this is REALLY annoying

Put a expensive high hygiene rated sink in the kitchen and the cheap low rated hygiene sink in the bathrooms. From my experience Sims use the best sink in the house. The same goes for counters. Having expensive counters in the bathroom with cheaper counters in the kitchen allows my Sims to prepare food in the bathroom even if it's farther away. Also pay attention to what is on the wall or hanging from the ceiling and what clutter is nearby. Upgrade dishwashers if your Sim can.

I had cc cheap counters in the kitchen and more expensive counters in the upstairs bathroom. My Sims were going upstairs to prepare food and wash dishes when there were 4 open counters and a nice sink in the kitchen. I swapped out everything making the bathrooms less than the kitchen and now all is good.

If you take away all the sinks and have city living use the talking toilets. After the toilet knows your Sim more options open up in place of the question marks. Use and sanitize is one option. Even with a sink in the bathroom Sims will not need to wash their hands if you pick the use and sanitize option.

This is an annoying situation but no mod is needed. Just outsmart your Sims. The don't wash dishes where you angry poop is an awesome name for a mod!

Well in my case the cc cabinet I used was not tagged as a cabinet in build mode, maybe that’s why. It was tagged as a wall shelf, like the Island living and laundry day shelves. Maybe that’s why, I don’t know. But now I changed it they use the dishwasher. They only use the sink to drink water I think. I’ve never seen them wash a single dish in it :confused:

My sims wouldn’t use the dishwasher. I found out it was because there was a cabinet above it (cc, maybe that’s why because the game ones seem fine), I replaced it with a small cabinet and now they use it instead of washing the dishes where they wash their poopy hands !

Also make sure there’s not an island counter in front of the dishwasher because then they often won’t use it either....

I do use CC cabinets and counters. Grrr. I used to be so anti-CC with Build/Buy objects but lately I found some great Sim creator packs and I started getting addicted and now it's coming back to haunt me. lol.

I turn on MOO and place the Laundry Day cleaning bucket under the bathroom sinks. It means they don't use the bathroom sinks but I find I don't mind that.

Are you sure you don't have something blocking your sim's pathway, like, furniture or display shelves?
I'd create a test save to re-arrange the kitchen. For example: expand walls, replace/upgrade dishwasher, place shelves or cupboards up higher, etc.). I'd also start a new save where you're not using any mods/cc and see if that helps.

I've had an occurrence like this once, but more so for them not cleaning up dishes.

100%. I directed the sim to get a glass of water from the kitchen sink and he was able to do so no problem.

That's great!

It is ashame that one cannot use options such as the sinks in the game as they were designed to be used w/o an mod. This problem with the sinks happens in my game as well and I do not use mods in my games but I became sort of numb to that problem and let the sinks stay for decorative purposes and let them wash them in the bathroom sink.It goes to show me Sims 4 has problems as Sims 3 may have and the AI is not that smart.

used to have that problem in every sims game I played. Yes it is frustrating but no more frustrating than washing my dog on the game and him going through the trash like a second later. really would not be a sims game without those.
