Cooking in the bathroom

How to stop sims from using the bathroom counters, or any other room counters to cook, when there are plenty of empty ones in the kitchen?
Sometimes they prefer to go up two flights of stairs to the furthest room in the house, even though they could finish making that salad right there. It's annoying. Any solutions that don't involve getting rid of furniture?

You could place decorations on the counters.

I have this happened so many times also! But my sims family usually runs all the way to the back outdoor bar to just mix the food their cooking. Then run all the way back inside to cook it. That's dedication.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll just put some decorations on the counters I don't want them to use. Seems like the best solution. :)

Don't try and have two stoves/fridges/anything food-related and keep one of them inaccessible for some of the Sims. They just stop path-finding to what you tell them to access.

I was having this issue to though i personally found it to be hilarious. My sims would take the food upstairs to the bathroom counter to prepare it then walk all the way back downstairs to the kitchen to cook it then take the cooked food all the way back upstairs to the bathroom again to put the food down on the counter.

This is a bit more complicated but try using the '[' to make something functional (a toilet, sink, bed, etc) smaller and use bb.moveobjects to put it into the counter top, so you can't see it. Then they won't use the counter top.

Oh that's interesting, thanks

I’ve had this issue too, except not so much with mixing food to cook, but with them insisting on wash their dishes in the bathroom sink even if the plate was next to the kitchen sink.

The issue is that you have multiple sinks.

Sometimes, the issue is that when you have multiple Sims, there has been a previous queued action where the action from another Sim was given by you or the computer (depending if you have free will on or not), before the Sim was given the order to wash the dish in the kitchen sink. If there was only one Sim, well... I cannot say exactly why. It's just like that.

I also had this issue so I just place objects on the counters that was not in the kitchen.
