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,
Just want to add my voice to this issue as its been weeks since they broke it and nothing is fixed.
I play in a house with 3 floors and 5 bathrooms, and its a huge problem that they can't use a toilet without wandering around the house to use a far away sink.
Though i have noticed a pattern with where they go.
Top floor and ground floor bathroom will often go to the middle floor to use sink.
My eastern bathroom will go to the middle bathroom, the middle will go to the western bathroom and the western bathroom will go to the eastern one to use the sink.
So atleast to me, it doesn't seem to be completly random which one they choose.
There does seem to be a pattern to how they choose sinks, but the pattern is save specific for me. In my one game, there is one sink that is routinely chosen for handwashing, and it's in about the middle of the house. In my other save, with a much larger house, there's about 3 sinks they rotate between depending on where they originally used the toilet.
This just started happening to me as well, but it didn't start until after I added a 3rd bathroom to my Sim's house (for a total of 4 sinks including the one in the kitchen). If I keep my Sim locked out of the newest bathroom, I don't seem to have an issue with the other two, but as soon as I unlock it she'll start using whatever other sink is on the same floor.
I suppose I should feel lucky she's not going up or down the stairs to wash her hands.
I just started having this issue today and based on some brief skimming and some testing I think I have a solution.
The problem seems to occur when you have 4 or more sinks in a single household.
I recently added an additional bathroom to my 6 person household and this gave me a total of 4 sinks. After removing the 4th sink everyone went back to normal handwashing behavior. The way I have gotten around this is by removing my kitchen sink and just using the dish washer. TBH it is a pain in the butt trying to prevent my sims from loading one dish in to the washer but I am making it work to keep my 3 functional bathrooms. Other option is to condense your bathrooms so couples can take advantage of not being embarrassed while showering or bathing simultaneously.
