<\/div>Yeah, I…fully forgot a step. Sims technically need access to an indoor and an outdoor trashcan. The outdoor is no problem, the lot is big enough. The issue is the indoor trash can, since it’s really supposed to be a kitchen bin. My Sim here kindly let me know the error basically as soon as I opened the game. Awesome.<\/p>\n
<\/div>This kitchen is…tiny, so we’re going to have to get creative. Maybe that closet under the stairs?<\/p>\n
<\/div>Nooks are the best. Although, this was a bit more complicated than just putting in a new door. There wasn’t just ‘one’ wall in the way because of how stairs work in the Sims 4. Technically the door in the last screenshot wasn’t functional yet, because stairs come with their own (often invisible) walls built in. To put in this arch and make it a space the sims can move in, the stairs needed entirely pulled out, the invisible wall removed, and put back. I’d like to say I remembered this fact immediately and didn’t spend an hour troubleshooting, but I’d be lying. I won’t be able to put in any walls under the stairs here to isolate our new pantry space because they will destroy the stairs themselves, so I’ll have to fake it.<\/p>\n
<\/div>I’ve made a little pantry using countertops and shelves just to tuck the trash can in. It’s a toss up weather it’ll work or not, but it took forever to get the right combination of counters, so I hope so?<\/p>\n
<\/div>Okay, a…lot, happened here. It turns out that making trash in the Sims 4 intentionally<\/em> is actually really hard. The sims can’t interact with a trash can without a reason, so I needed to create garbage. There seems to be a random chance involved in making trash. From what I can tell (from very little data) most things can create trash: dishes, laundry, eating, going to the bathroom, but it only actually produces trash a fourth(?) of the time during any of those tasks. Either way, it took forever to create trash to actually test this, and…nope, not functional, awesome.<\/p>\n My Sim is frustrated and uncomfortable, I’m frustrated and uncomfortable, and my trash nook doesn’t work. Back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n We have a winner. If we put the trash can on the side in the nook, it works. It’s not great for screenshots because of how wall collision works with the camera, but I’ll take it.<\/p>\n Even with shelves over it! Even with a pantry! Look how happy they are! Experience how happy I<\/em> am. I hate this game sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The headache has passed for the most part, and now we may return to working on the apartment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[639],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-thesimsoverthinking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57388"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57397,"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57388\/revisions\/57397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
