Is anyone having trouble finding trash in the cans for sims to rummage for parts? Without fail in Oasis Springs, Bedrock Strait neighborhood you can always find trash in those cans to rummage, regardless of the world and neighborhood your sim lives in.I am playing Johnny Zest, who lives in that neighborhood and there is no trash in the cans to rummage. Trash is not spawning. Not even in the park which tends to always have trash to rummage.I do not have Eco Lifestyle.Anyone else run into this issue?UPDATEI entered a bug report. Please Me Too it here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Unable-to-Rummage-in-World-amp-Community-Lot-trash-cans/m-p/9223296#M141520

You would generate trash if you have no sink and throw all the plates away in a regular bin.

@IceyJ are you referring the EL dumpsters or regular trash cans in all of the worlds?

I added my experiences with this at the EA Help site.

@IceyJ heres what works for me on lot- I only have a dumpster in the corner of the lot, no trash can in the house- I stop eating just before they finish or try to stop the clean up action, then I manually move the bowl to the dumpster- One empty/partial bowl seems to get gets 3-5 dumpsters actions (dive/recycle etc). Multiples create more - With my freegan on community lots, I intersperse dive for meals/ingredients every now and again so that I’ve always got something to ‘refill’ the dumpsterHope that helps!

I wonder if they broke this to force folks to by Eco Lifestyle? I hope not. But almost a year later and it still isn't resolved.
So I guess I won't be able to play this save since her house burned to the ground, she's homeless and will now starve since she can't rummage for food, etc. Makes rags to riches kinda hard.

You generally have to hang out on a community lot for a couple of in game hours before trash generates in the cans, at least that’s been my experience.

I find trash always appears in the dumpster if I take a nap on the bench after arrival at the lot ? just takes a little time and makes the freegans extra happy

Yes. Trash has stopped accumulating in the dumpster and I don't know why. I do have the reuse & recycle lot trait but there's never anything in the dumpster anymore.

The only time I tried having a SIM dumpster dive, the Sim couldn’t because there was nothing in the dumpster.

If it's a lot based dumpster you have to actively generate trash some way to have anything to rummage/dive for.

If you are washing dishes or have the Nano trashcan, for example, you won't generate trash from cleaning up dishes. You would generate trash if you have no sink and throw all the plates away in a regular bin.

Yeah, it's a dumpster on a residential lot. What about piles of trash that end up on the ground? My sim picks them up and takes them to a trash can. I assumed that once the regular trash cans fill, the dumpsters would fill. I'm just confused on how it all works.

The actual dumpsters. I was able to rummage in one today, but I'm still not sure what triggered it.

Maybe that's why; I do have a trash can, too. It's outdoors, though. It's always full but the dumpster isn't. I'll try removing it and keeping only the dumpster.
