Once, after playing after a few hours this saturday (June 26), the outside trash bin wasn't aknowledged by the game at all and my sims couldn't throw away the trash and clean the house anymore. It wasn't overflowing and even deleting the old one and buying a new one didn't work. At that time I thought it was a mod conflict (it coincided with the moment my Sim received a cleaning push from a mod). That's when I realized I couldn't interact with the bin even after making a backup folder and restarting anew without any mods at all. I remember that a week ago I could still kick the trash cans, put it back in place, etc. And now I can't even click on them during gameplay (I can only select them during construction mode). I've already followed all the steps to try and fix my game: make a backup folder, empty the EA folder, reinstall Origin, repair the game, I even uninstaled the whole Sims 4 game and spent hours to download everything again (minus Eco Lifestyle, just to test if it made a difference). Sometimes a household will be able to interact with the outside trash bin: once when I started a new game with a random pre-made Sim, another when I loaded a veeery old game. I don't know why it worked once in a blue moon, but when I tried to put back all my saved lots and households, the bug appeared again. Since I was too busy trying to get my sims to interact with the garbage cans again, I haven't played for consecutive hours, so I don't know if the 2nd problem of the trash can being completely ignored by the game will happen again or it was some mod issues. I have been also experiencing this issue on my PC game recently (64bit not legacy ed.), maybe for about a week? (No mods). Randomly, the outside trash can just stops working. I'll go to have my sim empty the indoor trash and it says there needs to be an outside bin. Debug reset usually fixes it, picking it up and placing it again, deleting and replacing it. But it happens continuously as I'm playing, not just like when loading into a game or coming back from a lot (which would make more sense, like a genuine cause and effect): I'm talking 3 times within 40 minutes (real time) of playing strictly live mode in the house.
