Sim uses sink in bathroom even if bathroom is being used

[stjmk]

@itchyeye021 Are there any cabinets, appliances, shelves, pot racks, or hanging lights over your kitchen sink and dishwasher?

There wasn't any blocking my sims. Just to be sure, I remove everything from the kitchen and only placed a refrigerator, counter with the most expensive sink, and stove. My sims still preferred the bathroom sink instead of the kitchen sink. Maybe there should be a patch to make sims used the kitchen sink and dishwasher to wash dishes and the bathroom sink for personal hygiene?

@itchyeye021 If you tell your sims to wash hands in kitchen sink, will they do that?

[itchyeye021]

I will try that the next time I play the sims 4.

Have it happening as well. I thought this was fixed 😅

My Sim bought a penthouse and constantly uses bathroom sink instead of kitchen sink, even though it is right in front of it. Always does is when the dishwasher is not available. Her bf does the same, as shown on the picture.

In the previous apartment, she also used the sink in the bathroom upstairs in stead of the one in the kitchen...🤣 (already tried everything suggested in the thread, everything works, nothing is blocking anything)

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.80.69.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your sim eat at an island or kitchen table, in my case it was at the toasty kotatsu table.
What happens when the bug occurs? They'll go either all the way across the house to go to a bathroom sink, or to the one upstairs and I'm using platform stairs so it always takes them a bit and it's kind of annoying.
What do you expect to see? My sim use the kitchen sink or dishwasher which are right there in the vicinity of the island counter and the table.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

I've been playing this household for a while now, and every time they clean a dish whether its automatically or because I told them to, they will go to the sink across the house or the one upstairs. It's happened every single time I've done it so I'm unsure if at some points they might use it? I doubt it. But yes, I made sure the sink is functional as I've had my sims wash their hands or brush their teeth in it when I told them to.

My gallery name is Sindel910 and my build was the Kosetsu Tani (Functional) build. The other Kosetsu Tani was uploaded when I finished it in build mode so I obviously hadn't tested it out. So of course choose the functional one.

Not sure if this will help but I found that if there was only one tile between the dishwasher and, say, the dinning chair, the sims will not use the dishwasher and will opt for the closest sink.

With me there’s a while that this isn’t happening, but since the spa day refresh my sims keep going far to put away the food in the masks fridge, and I think this has to be same algorithm problem

I don't think this was ever fixed. Happens since years. I just saw it yesterday myself. 3 story apartment and the Sim walks from 1st floor to 3rd floor bathroom to wash 1 cup. Nothing is broken or blocking the other sinks.
