Please use this thread going forward: [DO] Dishes not being cleaned/disposed of | EA Forums - 12314870
Yes made two different restaurants on seperate save files. All with the requirements for the build to function. I even added two waiters stations and two dishwashers and two sinks into one of the builds to see if that would make a difference. The sims pick up the dishes, they don't wave their arms like they normally do when something is not working. The task just seems to cut out no matter how many times I select it.
@crinrictHanging pot racks, and some of the wall cabinets can also result in Sims not recognizing a dishwasher/sink underneath. The pot rack issue can be solved by using MOO and alt-moving them so that there is half a grid tile free. I remember someone reporting that even some windows can be a problem, but I haven't experienced that one.
I've also had one restaurant where there was a fireplace mantle that wasn't sufficiently cluttered, and the waitstaff would plonk dirty dish stacks there as well rather than take them to either waiter station available. Putting some decorations on the snap points of the mantle seemed to fix it.
No dishes on the shelves. I will try remove some things and move stuff around and see what happens. Thanks for your replies.
