You know how sometimes in Sims 4 you get that weird message saying the mailman couldn’t deliver your mail? It sounds like something went wrong, but if you check your mailbox, the mail is actually there, and you can grab it just fine.
Let’s break down why that confusing message pops up and what you can do when it happens.
What Can You Do?
Ignore the message. The mailman usually delivers the mail just fine. They even confirm they managed to throw the mail in there. If the notification doesn’t bother you, you can simply ignore it.
Check for Obstructions
- Make sure nothing is blocking the mailbox.
- Remove any fences or objects near the mailbox that might be in the way.
- See if the notifications stop after clearing any obstructions.
Place a New Mailbox Without MOO
- If you used MOO (Move Objects On) to place the mailbox, the game might not handle it well.
- MOO allows you to place objects without following the game’s placement rules.
- Try placing a new mailbox without using MOO and see if the problem is fixed.
Relocate the Mailbox
- Some players find that the mailbox needs to be right against the property edge.
- Move the mailbox to the edge of your property or try different positions near the edge.
- Check if changing the mailbox location stops the notifications.
Clear the Mailbox Regularly
- Regularly empty your mailbox to ensure new mail can be delivered.
- The mailman won’t deliver new mail if the mailbox is full.
Happy Simming!
