[Common] Routing Issues [ Edited ]

[RyckRainthrottle]

Sims can't change appearance when a mirror is placed over a sink such as bathroom mirrors over pedastal or counter sinks.  The sim will get a routing failure and use a thought bubble to show the sink is in the way.  I have tried this with several lots and sinks and it is always there.

Thanks. I've noticed that too

I've been getting a lot of routing failures. Here are the main instances for me...

- Chopping ingredients for a meal sometimes fails for me too, but I haven't been able to isolate the cause. I'm not convinced it's the single counter thing. 

- When multiple sims try to use the fridge at the same time, the actions immediately cancel out. They don't understand how to queue, even for a couple of sim minutes.

- Sims can't pick up guitars or violins when those instruments are facing the wall.

- And this final one isn't a problem with a specific object, but if a sim tries to talk to someone who is facing the wall (or some other thing that can't be navigated through), they will get a routing failure. The sim being addressed doesn't understand just to turn round.

Hi,

While eating, socialing and listening to music sitting on a table with four chairs, sims will keep changing seats if someone gets up or if they start socializing after seating down. For example, two sims sitting side by side on the table would get up and sit on the other side, carrying their plates.

I have a shelf (the immaculate) above the stereo and the sims cannot upgrade it, repair it, or even dance because the shelf is above. I can understand not being able to repair or upgrade, although I think it should, but not being able to dance!?

RattlesnakeJuice Bar Routing from sidewalk onto lot upon arrival.

Tested on Vanilla Game

You cannot enter the Rattlesnake Juice bar directly from the sidewalk you arrive on.  Sims will always run to the side of the lot and then jog back along the fence.  I have tried to make them walk direclty onto the lot by usind the "go here" command but they still run to the side of the lot and enter.  It is as if there is an invisible wall along the entire sidewalk on the front of the lot.  Also, the parking lot in the back of the building is set as the front of the lot.  I tried placing a residential building there and it was facing the parking lot with the mailbox at the back.

It's not a matter of setting the front of the lot however.  I have tested other community lots and you can still cross onto the lot from the back of the lot.  The Rattlesnake Juice bar clearly has an invisible blockage across the sidewalk and sims can't cross it so they run to the side of the lot.  Its really driving me nuts to see that when I arrive with a large group of people.

I discovered that if there is empty space on at least on side of a pedastal sink they will walk to the side of the sink and can use the mirror.  If however the sink is in a counter or the pedastal sink is surrounded on each side by a shower, toilet , etc, they will get a routing failure as the cannot interact with the mirror head on from the front of the sink.
