Trash is an unfortunate consequence of existing. Whether you’re a minimalist, hoarder, or somewhere between the two extremes, you’ll still definitely have something out to the curb come trash day.
It’s such a large part of life that it’s of course included in a life simulator.
The Sims definitely wants you to be mindful of your waste. And there are several ways to manage it in the game.
From trash cans to recycling bins, you never have to worry about your garbage piling up. Unless your Sim is particularly lazy, of course.
But luckily, you aren’t even limited to what’s already in the game, either. Our fellow Simmers have created many other custom options for your Sim trash, including recolors as well as totally new objects.
Maybe it’s just me, but you don’t seem to see many cylindrical cans nowadays.
It’s kind of a shame, since bags are less likely to get stuck inside something without corners.
But I’m probably the only one who thinks like that.
These are a nice and simple choice. It may be decoration only, but that can always be a plus. If your Sims have a business or large home, they can have a functional bin, as well as this one to make the space look complete.
There’s even a ‘push’ sign on the lid, for hands-free use.
Have you ever wished your trash can was autonomous?
Well, me neither. But it’s still a fun idea.
This can has a paranormal vibe, making it perfect for a game so quirky and otherworldly as it already is.
It comes in wood swatches with ornate accents and a foot pedal. The coolest part comes from the fact that there’s a choice involved here… light or no light?
Yes, if you choose correctly, the trash can will illuminate with an ethereal glow whenever it’s used.
This custom bin is perfect for tiny homes, as well as large ones. Whether you’re looking to better utilize space, or simply for alternative trash cans, this is just an awesome creation through and through.
It actually goes in counter tops and can be placed on end pieces as well as middles.
I’m sure we are all well aware of how finicky counters can be, but that does not apply here.
This will snap right to the center and be ready for our 15 piles of trash.
RAVASHEEN is clearly a creator who has got everything covered when it comes to furnishing your Sim’s home.
This is the same person who brought us the Home Recycler Bin, the counter bin above, and now these recolors of the base game Smart can.
A different pattern or color really can make all the difference in the world, as evidenced here.
But before we get into that, I’d like to applaud The Sims 4 folks for even including a Smart trash can. I had never even heard of it before, but it’s so necessary, and so useful to our Sims.
With odor eliminators and hands-free trash disposal, this is definitely the can of the future.
It’s also the closest we have to a functioning trash compactor.
The thing is, they aren’t exactly pretty. And that’s where recolors come in!
There are six swatches here, including woods both light and dark, as well as a gorgeous floral swatch and finally, a speckled design.
