Mistakes Made Because You Really Haven't Slept Well in Two Days. . .

GalacticGal

My Sim has three horses, so as you can imagine their yard can get pretty full of all the dung piles left about. I generally take advantage of sliding those stinky mounds right over into the outside trash can. Well, today, I thought that's what I did, but I suddenly saw that ominous green cloud rising from one of the two tables out back. Upon closing examination, for a change it wasn't plates full of spoiled food. That would have been preferable. No, that dung I tried to slide into the trashcan. Well, I'll let the picture do the talking. Note on screen left is the trash receptacle. Missed it by that much!

@GalacticGal I've done this as well, but with plates of spoiled food. Usually I try to drag the dirty dishes to the sink, but they usually end up under a counter or something somehow. I've got to check my sims' kitchen, because there's one spot where they keep saying something smells, but there's nothing there.

@GalacticGal Guilty as charged - several times I've seen a levitating plate or a cloud of green just hovering above the bin as I didn't quite get it there

Lol. You should've got a picture with the sims eating at the table haha.

I was scooting around my sims home today and suddenly spotted a plate of still fresh pancakes on a half wall and was puzzled because I thought a sim had sneakily made them whilst I wasn't looking. Then I realised the fridge was in close proximity and it was me that had put them there by missing the fridge when I dragged.

Oh, you and me both need to pull the counters away and get rid of the dishes that sit there rotting. Oi!

So glad I'm not the only one. LOL

Oh, I've done that, too. This game is full of mishaps, Sim and players alike, am I right? LOL

Almost looks like a Profiteroles tower.

@cocobaura Remind me to never have a Profiteroles tower. LOL

those things are gold @GalacticGal put it in your inventory and cash it out, or use it as fertilizer.

Oh yeah, I am guilty of that also. For awhile I thought the stink buff had returned. My sims all had the stinky bubble, so I took their kitchens apart and yes they were right. Plates and glasses I thought I had dragged to trash, sink, fridge and had gotten stuck behind the counters. Eww!

Sims who have horses in my games use the manure for fertilizer. Those who don't have horses use debug.

If my Sims needed such cash, I would certainly consider it. However, I now have them replacing appliances and plumbing over repairing them, else the money earned doing things pertaining to his career are moot. In other words, the household funds are capped out. All 9s in every placeholder.

LOL, now that's funny. I hope your sims weren't expecting guests, they might be put off by what's on the menu.

My mistakes are always made when I'm in a hurry. Examples; I kept wondering why my sim kept doing her dishes in the bathroom sink; well, she'd probably use the kitchen sink if I remembered to give her one. Same with a trash can; my sims kept taking their trash to the outdoor garbage can because I forgot to give them an indoor one
