This is a personal favorite, which is why I’m putting it way at the top.
This trash can is equal parts decorative (if you’re building the ruins of an ancient civilization—or an explorer’s treasure room) and functional!
You’ll find more info in the creator’s notes, as per usual.
The short of it is, it’s a lidless trashcan made to look like a broken clay pot. And, if my Google skills are to be trusted, this CC item is one of a kind.
Whatever it is (and for whatever reason it’s coming to be), you’ll need these: stacks of empty soda cans, remnants of rotten fruit, piles of empty takeout containers, and plastic garbage bags bursting at the seams.
Funny how four items can really help set certain scenes, you know?
3. The Garage Set #4: Car Parts Clutter by Cyclonesue
Sure, these belong in a set called The Garage, but they definitely wouldn’t be out of place in an abandoned house or trashed warehouse.
And if you’re looking for garbage and junk clutter to create post-apocalyptic settings, the rusted pipes, deflated tires, and fried batteries in this set are perfect.
4. The Garage Set #5: Garage Clutter by Cyclonesue
We’ve got the scattered car parts. We’ve got the remnants of an old garage.
Let’s top it all off with the dented and aged body of a scrap car.
I wholeheartedly recommend this custom décor item (plus the other two sets by Cyclonesue) if you’re planning some sort of post-disaster, world’s-gone-mad setting. They’re so perfect for it, it’s ridiculous.
This one’s for all the lovely Sims out there that need to rethink their life choices — or at least learn how to operate a vacuum cleaner.
This Slob’s Life pack isn’t great for decorating post-apocalyptic, global-disaster sets.
But for decorating the damp, derelict, and absolutely dingy apartment of some Sim foregoing all forms of cleanliness as they ride out the waves of a midlife crisis?
It couldn’t be more perfect.
9. Fiddledeedee Half Life 2 Seven Cities Ago + Diverse Clutter Conversion by sanoysims
Here lie the remnants of a hearty Chinese takeout session.
Empty Styrofoam containers, grease-stained food boxes, ripped single-serve packets of soy sauce, and broken fortune cookies. It’s a right mess, is what it is.
Apparently, the original Billyjean’s Clutter pack was a CC set made for TS2. This TS4 conversion contains a fair bit of items from the original, including a stained egg box (that really doesn’t look sanitary), some dingy tray boxes, and an empty soda box.
Among other things.
I personally like the Hanging Pics wall décor.
The haphazard design really makes the whole thing look like it was clumsily cobbled together before being thrown away.
Even if you don’t have The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle expansion pack, you can still create the trash-strewn, garbage-laden town of your sustainability dreams.
This download by Sims4life takes the debug trash items that dot Evergreen Harbor’s streets and turns them into buyable, base game-compatible Build & Buy objects for any Simmer to use.
PSA: don’t do drugs. But if your Sims do (to the detriment of their own digital life), the objects in this set are exactly what one would find in their dirty, neglected, trash heap of an apartment.
Or maybe in the alley next to the building they live in, if they’re lucid enough to keep their place clean.
But if you just want to decorate a drug-free space full of garbage, the Pile of Beer Cans in this pack can be used in virtually any space and/or scenario.
