I am going to delete every washbasin in my house !!!

Sometimes I don't have any sinks in my homes, stops the constant water drinking lol. Plus, hand washing takes so long! (EA should have shortened hand washing, not eating)

A nice dishwasher will fix things! Or, if they are into recycling, just forget the dishwasher and drag the dishes into the bin - hey presto - lots of recycling to sift through ?

Oh my goodness, my sim must think that the Corona virus is in her Sims worlds too. She is constantly washing her hands. I am seriously going to get the talking toilet that cleans your hands after using it and replace the kitchen basin with a dishwasher. She is obsessed with washing hands :o

My Sims are constantly washing their hands or getting glasses of water as well.

I might replace my sinks too. Good idea ??.

What a clever idea, I will do recycling, and you are right lots of water drinking too ;)

Yeah no mine are gone until we get another update, so funny its only with my new save game, the old one is fine. But gosh this has got to stop :D

In reality, I'm washing my hands in every hour
In my game, my sims also like to wash their hands

I used to not have sinks in any of my houses, then I discovered the best feature of MCCC. Tuner -> Enable Autonomy Scan -> Exit MCCC. Click sink -> Autonomy scan. Disable any interaction you don't want, like any instance of getting water, washing hands and doing dishes (I always have dishwashers anyway)

My Sims have been washing their hands a lot, but since I'm playing with Cottage Living it makes sense. I mean I just sent them to clean the coops and barn/stable, so I would hope they clean themselves after cleaning that muck!

I did away with sinks back in Sims 1 already, because back then you had to play efficiently. The chain was eat-toilet-shower, but sims insisted on wasting time on washing hands in between. They also insisted on washing their hands after each slice of pizza and that was with Free Will off. That drove me crazy, so no more sinks for my sims.

McTuner, as already mentioned, is a godsend, enabling me to take autonomy off sinks while still being able to include them in my builds for tooth brushing, getting water or aesthetics. (There's also a mod that stops the enforced hand washing for Sims 2, but ironically I discovered that one only this year)

I queued up things for the Dad in one of my households to take care of. He didn't seem to get around to feeding the Toddler. Instead, I found him in the bathroom still washing his hands? This was never an issue in my game before. For every two steps forward in the fixes, EA takes another step back. Oi!

Oh thank goodness. I have noticed an increase in hand washing recently in my game and I thought maybe I was going crazy. It's nice to know others are experiencing this too. I think I will use MCCC to turn off autonomy for it temporarily.

@mcrudd when you said washbasin I was like what are sims doing with laundry now? And why do you have multiple washbasins in your sims house for washing clothes - how dirty are they getting?

So sorta surprised when I saw you were talking about sinks ?
