Won't clean dishes

deezeno · January 2018

So I have recently gotten a strange issue. I have a trash bin in the kitchen, plus one outside. Sometimes I can't have a sim clean up a dish and it says needs a trash bin. I only play with MCCC for mods but have tried taking that out and the issue still happens. Anyone else have this happen? Any solutions?

Hello
Try selling the bins and buying new ones and see if that helps.

Try deleting the cache files and see if that helps

Repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair

Edit : I posted this on a later post
For simmers who are having this issue, and are using the new dining table that came with Laundry Day Stuff Pack, you may like to post feedback on this AHQ EA thread

I have the same issue. It started happening when I installed the laundry pack.

I says that there aren't any trash cans or sinks on the lot, which is obviously completely wrong. It usually gets fixed after a bit though...

Hello
It may help if your sim travels to another lot and then back home again,and see if that helps.

I've had this issue and found the problem to occur when I direct a Sim who is sitting at the dining table to clean up , it will say no bins or sinks, despite there being some. However, if I direct the sim to stand up, I am then able to clean the dishes. Hope this helps.

I have a similar issue. All sinks and bins are working fine, but is theres more then one dish on the lot (or in inventory) they flap their arms (like a debug reset sim) and the won't pick up any dishes. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this or has a resolution? I play with mods but have tested it without them installed and it still happens. Dragging dirty dishes to the sink/bin/dishwasher, is becoming tiresome now :(

Try evicting the simshousehold from their home, then place them back into the original home. Then test to see if the issues remain.

I have a similar issue where if dishes are on a table, the sim can't clean dishes, but if I move them off the table, then the sim can clean them. It started happening after I installed laundry day.

Hello
Does this occur in multiple households? Try testing in a fresh new save game and see if the issues occur there also,

Repairing the game did it, sims can clean dishes again.
