.I have a sock on my computer desk, and cannot seem to pick it up....
Any suggestions?
After all, my family are neat freaks, and the smell is getting pretty bad!

Sometimes the pickup-able items can appear in glitchy areas of the game and typically the only way to remove it is to It may be possible to pick it up, usually children pick up things easier but it would require lots of precision and luck!

There was another topic with a similar issue but with a wrapper on top of the fax machine, here. Unfortunately we didn't discover any solutions that did work besides waiting for that random event.

Some people make backups of their families every night just in case something like this should happen as well! If you do somehow manage to get rid of that annoying sock, I suggest looking into creating backups as explained in the topic here.

Good luck!

Finally after all this time I got the event I needed. Unfortunately I have another family running that has a sock in that place now. When I have gotten that event it only cleaned up the spots and wrappers and not the socks. Does that mean I'm stuck with this rotten sock on my fax machine for good?

I haven't seen a topic with this, but there is a sock stuck on one of the computers. I logged out and back in and it does not go away. I have put my family members in every area near the sock. Any idea how to get someone to pick up the sock?

Really, you'll have to wait until you get a maid event, and they'll pick it up.

Thank You!
