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?
My Sims will walk past the best sink and go to a sink outside
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem.
I have no mods, I cleared all possible caches, I did a repair of the game and I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
And my sims will wash their hands in a sink opposite the used toilet when there is one right next to it.
It's been going on since the arrival of the high school pack despite the last update.
hii i didnt have this problem before i moved my household into a home that's like 4x bigger than the apartment they previously lived in. my sims walk all the way from one corner of the first floor to the other to wash their hands. yes i have cc downloaded but i don't think taking them out will solve anything lol
