Can't throw stuff away ?

CardinalsFan2012

Is anyone else having trouble with their Sims not being able to throw stuff away ?. They pick it up and put it right back down again

Is the trash can available or kicked down?

No it's in the yard and nothing is around it

I usually delete the trash can and buy a new one if this happens

Do you have mods installed that are not updated yet after the patch?
And is this still happening after starting the game new?
I would also suggest place a few other trash cans at different places and look if they use these.
If it still not works, check the EA Help Center 👉 here

There may be a dish or trash somewhere in the house they can't reach-- they queue up that plate or whatever, and then they have a routing failure and give up on the whole cleaning up task.

For dishes, check wall shelves and the tops of half walls, for some reason they made it so that sims can put things down there, but can't pick things up from there, idk
For trash, check that a pile of trash from a repair or something hasn't generated somewhere inaccessible, like underneath a bathtub or dresser, or behind a wall

Also as the game always says, "you can pick up things like plates by clicking on them in live mode and drag them to a trash can to throw them away!" lol
