My sims will walk to the furthest bathroom every time they choose to go to the bathroom. For example, a sim in the master bedroom - on the second floor of the main house - will walk past the master bathroom, down the stairs, outside into the pool building, up the stairs, and into one of the bathrooms there. The toilets are different, but the most expensive one is in the master bathroom (the Swan Throne in the main house and the Potty Mouth 2.0 in the gym area).

Same problem. I have a huge mansion with 6 bathrooms, plus a seventh bathroom in the basement. My sims always choose the one in the basemnt, even if they're on the second floor, the one with the larger number of bathrooms.

It's frustrating because it takes a lot of time (like most of the sims4 actions) and sometimes they pee themselves because they were too far from that specific toilet.

I've put a restriction on the door, so they don't go there anymore, but it's not a solution because now I don't have a bathroom in the basement that is where the gym is....

Maybe the gym is the problem, who knows....(jk 😉)

Yeah I get this too when I use auto-solve. It seems like proximity isn't even taken into consideration. Also neat sims will clean objects when I click auto-solve hygiene so I'd say there's generally issues with auto-solving. Oh and they might choose to take a nap instead of sleeping when trying to auto-solve energy at night.

I have a similar problem too, when I use Auto-solve toilet, most of the time they always choose the farthest toilet. If I then queue up auto-solve hygiene after the toilet command, they don't use the shower in the bathroom they are already in, but change and go to another one, very often the one I wanted them to go to in the first place.
