Well, that's ONE way to get out of doing the dishes
KellyQ:
I moved Meadow Thayer in with one of my families just long enough to age her into an adult, call the taxi and move out. I moved her into a very small starter home where she's living alone, found her a job and set up house, so far, so good. Here's the problem: every time after she cooks and then eats, she can't pick up the plate to clean up. I can't even click on the plate, the arrow is just greyed out. I have deleted the dining room table, moved the table to another part of the house, nothing. If a plate is on the counter, the only option I get is to "grab a plate" or "eat", there isn't a "clean up" option. Out of curiosity, I had Joe Carr come over, made him selectable, had him prepare a meal for just himself while Meadow was napping, he ate and then I was able to click on the plate and him clean up (same table that Meadow couldn't clean a plate off of) the plate. He left, had Meadow prepare a meal, etc., same thing, she is unable to "clean up". I moved her out and back in but it didn't make any difference. Clearly it's some kind of issue with her and not the lot. Anyone ever have this? By the way, I turned on debug mode and not one error popped up. Ideas, anyone?

There have been a few times since NL that Pollination Technician #9 couldn't clean the dishes. I still haven't figured out what the deal was. No one else was queued to clean the dishes, others could clean the dishes he couldn't touch, and the problem only appears intermittently -- sometimes he can clean them, sometimes not. I didn't submit a bug report because I couldn't document how to reproduce the error :-(

I've had some problems with one of my sims being unable to clean up the dishes as well (NL + patch). I know she didn't have the ability to clean up for several days. I'm not sure if she's able to now - I'm so used to having her family members clean up after her that I keep forgetting to check! This happened almost immediately after she aged to elder.
KellyQ:
Hmmm...that is really odd. I've been either using "moveobjects on" to delete the table and buy a new one, which is a pain considering how many times in a sim day that needs to be done or having Meadow invite other sims over, making them selectable and then making them clean up the dishes.
Thanks for replying phyllisp and lynda...at least I know I'm not alone. :)
Andygal:
you could just influence random walkbys to clean up, or do you not have Uni? If you do't I'm sorry, pretend I never posted.
