Spoiled Grilled Plantains on Lot Edge: Can't Delete

Hi,

So, I've tried everything I've seen on resolving this, but nothing has worked.

These grilled plantains were here even before I moved my sim into this lot.

I've tried the sledgehammer and got the message "this object cannot be deleted".

I cannot move it in live mode because when the sim tries to do the action "throw away", he ends up saying he can't access the plantains, i.e. waving and shrugging even though nothing is blocking his path.

I've also tried building a room around it, but I can't because walls cannot be built right up to the edge where the pavement meets the lot.

So the plantains are just...stuck there. Stinky and ruining the aesthetic, right at the front of the house.

Please help...this is super annoying...

  • @SouriDlait    Hi!   That's terrible!  Do your sims have any options when you click on the stinky plantains? Claim? Put in inventory? Resume cooking?  (If there's an option to eat them, I would advise against that :-)

    If there are no other options, you might try bulldozing the lot in build mode and placing the lot again from your Library.  Your household may take  a money hit this way because the Library version likely has a higher value than your current lived-in / used lot.  But those plantains should be gone.

  • @JonaO703, thanks for the quick reply.

    I was trying to avoid having to bulldoze the lot, but at this point I guess I’ll have to.

    Regarding the option my sim has when I click on the plantains (I think I posted this before...?), it just says "throw away", but he isn't able to complete that action.

    He acts like something is in the way.

    @SouriDlait   Maybe try placing a trash can closer to the plantains?  Perhaps there is something causing a routing failure that isn't obvious.

    Edit:  I completely understand not wanting to bulldoze and replace. :-(

  • @JonaO703, unfortunately, placing the trash can nearer didn't change anything ☹️

    Ultimately, I had to bulldoze the lot, but it fixed the problem. PLANTAINS GONE!

    Decided to evict my sim after putting his stuff in the inventory and put him up elsewhere.

    Thanks for your help!

    @SouriDlait   You're welcome!  No one wants stinky spoiled plantains laying around.  I'm sorry you had to bulldoze the lot but glad you were able to fix it. Happy Simming!

  • I was having a similar problem, but it was a turkey dinner that was on the floor in the kitchen and wouldn't move. I discovered semi by accident that if your Sim is a magic user and casts inferniate on the offending item it will, of course, catch fire, but after the fire is put out by the inappropriately moonwalking fireperson the offending item will also be gone.

    @theechosea   Nice!  I almost exclusively play spellcasters because, well ... I love magic!  Always Transportalate!  lol  I never thought about using the inferniate spell though.  When in doubt, set it on fire! :-)
