Sims Carrying Trash / Plates / Laundry / Infants Reset With Stairs / Platforms

Here is a better example. Sim is about to enter a platform / raised area while holding the trash and then once after entering the raised area has immediately reset. 

it happens to me too

the only solution I found is to wait for the sim to finish the action of depositing the garbage before asking him to do a next action; if I ask a sim to do something while he is taking out the garbage the sim leaves the garbage on the ground to do the next action.

It's annoying because the sims empty the garbage can autonomously and if you are playing with a large families and you lose sight a sim, you realize too late that he is taking out the garbage, you just give him orders and he leave it on the ground and you realize it later, when you find black piles around the house

I also have been having this issue on ps5 lately and thought it was just me experiencing it. It becomes most annoying trying to clean up my small business coffee shop with this happening. 

Same here, tho I don't have any platforms in my current house. I've not been on Sims 4 for a couple of weeks as I was visiting Sims 2 but I have noticed that Sims will pick up trash and randomly drop it usually after 2/3 steps then with a bin speech bubble but there's a very usable one nearby and outside . They're not a slob or have any lazy traits, in fact the Sim I noticed it on had the neat trait 

Hello all,

If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)? If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

Instructions can be found here. Please also include a link to the thread the save is for.

Thanks!

I'm gonna try doing this, first time attempting but I think I understand how to do it, I'm on PS5 so it's the longer way round 🤣 the save it's happening on is very new only 2 households been played 

This happens to me too. It seems in specific lots. I even did some remodeling thinking space was the issue, but it kept happening. I usually don't give sims more than one or two tasks at a time due to their add and interruptions from other household members. It happens even when they only have one task. The lot it happens the most in, and the one I've remodeled to make sure there's space at the top and the bottom of the stairs, is also a lot with platforms. No idea if that means anything.

greetings !

I have noticed this trash -issue related to horse-droppings on my selfbuild lot... and there are no stairs !

I give the order "collect horse-droppings", the sim take this (first) one, than it seems he is not able to find the next/following 'step' (like the next pile or the trash can), so he drops it and leave i trash-pile.

To my it seems similar to the ""clean the dishes-issue".
