Sims Still Washing Dishes In Bathroom & Putting Earwax In Salads
Ever since Sims 4 came out, my sims have preferred to wash their dishes in bathroom sinks instead of the kitchen, and they usually put earwax into their salads.

I'm not sure if this absolutely true, but there seems to be a logic to it.
Next time I have this problem, I will look at the layout of things.
Another question is, after using the toilet, why do they ignore the bathroom sink in the bathroom they are currently in to go wash their hands in another bathroom.
Because if you have a bathroom very close in proximity to the kitchen area then they're going to pick up on the sink in the bathroom and keep going in, but if the bathroom is further away from the kitchen then the coding of the game doesn't make them latch onto the sink in the bathroom and considers the sink in the kitchen the nearest sink, you can't always keep building the bathroom further away from the kitchen though so... the only solution is just not put a sink in the downstairs bathroom, there's nothing else you can do really...
They did it in TS2 as well not as much but they did it yus... but mostly only when the sink in the kitchen was broken or already being used by another sim, and then the game rerouted them to a sink in a bathroom so back then we had to have a sink in every single bathroom incase that happened. Now though? in TS4 the game coding has been altered where they just pick up on any sink closest to the kitchen regardless if it's being used by another sim or not... straight to the toilet sink LOL. Soo... i guess that makes it no longer necessary to add sinks in all the bathrooms.
It's also a good idea to add both a sink and a dishwasher in your kitchens so the sims aren't fighting over somewhere to wash their plates once they're done eating lol and if one of the breaks the other is working long enough so i can get the other fixed, the sims then see the dishwasher as the number 1 place to wash their dishes but they're rerouted to the sink if someone is using it at the same time.
