Does the sim route fail? Check all shelves and half-walls in your builds, sims like to hide dishes there. That causes the following issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-can-t-wash-dishes-if-some-are-on-shelves/m-p/...

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Vampires and ROM
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have sim wash dishes
What happens when the bug occurs? I’ll tell my sim to wash/clean up dish or they will do it automatically. When they go to wash the dish, the sim takes the plate in another room and sits it on the coffee table, specifically, the one that has a brown table top and green drawers. It’s the parenthood type square one. I try to get the sim to wash the plate again and he puts it right back down. The sim does this about 4 times before finally taking the plate and washing it. Also, sims keep sitting plates down on the sink.
What do you expect to see? I expect for sims to wash dishes without further issues and to not sit plates on the sink.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Whichever patch was the newest.

Fixed an issue in which the Clean Up interaction would drop off the queue if dirty dishes were placed on a counter.
Fixed in Patch 1.63.133/ Console 1.25
EDIT: If you're still having issues with this, check if you have dirty dishes on half walls:
or lot of ladders
or provide your save if it happens otherwise: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-will-not-wash-dishes-Patch-1-63/td-p/9184556
