📋 About This Mod
Kids and teens will only take care of the dishes and collect trash autonomously if they have the neat trait or very high responsiblity or good manners (the latter one applies to dishes only). The mod does not affect cleaning dishes after eating, as this behaviour is dealt with by my noautonomouswashdishaftereating mod. Required Packs: - Compatiblity: Will conflict with any mod that alters these tuning files: autonomous_ObjectPicker_CollectDishesAsTrash (178935) autonomous_ObjectPicker_CollectDishes (178754) autonomous_ObjectPicker_CollectTrash (178939) Creator website: https://www.seebee.de/sims4me/
This mod tweaks autonomous cleaning behavior for kids and teens in The Sims 4, restricting dish and trash cleanup to those with the Neat trait, high Responsibility, or good manners. It's a small quality-of-life tweak for players who want more realistic child behavior. With zero endorsements but over 2,300 downloads, it's a niche utility.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Stops lazy kids from constantly grabbing dishes when you're trying to build skills.
- Adds a layer of realism—only tidy kids clean up after themselves.
- Lightweight tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole game.
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements means it's not widely tested—might have hidden bugs.
- Last updated in 2026, but no guarantee it works with the latest game patches.
- If your Sim lacks the trait or skills, you'll have to manually direct all cleaning.
This is for players who are tired of their child Sims autonomously cleaning every dish in sight, breaking immersion. It's also great for storytellers who want kids to act more like kids—messy unless they're naturally tidy. If you prefer hands-off gameplay, this might not be for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your child Sim has the Neat trait or high Responsibility to see the effect.
- If you want all kids to clean, just don't install this mod—it's a restriction, not an enhancement.
- Test in a new save first to see if it conflicts with other autonomy mods you use.
