I had exactly the same issue and it was driving me crazy.
What happened is that there was a dish stuck in the microwave that they couldn't remove and thus the microwave wasn't usable either.
I guess because they couldn't get this dish, they didn't know what to do.
I put the microwave in my inventory and it took out the spoiled food.
Once I put the empty microwave back, everything went back to normal and my sims could clean up all the dishes again.
Hope that helps!

sigh...After deleting the microwave, it looked like I fixed this but now even I don't have any microwave and I always cook food in the oven but I got it back.

Does anyone know if the latest patch (01/13/2015 – Version 1.3.32.1010) has solved the dishes bug? I don't see anything in the patch notes.

I don't believe it did. My game is fully patched and I'm still having this problem.

No, I don't think it was fixed
Good Luck

My sims often times wont do the dishes or will start to do them but put them down mid-task and I have to keep telling them.
There seems to be a similar issue when doing other tasks as well, for a while it was reading books.. sometimes I'll have them go
cook something and the action seems to cancel out.
Also, one of my sims left some dishes in on the sidewalk like a bum.. but now I cant seem to do anything about them. I try to have
my sim clean them but it tells I need a sink or trash can to do that. For the record, there's a sink and trashcan on my lot but I'm guessing
that's not good enough.. I need a sink and trashcan on the sidewalk??

@sarasim16 Merged your thread although it might be slightly different.
The sidewalk bug also has it's own thread. You might wanna consult the compiled list for that
Good Luck

Does EA browse this forum? I'm assuming they're aware of the problem?
I really want to buy the Sims 4 but this bug made me refund the game. The sooner they fix it they sooner I can "rebuy" the game.
