This is a weird question but....

Yep. They definitely can. My sim probably cleans the stove twice a week between her and her roommate when they cool at home. My counters definitely get dirty from Sims eating off of them at bar stools. Reminds me when I was amazed to see the bartender cleaning the bar that had gotten dirty after multiple use in the night. :)

@sigzy05, stoves will get dirty without cheats too...trust me. It is not that common though, but it happens over time when cooking, at least with some stoves. Cooking skill might factor into it too...can't remember the last time I had to have my sims clean the stove, but I know they have. I've had maid service in my current game for a very long time though (3 generations and counting at this point).

Table on the other hand...never. I never noticed the cheat to make dirty worked on tables even...but then...never had a reason to shift-click a table with testing cheats on. Fascinating to know it can happen. Maybe if you have no countertops, your sims will prepare food on a table? Honestly...no idea...or maybe it gets a little dirty when eating, but cleaning up plates cleans the table too? You have me very curious now.

I've never gotten dirty stoves either but my sims always use the really high end ones. Never seen a dirty table too. :D

Maybe it's because I usually only cook group servings, and then live off leftovers, but my stoves don't get dirty that often.
I'm sure if I cooked individual single-serving meals for each Sim they'd get dirty a lot faster.
Counters that my Sims use to chop/prepare ingredients before transferring them to the stove definitely get dirt a lot faster.
So much so that I wish COUNTERS had upgrades for dirt-resistant coatings, like stoves can get. :mrgreen:

Though I've seen more charred burnt stoves than dirty ones in my time, that's for sure.
And wow I have literally NEVER seen a dirty dining table.
Reminds me of how a high-chair can get dirty when a toddler smacks the food off of it... except it's a table!

I like using the cheat to make every single countertop, stove, table, toilet, sink, shower, etc. dirty in my Sim's neighbors homes just to make them mad if they're rude to my Sim :3c

Dirty stoves I'm used to, they got dirty (faster!) in Sims 2. Pretty sure though that I have NEVER seen a dirty table...

Maybe these things are easier to happen if you have certain lot traits, like Filthy.

I have never seen a dirty table in the game before :o
Stoves and counters yes, but not with regularity or with a pattern I can see. It seems a bit random depending on the household. I'll have houses where the toilet gets dirty very often but never the kitchen and viceversa (even with the same quality objects).
I find it very cool that you can make objects dirty with a cheat but I never use it myself.

You can make things dirty (and clean) through shift+clicking the object with cheats on? When did this happen?

I don't think so. I have an orphanage that has the filthy trait and I haven't noticed anything getting dirty particularly any more than a normal lot. Maybe the trait doesn't work? The stove is more likely to catch fire than get dirty and I have never ever seen a dirty table. Counters, yes, but not a table.
