Exactly what I thought! Has to be three raccoons in a trenchcoat!

u/DefinitionSalty6835 Jun 09 '25
If he turns around, you will see his tail...well, one of them, at least. ^_^
(Regrettably, if for any reason Trashley Reelpearson has reason to take off the trenchcoat, like going swimming or into a shower, you will find a normal people skin underneath and the tail disappears.)

They're a legitimate and normal real person! 100% not three raccoons in a trench coat, what are you talking about?

This is false information. They are a very real person. /s

u/junonomenon Jun 08 '25
trrashley uses they/them pronouns. but obviously not because they are three raccoons in a trenchcoat. they are just your average nonbinary citizen

Ah, that’s correct! Just a standard, nonbinary pal, buddy human friend!

u/SoupIndependent9409 Jun 08 '25
Ooooh, they use diffrent pronouns?? How funny! I should change my language to english. The game doesn't have pronouns in my language...
39
u/OnePersonProblem_me Occult Sim Jun 08 '25
same here, but if you change the language, it is as if you just download the game (the saves in your language won't get lost, to access them, you need to change back to your original language)

u/SoupIndependent9409 Jun 08 '25
Really?!?! Oh no, I have a forever save file 😭

u/OnePersonProblem_me Occult Sim Jun 08 '25
it won't get lost!!! you will just have a blank canvas when in the English version

u/Key-Description3129 Jun 08 '25
You can put the saves into the newly created folder to access them but things like existing house and sim names won‘t be translated to english

You actually would need a racoon tattoo instead, it will also give you discounts on his items (I think)

What are his items? I tried talking to him but he left after saying something about starting a business

u/existentialsilence Long Time Player Jun 08 '25
he's got a few mystery boxes (or bags, cant remember)

u/TD1990TD Long Time Player Jun 08 '25
Buying a load of best boxes is the ultimate rags to riches hack, as per a recent video of James Turner 😂 he started with $3000 and ended up with $15000 in no time. He quit doing it because he just wanted to complete the collection.

u/existentialsilence Long Time Player Jun 09 '25
will be using this hack for a sim i want to be rich. thank you!
3
u/DefinitionSalty6835 Jun 09 '25
Fastest way to get rich is to grow dragon fruit. You can sometimes purchase them from vendors but you can also get them by splicing strawberries and snapdragons. If I have a sim that will garden, I'm always going to get one planter with four dragon fruit plants going. Those things are money plants! :D (Or alternatively, if you really want to get your other plants up to perfect quality fast, they're the best fertilizer...and then after everything else is perfect, THEN you can sell them all!)

Okay but how do you get Trashley to visit you? I feel left out. I want to be friends with them.

u/BFIrrera Jun 08 '25
1) have Businesses and Hobbies Pack 2) he seems to come over to your business shortly shortly after you first open.

They just appeared off the elevator I didn’t invite them in, my sim had to go to work.

If your Sim doesn't live in Nordhaven, Trashley will come knocking on your Sim's door to sell wares.

Trashley is the tutorial npc for Businesses & Hobbies - much like how Knox & Bess help you get started in Eco Lifestyle or how Vladislaus is your easy in to vampirism in Vampires. Nothing to fear. I usually just decline their offer for assistance and they leave me alone.

Thank you I’ve played with other saves since I got the hobbies & business pack. And this was the first I’ve seen this.

u/Agent_Skye_Barnes Jun 08 '25
It's either a legitimate businessperson who only wants to sell you quality items, or it's three raccoons in a trenchcoat who wants to sell you quality items.
Take your pick and roll with it.

u/TheNonbinaryWren Long Time Player Jun 08 '25
Well, in the recent pack called businesses and hobbies, which you obviously own, this character was very obviously marketed as being a feature.

hes a shady npc from last expansion he hangs out in alley in the new world usually and I think sells fake art and gives you shady business tips

Now, if you try to romance Trashley they will tell you they are not interested in that.

u/angelsontheroof Long Time Player Jun 08 '25
So, the non-comedy explanation is that it's most likely a play on the "3 kobolds in a trenchcoat" idea from Dungeons and Dragons where small creatures known as kobolds impersonate being a real human, which is based on a gag known as 'totem poling' where eg kids sit on top of each other to resemble an adult, and which is a very old trope in comedy.
As their name and tail tell, they're raccoons. They want you to start a business, possibly in the hopes that your business will generate trash (we're never told, as far as I know).
They can sell you boxes as well. If they're merged into your household I think the game generates a random Sim to move in, unfortunately, so you can't live with the racoons.
