Sims will not wash dishes (Patch 1.63)

I am playing on the new penthouse lot that came with the lovestruck expansion pack. I just finished the build, and now my sims won't use the kitchen sink  or the dishwasher to clean the dishes. They automatically go to the sinks in the bathrooms, but when I set their sink type to bathroom an leave only the kitchen sink as "all", they will not clean the dishes. The sim picks up the dishes and then puts it back down again. I have tried to delete the whole kitchen, use different counters, bulldoze the lot and redownload the build, delete oven and microwave, and it still does not work. The only this that seem to work is if I move the counter to stand alone in the middle of the room, then the sim will use both the sink and the dishwasher. This is very frustrating and is ruining my experience with the new pack. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

  • I keep saying to clean up dirty dishes and the sim will just pick up the plate and set it back down and never wash it.

    I am also having the same issue where my business is full of dirty plates I can't clean. To stop sims being angry about the mess I have to pick them up in build mode and store them in my household inventory. 

  • Since the update on July 1 my sims will not wash/ clean/ tidy any dishes.
    They will stack them all into a pile but then will not complete the action of cleaning them in the sink or placing them into the dishwasher and just place them onto the counter top.
    I do not have any mods or cc and have restarted my game.

    You have a plate/dish somewhere hidden up on a shelf where your sim can't reach.  Look through every corner, every room, in your house to find where the plate is hidden.
