I saw it happen once in my game since installing Nightlife. The maid was on the lot at the time so I figured she'd already had the action queued to clean up the plate. Seems quite silly tho to have a maid who isn't even there yet already have the action in her queue, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's how it worked. Let's hope it's a bug caused by something else.

It could have been that but since I moved that family in a new house no Sims ever lived in and did not scheduled a maid right after they moved in (actually I did not even had the time too since I made them eat right away to found out if I had the same problem and they could not clean-up their mess) unfortunately I don't think it was related to that but hey I am no programmer so of course I could be wrong. I read a few others on the "official" bbs did have the same problem, but they did not put a lot of details about it. Were you able to solve this or did you just let it be?
Hook I must say I love your cat picture, I personally have 3 cats and fell in love with that picture. Now all I need to know is how to put a picture next to my name and in what type of format so it fits there (I am no good at that).
The first time I saw it was the same day my sim moved in, (it was a nightlife pre-built house) the maid wasn't hired until after the problem started but when he did arrive he was able to clean the plates. It was just that one sim who couldn't - very puzzling.

huh? did you mean how to put a picture as your avatar here on the bbs?
Yes I was talking about that but since that post I found out where I need to place it (I was too lazy too actually search a little and it was really easy to found, shame on me!), only thing left for me to do is find a good picture. I have plenty of time to found it since next Monday is a holiday for me (Thanksgiving).

I don't have NL yet, but I did have one thought - if you influence that sim to clean, will they then clean up the plate? Or not?
MissDoh:
I know this may sound like a silly theory on why it happens but you can be the judge of that and tell me if it would make sense, here it goes:
Since I send plenty of other Sims on downtown lots except the ones of that family since I did not play them for a little while, I notice that some Sims on downtown lots would clean-up dirty plates in downtown restaurant if the waiter would not be fast enough. Now what I am wondering is if it would be possible that a Sim I don't have control on would have pick-up a plate to clean it and did not had the time too because I either decide to go back home or go on another lot and that Sim would have lost the ability to clean-up because it did not finish its action on a community lot.
Does this make sense and be a reason why it could not clean-up the plates anymore when I started to play that family? Remember I save while they were in bed and they were ok then, I reloaded the lot and they could not clean-up dishes anymore for an unknown reason. No custom stuff is involve here since I don't presently have any in my game, but if a mod exist to prevent it I will surely install it (yes I did change my mind on mods and know they are very useful, I changed the way I talk about them too and suggest to look for newer version in case they are no longer compatible with the expansion pack they have, see I am no fool anymore ;)).
If it ever happens again, I will definitely take one of those Sims on a downtown lot and see if it would got reset in any way and be able to clean-up plates while they are there. Unless someone with the same problem is willing to try it and let me know.
Please let me know what you all think of that theory.
ZephyrZodiac:
Sounds reasonable to me, but as I say, I don't yet have NL, but I've given in and ordered it. I'd be inclined to take another family downtown, wait until one of them starts to clean up plates, then send them home under similar conditions, and see if the same thing happens. It would at least prove or disprove your theory once and for all, and then you would know exactly what mod is needed to correct it. And if the family has a kid still at college, get them graduated and home fast so they can clean up, while you wait for someone to create the fix you need! (Or grow up a toddler if you've got one in the house, or adopt a child - kids are usually very willing to clean up dirty plates.)
