which was the previous one was still In place as well, allowing sims to clean him out. Try putting a fence around your lot (if you don’t have a house yet) and lock the gate for anyone but your sim and see if it still happens.

Yes, but what about the community lots? With 'Sharing is Caring' active, the public lots are being wiped out, too.

Wow, what a horrible feature and trait or whatever. I would hate this. It would drive me nuts for my Sims to be stealing and taking stuff from community lots where I had spent a lot of time building them. Stealing is never cool. If they want to say sharing is caring then there should have been bins and other things where it said "Free" on it. Such poor implementation of reusing the klepto trait. As far as Sims taking their own dog bowls and the player wondering where is it, I have killed Sims for a lot less. I can't stand total poorly done gameplay without a thought of the player's sanity.
