Default Front yard clutter
I have a family of poorer Sims that live in a neglected house with weeds, etc. I'd like some clutter in the front yard such as abandoned toys, rusty junk, etc. Google only came up with Sims 3 stuff.
Cheers.

There's a Fallout collection at Garden of Shadows that includes a rusty trike. BUT - I can't seem to get to the site atm.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.
I'm here on tumblr and my site, tflc

Fantastic. I found it, thank you. That's a great start. I nabbed the teddy, table and skates as well.
Wondering if there are any broken fences around too.

Lots - try Cyclone Sue over at (hiss) TSR.

I'm sorry I can't post links - I think my internet is about to die.

I don't remember where I got it, but do a search for the "white trash fence."

Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.
(My simblr isSim Media Res . Widespot,Widespot RFD: The Subhood, and Land Grant University are all available here. In case you care.)

Thanks, I got a couple of items from her Urban Renewal set. (Man, that site is annoying.)

That seems to be part of a Rags to Riches set by Helena but I haven't been able to find a working link.

One search term that I found helped was "sims 2 grunge".

Here are some sites and pages. Mostly recolors, but they might work:

http://wotcher.1121.org/
https://x-inertia.livejournal.com/tag/buy%20mode
http://www.modthesims.info/member.php?u=1525314
http://www.modthesims.info/member.php?u=2962939
http://www.insimenator.org/index.ph...ff7&board=330.0 (Don't know if you have to be registered to see this.)
https://ghanima-atreides.dreamwidth...299.html#cutid1 (Fallout-ish, but perhaps you can use the barrel.)
http://www.digitalperversion.net/ga...p?topic=14205.0

Kativip has some items you can use as well. I get nervous using the site, but admittedly haven't seen much beyond sneaky ads.

Thanks to ALL free-site creators, admins and mods.

RIP Sunni ... truly a ray of light.

Guatla's stuff is adorable (above). I love the little cooktop myself.
I certainly have my share of trailer homes as well. I love these boxes and paint cans for the sims sitting around the table by the grill. http://modthesims.info/d/374283
I also use these rusty playground things a lot if I have kids. http://modthesims.info/d/318153
And, of course, the restorable car on the lawn.
It's not clutter exactly, but all of my sims get a few trees they can eat directly from in the yard. I mean ALL of them. This is a must for me. https://sunmoon-starfactory.tumblr.com/
Another new find for me that will be a new favorite, a dumpster, for that grungy convenience store they walk to http://modthesims.info/d/408938
And one more for the yard, a clothesline. http://modthesims.info/d/148596

Thanks all. Will check them out when I've finished work.
Edit: Finally got on the computer to check out the links. Some great stuff there, thanks.

Just to add, as I was looking for something else, I happened upon a broken fence

Broken train set here http://decatsims2.blogspot.co.nz/20...onversions.html
Toys in a cardboard box http://modthesims.info/d/320291
You could always buy a nice new doll house and have them break it, and move the pieces of it outside!
Another good set for rubbish http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=454087

I had an entire hood done with everything rundown and grungy.
Here are some dead plants and suitable terrain paints.

Garden of Shadows has a lot of grunge recolors and new objects. You just have to patiently search for them.

I did a generic Google Search and found this at TSR. (Yeah I know, paysite, but you don't actually have to pay, just be patient while stuff downloads.)
