Sims now more consistently wash hands in the sink closest to the toilet.
Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78
please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,
I notice this happens sometimes with toilets as well -- a Sim will need to use the bathroom, and (if you auto-solve the bladder need or if they solve their own need autonomously), they often won't autonomously route to the nearest toilet. Oftentimes they'll trudge up/down multiple staircases to a totally different floor to use a different toilet, even though the nearest one is available. (And because they're Sims, sometimes they'll pee themselves on the way, all because they decided to take the scenic route. 🤦)
It happens the most if there's one of the talking toilets on the lot -- they seem to prefer that one. So I wondered if it has something to do with the quality of the toilet? Like, do they route to the most expensive/highest quality toilet or sink or whatever?
I haven't noted every instance to determine whether that's the pattern, but more often than not it seems that when they go out of their way to use a sink/toilet when there's a different one closer, it seems that what they're doing is opting for the "better" sink/toilet.
Has anyone else noticed that pattern?
Oh, and sometimes they'll do this with washing dishes, too. Even if the kitchen sink is closest, they'll take their dirty dishes to a bathroom sink that's further away. They'll even walk in on another Sim using the toilet just to use the sink.
@crinrict I'll check out that thread. Thank you!
Im having the same problem and it’s had nothing to do with dishes, it’s more about them using the toilet then bypassing the close sink it’s annoying.
Same here. It’s still happening with both washing hands and washing dishes. I don’t have any mods and repositioned the sinks without bb.moveobjects on.
Not rubbing it in, but the is the only constant bug i've had - all the other's seem to have passed me by. When i say constant, i mean it's there but not all the time like some others. And it's not a routing issue with my games, i always have large bathrooms/ensuites so as to give my sims plenty of room to move around. And yet, every 3rd or fourth trip to the lavatory .... bang, let's use another sink in another bathroom to wash our hands!!!! lol.
