Re: Sims are chosing random sink after using toilet

[ Edited ]

I have seen sims try to target a ladder basement sink after using toilet in floor level area of house, while ignoring a perfectly good sink is in same room as toilet they just finished using.

 

It has nothing to do with the quality of the sink, they targeted this very cheap basement -utility type- sink in preference to a better, more expensive, and more contextually appropriate bathroom basin.

 

There needs to be a preference made for items used in sequence in a flat circle around the sim (not a sphere or that will target items in higher or lower floors than ones they are on), so they prefer to use items in same room they are in at time.

The same thing is happening in my game. I'm playing a game with three child sims, and getting them ready for school in the morning is hell, when they keep walking in on each other in the shower to use the sink in the other bathroom.

Adding my voice to the chorus. This was not a bug I had before 1.90...but I can say that about a lot of things.

Most annoying bug ever. Its morning, I tell 7 sims to use 7 different bathrooms to use the toilet and shower. ever single one of them uses a different bathroom for washing their hands resulting in all of them being embarrassed for walking in on someone. I have taken to canceling them washing their hands and manually directing them to wash up with the correct sink.

This is basically the last noticeable bug still happening for me since the High School Update. I'm using Windows 10, and it is happening across multiple saves. At this point, my sims are being better at choosing the closest sink to wash dishes than they are about choosing the closest sink to wash their hands.

Just want to add my voice to this issue as its been weeks since they broke it and nothing is fixed.

I play in a house with 3 floors and 5 bathrooms, and its a huge problem that they can't use a toilet without wandering around the house to use a far away sink.

Though i have noticed a pattern with where they go.

Top floor and ground floor bathroom will often go to the middle floor to use sink.
My eastern bathroom will go to the middle bathroom, the middle will go to the western bathroom and the western bathroom will go to the eastern one to use the sink.

So atleast to me, it doesn't seem to be completly random which one they choose.

This has been happening to me ever since I updated. Sucks, cause then my sims sometimes walk in on others showering. And now they're going to sinks on different floors, too. It's extremely inconvenient.
