The small teddy bear is probably classified as a gift. Zois will throw out gifts if the “Clean Up” action pops up in their queue,

Only way to avoid the problem that I know of is to put the gift in a Zoi’s bag, or display it a locked room that only one Zoi in your family has access to. Neither option is a particularly great solution. :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:

Unfortunately, as it stands there seems to be quite a lot of items that zois autonomously throw out, including a lot of collectables, which will even be disposed of when displayed on shelves. It is quite annoying, especially when some of them are hard-won metals that you plan to use for making tools!

This is really driving me nuts that I feel I have to constantly watch these Zois :scream:
I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I so wish they’d allow us to turn autonomy completely off if we decide to take control over their actions.

Problem is, we’d need to turn off npc autonomy, as in my experience (largely single zoi households) it was visitors that threw away all my stuff. No way to cancel the action or stop them queuing it again!

I always keep autonomy off for this reason because Zois will even throw away items bought from stores (like those little medicine pills and boxes) during the autonomous “Clean Up” interaction, but that doesn’t stop NPCs from doing it regardless.

I remember being super annoyed that my Zoi’s fiancĂ© would always come over and throw away the items she bought, so I started keeping them in her inventory. The devs should block autonomous throwing away from certain items.

I would go the other way and suggest the devs program an “allowed” list which is much more limited. Then they don’t have to remember to update a “blocked” list as they add new objects to the game. Basically, the default becomes ‘don’t throw out’.

Since the idea seems to be cleaning up the home, how about limiting it to only items which are “spoiled”? E.g. food, drinks, fish left out, etc. Can anyone think of any other class of item that should autonomously cleaned up?

Great idea! Even better.
