Dish Delete

⚠️ Status: TESTED & COMPATIBLE with the September 22nd, 2026 Patch (PC/Mac: 1.128.90)

Your lot and zone are buried under dirty dishes, used glasses, and spoiled leftovers that would take forever for a Sim (or you) to clean up. Two cheat commands and they are all gone. Yes, even the ones stuck in weird inaccessible places! Dish Delete removes every abandoned dish from the current zone instantly, no Sims or live dragging required.

How It Works

Open the cheat console with Ctrl+Shift+C, enter testingcheats true, then:

Type dd_clean for a dry run that shows exactly what would be removed without deleting anything.
Type dd_clean confirm to delete it all.

Poof, the nasty dishware is all gone! Every run prints a full readout to the console listing what was deleted and what was skipped, with a reason for each skip. Nothing is written to your hard drive.

What gets removed:

Dirty plates and dish stacks
Used drinking glasses and coffee cups
Empty bottles
Spoiled leftovers
Kava bowls and grill food

What is never touched:

Food that is still edible
Dishes cooking inside an oven or microwave
Anything a Sim is currently carrying or using
Anything stored in an inventory
Cookware of any kind: frying pans mid-recipe, mixing bowls, cutting boards, prepped ingredient trays, coffee makers, and tea makers all stay exactly where they are

⚠️ Deletion cannot be undone. Run dd_clean first and read the list before running dd_clean confirm.

Requirements

The Sims 4 (base game only, no packs required)

All Commands

dd_clean Dry run. Reports what would be deleted, deletes nothing.

dd_clean confirm Deletes the dishes and lists every object removed.

dd_state Show mod state: zone loads, last scan counts, total deleted.

dd_clean is always safe to run first. It only looks for what qualifies for deletion in the zone.
