[OPEN] Sims stand/sit somewhere else instead of eating at table (Patch 1.68.154)

My sims always go outside to eat even though the dining table is right there (Shortest route) and has nothing blocking their way. They will go outside and eat in the pool (sit poolside) or eat at the outside table no matter the weather! This has been going on for a while and it's become more than a little annoying.
