Washing dishes in the bathroom - Mystery Solved!

Interesting. I always have a dishwasher and trashcan in the kitchen.

The video says if you have a dishwasher they will always route there with dirty dishes unless it’s blocked or already running.

Yep. I can't recall a sim ever washing dishes in the bathroom sink.

I’ve had it happen several times when I don’t have a dishwasher but I’m going to see if I really can fix it with these tips.

It's a funny thing this video came out approximately a year after this issue reported to be fixed:

Sims no longer ignore the kitchen sink and dishwasher to wash their dishes in the bathroom sink. Okay.

I admit they do not ignore the Dishwasher, but still think routing logic could be formulated better like using sinks having toilets in 3 square radius the last of all options. I'm tired of bugs reported to be fixed without fixing and piling on and on. Okay.

It doesn't happen in my game so much now, I tend to have all the things close together though cause that makes sense to me.

Mine do it, a lot. Even after the devs put out in patch notes that this was 'fixed'. I looked at the layout of the house in the video. I would have moved the common wall between the kitchen and bathroom, and make the bathroom the kitchen and vice versa. I seldom place a bathroom close to the diningroom. I do have the trash can just off of the kitchen in the hall near the back staircase. But the kitchen is the first sink from there. Not only that but I have two sinks in the kitchen plus a dishwasher. There's seven Sims in this household! I'll have to see what I can do to stop the washing in the bathroom skink issue. That really bugs, you know?

It still happens for me. I just don't put sinks in the bathroom. They can go to the kitchen to wash their hands.

I've got the opposite problem with Diego Lobo in his original apartment. After using the bathroom, he walks way around down the hall to wash his hands in the kitchen. But not all the time. Maybe 70% of the time. Idk. The bathroom and kitchen do share a wall.

I have a dishwasher in my kitchen and the sims will still go to the bathroom to wash sometimes. I have upgraded the sink so its faster so that it doesn't bother me as much
