The sims will walk right through it like the fence or gate is not even there. 'aaries16' Thank you for 'agree' that the trash can at the curb with a fence is a waste of time. The best way to prevent the can-kicking is by moving the can away from the curb I've put fences around the trashcan at the curb and the sims who want to kick it down do it through the fence anyway - no matter if there's a locked door or not. They'll have to be satisfied with stealing your sims' newspaper. They can dispose of their trash, but Mean or Furious Sims who want to kick over your can won't be able to. Now only the Sims living on the lot can go inside the cubicle. Be sure to leave a tile next to the can.Īnd then choose 'Allow Household Only'. Once move-objects on is in place, simply build a little fence around the trashcan. Other packs may have included this, but I'm not sure. an expansion pack ( Open for Business) that includes the ability to lock doors. It's fairly simple: build a fence around the can. Since I'm a bit wary of introducing a lot of hacks into the game, I looked for and found a way to keep Sims from kicking over the trashcan in-game. I tend not to notice over-turned garbage cans until my Sims start marching off toward the street to stomp on roaches, so flu tends to be a problem.
