Sims won't use Dishwashers autonomously

Hi Simmers and SimGuru's I have run into an issue where with mods/cc and without mods/cc my sims will not use a dishwasher, autonomously. They only ever wash dishes in the kitchen sink (I do set all the sinks in my sims house to either bathroom or kitchen sinks).

I can click on the dishwasher and instruct them to load the dishwasher (I think that's from a mod, not sure - been forever since I actually played vanilla only do it to test issues to see if its from mods/cc or if its a game issue), my sims can upgrade Dishwashers, so its not a routing issue or from things around it preventing use. 

I have done all of the following to attempt to fix it:
- Nothing is blocking the dishwasher (I have tested with clutter on the counter its slotted into and without, neither option works)
- I have sold and replaced it with the same model as well as literally every other Dishwasher I have access to from packs I own as well as CC versions I have. 
- I have had my Sims visit another lot and returned 
- I have moved my family out and moved them back in to the same house
- I have repaired my game
- I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled the game
- I have tired it in new saves, existing saves, different households in new and existing saves

It happens with CC Dishwashers and Vanilla Dishwashers. It occurs in existing saves as well as new save.
