[BH] Patrons leaving ceramics around

My sim has gone to Terra Potta a couple of times and it’s usually full of people, however once they’re finished with the pottery wheel, they take their ceramics to the kiln and just leave them there most of the time. If the sims do however put it in the kiln and wait for it, they just sit it on the side of the kiln and other sims can’t glaze or put their ceramics in. They should be able to autonomously put what they’ve made in their inventory.

    I wish this was an option to have Sims take home what they make. That and also have the option of keeping the pottery they make to sell if they do not want to take it home. I feel realistically it is such a waste because the only option is to cleanup. I noticed that when you break it, you can’t even keep it to put back together unless it is something your sim makes themselves. 

    It looks like your post was already reviewed—hoping they come up with some options to fix this. 
    Thanks for raising this!

    I really don't think obvious game design oversights should be considered "by design". This is obviously not an "intended" function of the game, nobody sat down and said "Now it's time for me to code the pottery store customers so that they half-finish their pottery and then don't take it home and it just sits there and the player can steal it". That's not "by design". It's "how things are", and it's "not a bug", but calling that "by design" is ridiculous.


  • Running a pottery business, but patrons don't finish their creations. The ones who use the kiln to glaze their ceramics just leave them there, so other sims can't use the kiln after them. The worst part is that the owner of the business can't interact with the ceramics to move or dispose of them because they don't own them. I have to go into Build mode to delete or move the ceramic. If you're going to neglect to design the game so that people can finish/leave with their ceramics, at least allow the business owner to dispose of it.
