Little personal challenge for some realism in my game

Speaking of...that's another way I make the game more challenging. I never have objects on my home lots that you wouldn't actually find there. No huge recycling bin, no giant cupcake machines, etc. If I want to use those things, I usually make up "jobs" for my sims to do and then have actual warehouses or lots specifically for those types of objects. And as far as recycling goes...I don't know about you people, but my city makes me pay to recycle so there is no free money in that.
