Steps to Reproduce: I buy valuable items from the pocket market. However my Zoi’s automatically discard them after trash a while regardless of whether they’re in my inventory or on my table. I’m wasting a lot of my money for nothing! Zoi’s even throwing trash away the Ocean Pro set. Zois also throws away the sculptures and toys we give her as gifts. And zois throws the seashells and minerals that are sitting on the shelf into the trash.
Both of them tried to throw away the seashells and minerals standing on the shelf. Fortunately, I stopped them in both cases. I haven’t had them throw anything away from my equipment. I would prefer to have the ability to keep something as a memento for the younger generation.
I had that issue with my employee Zoi. I thought it was because he has the task to clean. He trashed a plushy I gifted him right in front of my eyes xD.
That issue got worse it seems and this REALLY needs fixing.
Sure… who doesn’t know that a gold bar is trash??xD
At this point, you can’t leave a Zoi alone with valuables. Does it have something to do with liking to clean? Because I remember that the Zoi likes to clean. But obviously this is NOT how it should work!
@Mazikeen I haven’t experienced this with items from Pocket Market but I rarely buy stuff from there. What I definitely can confirm: they throw away sculptures, minerals or cut gemstones if you don’t protect them. They also throw away the new marine gatherables but these also can be put on exhibition to prevent it.
Actually: is there a way to protect also the Pocket market items? Can they also be put on “Hold Exhibition”? Probably not… Then we only have a way to protect our collectibles but not the rest of items which Zois like to throw in trash…
I have the same issue since the September update, and I believe it’s related to the ‘active mode’ where your Zoi has new interactions available to pick up stuff and throw stuff and punch and such. Since Zoi scan the area to find things to do, with these interactions, picking up stuff is also something to do, and once they have it in their hands, what else can they do then throw it away. My Zoi came home once finding their kid having thrown away all the photo frames around the entire house. I find that turning active mode off makes this behaviour disappear, as these interactions become less obvious for Zoi to do (but I’d have to play more to find out if this really cures the problem, or if my Zoi just happens to have a demon child).
EDIT: Indeed, as the replies to my comment already confirmed, this is not a solution. I was under the impression at first because my restored photo frames were no longer trashed, but that was actually because photo frames from build mode cannot be picked up by Zoi, where as photo frames generated through taking pictures can. So for now, I guess we’ll just have to keep a closer eye on our Zoi until this behaviour is tweaked by the devs a little.
She wants to break away from the shakles of materialistic suppression by trashing earthly possessions and chooses minimalism for inner peace (yea no, please stop doing that, Mrs. Zoi)
. It’s a good tip and I hope it will fix it for others!
. Now they start rebelling and trash everything or fill all group tables with journals xD
