Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.108.349.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game packs and stuff packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Playing a household on any of the lots in Mirage area in del sol Valley
What happens when the bug occurs? The lot trait 'reduce and recycle' is added as a lot trait that cannot be removed
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to assign any lot trait to this lot
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. 1.108.349.1220
It is the lot trait with the green recycling symbol that gets stuck. It gets the same text saying it can't be removed as lot traits from City Living and Get Together for special lots, but this is weirdly an Eco Lifestyle lot trait getting stuck to Del Sol Valley lots (or perhaps all lots played, I've only experienced it on these two so far and don't want to ruin my save by trying more)

@sofiasbuilds Hello, I hope I can help you somewhat resolve your issue!
As you said, some lot traits are assigned to certain lots and they cannot be changed. I'm pretty sure that that's what's happened here.
However, I'm not 100% sure, as this is something only the game designers would really know for sure.
Hope this helps xx

Hi @1105Cats,
Thank you for trying to help. I know that this is the case with some lots but I am 100% that this is not the case here - this lot trait came with the Eco Lifestyle expansion pack and I’m having the problem with the Get Famous expansion pack world. It also keeps adding itself to new lots as soon as I play them which I know for sure isn’t supposed to be the case. I really appreciate you talking the time to read my bug report and having a think about what might be wrong though!

Hi @crinrict
I removed them before installing the latest patch (8/8/24) and started having the issue afterwards. Do you know if there are any mods known to cause this issue?

Thank you so much for helping! I did try with more than one save but I’ll give it a go with a new save and see if the issue persists. If it’s any help the mods I used to have were MCCC, UI cheats, Carl’s Dine Out Reloaded, PandaSama’s realistic birth mod and SimRealist’s Private Practice and SNBank. I always use latest versions and take out after patches until creators have said they’re updated though and since there was a new patch just yesterday I took them all out and disabled mods.

Hi @sofiasbuilds ! That sounds like you have Lumpinou's lotharihoe's mod Waste Management Overhaul. How the mod works is that it adds the lot trait to every Residential lot and then an actual Sim comes regularly to get your garbage. The mod doesn't let you remove the trait, on purpose.
If you don't want this mod's features anymore, removing the mod should make is so you can then remove the lot trait.

I don’t have that mod, I had a different mod from Lumpinou years ago but I’ve never had that one, only the ones mentioned above and also TwistedMexi’s TOOL and BetterBuildBuy, some of the mods I used to have recently, at least the ones from Simrealist, do affect lot traits so maybe that could have something to do with it but I don’t know enough about how modding works to know if that could have corrupted an existing save even when all mods are removed and mods disabled.
