Trash Cans Getting Destroyed on Public Lots

First of all I'm playing with mods so there may very well be one causing this issue, but I started noticing recently that trash cans on public lots get destroyed and turn into a trash pile when a sim autonomously tries to pick trash from it. It has happened on bar, restaurant and nightclub lots. I'm reporting this issue to hear if anybody else is experiencing this so maybe we can troubleshoot what is happening, because I can't think of any mod in my folder causing this issue.

  • Hi Revelation21​ 

    Moving this to the mods forum until tested on vanilla.

    Please always test vanilla first before reporting in the bug forum. If you want to hear opinions, use the gameplay forum instead.

    Thank you.

    Yes, sorry, I should have posted it in the mods forum. I have tried troubleshooting, but I can't find the mod causing the issue. I have to see if it happens on a vanilla save at some point. Right now it's just a minor annoyance.

    I assume you play with mods as well? Did you update some of them recently? A temporary solution is to place the "Always Waiting" waitress station from Dine Out on the lot and hide a trash can somewhere inaccessible. I have tried removing mods from my folder, but have not been able to find the issue.

    yep, a TON of mods 😂 I haven't even tried removing them because, whatever it's just annoying. none of the mods i'm using have been listed as broken yet but its still really soon after the update so who knows. i've been looking online but yours is the only post I've seen about this issue!

    I have just tried visiting a restaurant in a vanilla save and the issue is not happening there so it's definitely a mod issue. I have many mods as well and I tried removing those I found suspicious, but no luck finding the mod causing the issue. I know someone on Discord has the same issue on residential lots, but no info about which mod it could be.
