Sims now more consistently wash hands in the sink closest to the toilet.

It seems like they just pick any sink that exists on the lot at random. There should be some way of prioritising the closest sink in the same room – not sure if that existed before and stopped working, or if it was always like that and I just didn't notice it that much before.
For PC/Mac players who are OK with using mods, you can find one I made for myself on the Hero approved mods thread. I tested adding a distance check to the wash hands action, so that sims will only consider sinks within a certain distance away from their current location. Not sure if that is the best solution or the one that Maxis would also use when making an official fix for this, but it seems to work well enough that I don't worry about sims using sinks on the other side of the house.
This is happening to me too. I own every pack plus the dust kit and I was at the lounge in Tartosa and my sim used the bathroom, then went to the next bathroom to wash her hands. She did it when I had downloaded a restaurant from the gallery, so I thought it was a pathing issue, but without CC and mods it still happens.
I recall long ago sims would use what's closest, convenient or best quality first, but they are all the same type of sink yet they act like the other one next to it is better, so something's changed in the many years since I played it. I only came back recently and updated to the latest patch.
Edit: I forgot to add this happens with bookcases too. If I select a bookcase and have them read a book from it, they will go all the way upstairs to read the book using the bookshelf in the room instead. I have no autonomy on since they keep cancelling actions like cooking to go play games when no needs are low but hunger.
