Sims now more consistently wash hands in the sink closest to the toilet.
Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78

Hey,
Having an issue with Sims never using the right sink, it's getting pretty ridiculous and wasting time. When they go to the bathroom, instead of washing their hands in the sink that's in the room, they either use another bathroom's sink or the kitchen's sink. Same when they want to wash dishes, they sometimes use bathroom's sink instead of the kitchen's one that's next to them.
Why do they do that ? I'd understand that they can pick the wrong sink if that one is closer to them than the one you'd expect them to use, but sometimes they even go downstairs to wash their hands even though they had a perfectly fine sink next to the toilet upstairs !
Does anyone know where does this come from, or even how to fix it if there's a way to do so ?
@Edahel @AlexMorr19 Hey there! This has been an issue for a very long time. There really doesn't seem to be a specific reason that is consistent. However, some have suggested that sims may prefer whichever sink is "nicest". Perhaps the sink downstairs is more expensive? lol
Another thing you might want to check is if there are any routing obstacles. Have you placed any objects around the sink you want them to use? It's possible they are somehow obstructing your sims path. Even lighting that is too low and placed above a sink may prevent them from using it.
