Re: [FIXED] Sims Use Far Away Sink for Dishes instead of Close (Patch 1.68)

There are two mods that fix this: Scumbumbo's Don't Wash Dishes Where You Angry Poop is the one you are looking for. It has been updated recently and is available on Modthesims. You install it and you have the option of selecting Don't use for Dish Washing on any sinls you don't wish Sims to use for washing dishes. There is also Don't Prepare Food Where You Angry Poop where you can click cabinets and choose "do not use for food prep" so that your Sims only use counters you have not given the option to. I know this helps me and it should help you too.

    @DDWard1972 I was testing this yesterday and then my game crashed (yes, so proud) and didn't go round of reloading the save so question: That doesn't make them use the dishwasher though if you leave the sink in the kitchen on usable, right ?

    @crinrict I'm not sure how they use dishwashers with it. My Sims will use the sink if the dishwasher is in use. The important thing to remember with that mod is to only use one of the files from the zip file, not both. I use the default enabled files so I can choose which cabinets or sinks to not use.

    Can confirm this has been happening to me as well, sims even foregoing the use of dishwashers for sinks. Seem to recall this being an issue a few years ago.

    I'm having the same issue but also I'm noticing it the other way around too!!!

    I moved in to 2-4-3 Wakabamori and it was really noticeable there as the kitchen sink, the toilet and bathroom sink are very close and I've not just noticed Sims wash dishes in the bathroom sink, but Sims that have just used the toilet are using the kitchen sink to wash their hands!  Not nice.

    It has also happened on the same lot with a different build on and a different lot with a Teen and a Young Adult.

    @crinrict I wonder if they accidentally did the "IF..." the wrong way round? Sounds like it. At least they used to use a random sink, now it sounds like they're specifically seeking out a bathroom sink.
