Eco Lifestyle - Sim doesn't have dumpster options

Hi all, 

I may well not be doing something right, but when I click on the dumpsters to have my sim dumpster dive, I only have three options - Dive for deal, Dive for meals and Nap in dumpster. 

I don't seem to have any of the other options. Just wondering if it's a known issue/I am doing something wrong etc.

Thanks 🙂

    Depending on you career level, your skill level and what NAPs are enacted more options will become available but those are your starting options.

    Thank you for replying. 

    I was under the impression I should also be able to select - Dive for ingredients, Empty trash, Sort compostables and Sort out recyclables?

    Thanks

    You're not alone. I cant select sort for recyclables etc either on any of the garbage bins.

    Annoying, but not a deal breaker. 

    Maybe the latest patch changed it into 'search for bits and pieces?

    But i also noticed that i can't empty my outside bin (the new interaction that they will go to a landfill).

    Oh right, ok. I guess that makes more sense, it's just a shame then that my flower arranging sim can't do some stuff. 

    Thankyou!

    I have noticed that with my outside bin too! Thought it was strange but hadn't clicked it was an option that disappeared.

    I’ve had a similar issue before. Try removing and replacing the dumpster, and see if the other options appear. You can also try testing it on a different lot or temporarily disabling mods to check if one of them is causing the problem.
