I'm surprised to say that I'm surprised. I've owned OFB since 2006, and I haven't seen this before. Of course, any of a folder of hacks could have introduced this from another expansion pack I get th "brought a friend home from school" dialogue, and don' play with her. She walks outside, and jumps in the trashcan to play games Well, rubbish belongs there, but I have never seen a child play that way. And you thought Sims 3 children were creepy..

I believe adults can do this, too. Only sloppy sims will do it, of course.

I've seen the adults rummage through the trash can.. i'll keep watching. It looked like the play in tub animation.

Only time I see this is when I don't keep my Sims happy or at least in the green.
To far in the red makes very unhappy Sims.

Wow,this never happened to me.
Like Peni said,maybe it's because sims are sloppy..or bored? xD

I've heard of it but never seen it in my own game. Maybe because I keep my sims too happy. I've had adults eat from the bin and find things in the bin and I even had a toddler climb out of a cot once, but I've never had a kid play in the bin. Lucky you! It's one of those rare autonomous actions.

I've never seen kids play in the trash before, and I don't remember seeing the option with the allmenus cheat enabled. Many of my Sim Kids are absolute slobs, and the worst they do is groan at me when I tell them to mop up a puddle.

I have only owner OFB for two months, but I've never seen that Lol
