Well, at least yours do this only after dinner when they actually have something to wash. My well-mannered Sims keep washing non-existent dishes. Running over to the sink with this "wash dishes" action queued up only for it to disappear once they're at the sink because there are no darn dishes. Few minutes later, same thing. It. Is. So. Annoying.

This so much! It was so bad for me that I had to use a mod to stop it!

There is a mod? Can you please link me to it? I desperately need something to stop it! I have a vampire with superspeed and he keeps running off to the darn sink upstairs, too fast for me to stop it. I'm at the end of my rope here. :lol:

I am not sure if I can link it since there is another mod on the same page which violates the forum rules, but it is the MCCC mod by Deaderpool. There is a big patch coming for Cats and Dogs, but the modder is very informative on how to install it.

*EDIT* It seems to have been removed or I was mistaken, either way there is no longer an option to remove constantly doing dishes :disappointed:

I don't have this problem. Maybe because before they finish eating I put something into the 'todo cue' which has the tendency to cancel out cleaning. Not all the times though. I also find, that when household get to be more than two Sims, the dishes start to 'pile' up and when my sims start to clean up, either autonomously or directed by me, they start the walkabout as I call it and collect all the dishes & glasses that their family and or housemate have tucked away somewhere in the houses. And my sims are finding dishes in strangest of places.

Edit: I also find that hiring the maid or butler 'teaches' a Sim not to clean up after him-/herself.

Am I the only one who misses the dirty toilet from sims 3/2 ? Now it only gets dirty when pregnant women vomit . Some of those tiny little things made the game a little more fun.

Yeah that and making beds! :smiley:

I actually like that they do the dishes immediately after eating. That's what I do too. It feels good to get that out of my way.

@Celticgamer0 Where is the option in MCCC to stop that?

The exact opposite keeps happening to me, I want my sims to clean up the dishes but they keep throwing them on the floor and moving away to do something else

I think I have the opposite problem, none of my sims do dishes unless they are neat. :D I end up dragging the plates to the sink myself.

Can we trade sims?

I had thought it was under the tuner settings-> Annoying actions but just checked and it is no longer there... I had seen it there before. Apologies

I don't have this dishwashing problem, but I do have them going and washing their hands all the time. It's quite annoying.

That one I know is fixed in MCCC
