Sims won’t clean dishes

Question

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.95.207.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Majority of themSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Idk or I’d fix it myself?What happens when the bug occurs? They won’t load the dishwasher. And there’s a certain part of the counter they’ll place the dishes and they disappear but I still have the option to load dishwasher. What do you expect to see? I expect to see them load the dishwasher. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? YesDid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No‌For whatever reason my sims randomly stopped using the dishwasher. I deleted the dishwasher and put it back in build/buy mode. I do have CC/mods but I haven’t taken them out to test things yet bc sometimes one of my sims would wash dishes by loading them in the dishwasher.&nbsp;that’s seems to no longer be the case. At one point I had two dishwashers and they would only use one. So I deleted the other one and the leftover one they would use but not anymore. I can drag dishes into the dishwasher but who plays that way?any ideas, tips to what maybe wrong and how to fix before I take out my cc and assume it’s a bad mod/cc.&nbsp;

In the area of the counter where the dishes disappear are there any shelves on the wall or nearby half walls? Put the walls up and check everywhere to make sure they aren't placing dishes on an unreachable surface. Even if a shelf is too high to reach and you think they'd never toss plates on it, they will; and even though they can place dirty dishes and glasses on high shelves they won't be able to retrieve them.

Yes, there are walls and some shelves but when I checked with the walls up, they aren’t there. It’s weird bc the sim will place the dishes down on the counter and they disappear. If I click on the dishwasher for the sim to load it. The sim will go to the counter, pick up the plate then set them back down in the same spot and they disappear again.&nbsp;

@artofficial100 Please always remove your mods/cc before reporting at the bug forum. If they disappear, that sounds like a mod issue more than the known bugs that are around with shelves.

I'll&nbsp; move this to game and mods issues for now for further troubleshooting.

Haha uhh so I didn’t take my mods out and before you stop reading, I have a test save file where I check everything before and after adding new mods or taking them out… well the sims in that save file have no issues washing dishes. When I opened the save file they didn’t have a dishwasher so I had them eat a few times and they washed dishes in the sink w/o me telling them to.

once I added a dishwasher on the lot, they continued the trend of washing their dishes without me telling them to.

so now that we know it isn’t the mods, what other options or solutions do you have for me? Could it be bc I am currently building the lot for the save file that won’t wash dishes? And by building, I mean I finished putting in the kitchen etc but have other rooms to create on the lot before the house is complete.

I can’t understand why that would be the issue bc as I said in the original post they used to wash dishes on this lot just not often or every time like in my test save. My test save has no issues washing dishes, but the save being referenced in the original post does.
