Trashcans

Has anyone been having issues with random townies knocking over their outside trash can and not being able to pick it up??

I just started my legacy challenge and have had my trashcan knocked over 3 times and everytime I have to delete it and buy a new one. Thinking I'm going to need to build a fence around it and lock the gate :neutral:

    Seeing a lot of kicked over trashcans, never had trouble picking mine back up. When I replace mine with the square concrete one commonly scene around the Oasis Spring park they've stopped kicking over mine.
  • Hi, there was a discussion about this back in January:
    https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/986576/trash-can-woes

    There were something useful suggestions there, including using a fence as you have said. :smile:

    There is also an open bug report on this issue needing saves on Answers HQ:

  • Thanks guys for the suggestions. I will definitely go check out the bug report.
  • Don't know how to solve that, but I would place a standing one, like that of Island Living. This can't be knocked.
  • I've seen a trachcan knocked over on one of my saves repeated by the same sim: Victor Feng. Victor searches the bin first and then kicks it over. piles of trash stay on the floor and bin remains knocked over.

    Would it kill Victor to pick up the mess he created instead of running off the lot leaving my sim to clean up his mess?
    Edit: thinking about it, i bet this is linked to that atrocious autonomy.
