Sims not using the correct sinks after update.

★★★ Novice

After the most recent update my sims are not using sinks logically. When they go to the bathroom they will frequently attempt to wash their hands using a sink on the other side of the house despite the bathroom already having a sink.

Same here, it can be seen in some of James Turner's recent videos too. Sims very rarely use the sink right next to the toilet, they tend to go to another sink located further away. This was not the case before the patch.

I'm seeing this too, currently playing in the Villareal HH. It's weird though, sometimes they will use the sink in the bathroom they are in, but most of the time they won't. I've tried moving all objects away from the sinks in case there was a routing issue, but it clearly isn't that.

It's the weirdest thing! My Sim will use the bathroom, and then go to the top floor of my 4 story house to wash their hands! Smh

Yup! I have a 3-level house (a bathroom for each floor), and I queued up my sim to use the bottom-level bathroom to relieve her bladder and then shower.

 

She used the toilet ... then walked to the other side of the house, went up two flights of stairs, washed her hands in the top-level bathroom sink, and then trudged all the way back down to the lower-bathroom to shower ................. You know, the shower that was right next to the toilet she'd just used, and right across from a perfectly good sink.

@Linkyop Sims often have a lot of routing issues with sinks. Did this happen regardless of whether the mods and/or custom content was removed?

Yes. Happens no matter of mods installed. And I even reinstalled entire game today to check it without mods.

@Linkyop I've had a similar issue in previous versions of the game. I'm wondering if a bug fix to discourage Sims from washing up in random sinks has messed with how Sims are choosing sinks in this situation.

Well, I didn't had this problem before HSY update at all, so something messed up there.
