Sims will not use the dishwasher?

@graceymanors, while I often get Sims who start to clean up the dishes and then change their minds and put them down somewhere, they usually don't only do one dish at a time!  🤨🤔  I don't know what is causing that.  YOu might be right by saying that particular Sim might be glitched.  Have you tried to reset her yet? 🤔  To do that, open up the Cheat Box and press "Ctrl" + Shift"+ "C".  In the box type "resetsim Sim Name" 

-- so if your Sim was Bella Goth, you would type "resetsim Bella Goth" (without the quotes) and press "Enter".  I don't know if it will work in this situation, but it is very handy in a lot of situations! :eahigh_file:

I'll see what else I can find in case this doesn't work, but hopefully it will!  Thanks for updating us about the dishwasher! 😇  At least other Sims can now use it normally! 😉

@graceymanors, I forgot to ask what the traits are for your Sim that only puts one dish in the dishwasher at a time?!  Does she have the Lazy or Slob traits, by any chance 🤔  

Also, have you tried to click on the dishwasher and have her "Load Dishwasher" when there are more than one dish lying around.  She might respond to that command better. 😉

Neat is one of the traits I don’t remember the others I’m currently on vacation until Thursday away from my pc but when I get back I will try again

Dishwashers in The Sims are standalone appliances, and the surface of a dishwasher can be used for food preparation. Broken dishwashers will leak, creating floods that need to be mopped up. Sims can and will use broken dishwashers, and using a broken dishwasher will cause even more flooding. Trying to repair a dishwasher without mopping up the floods in front of it increases the risk of electrocution. Due to the way objects work in The Sims, recolors of Maxis objects are separate objects. Therefore, recolors of Maxis dishwashers may have prices that are different from the originals. Kids are able to use dishwashers, even though the game states that they can only be used by adults. Due to all these problems I don’t like to use a dishwasher in Sims, I use one in real life from ianboer.com.au

Thanks for the info 🙂 I no longer play but I bet someone else will find this info helpful! Gave ya some xp
