Re: [OPEN] Sims washing hands in different bathroom
July 2022
I notice this happens sometimes with toilets as well -- a Sim will need to use the bathroom, and (if you auto-solve the bladder need or if they solve their own need autonomously), they often won't autonomously route to the nearest toilet. Oftentimes they'll trudge up/down multiple staircases to a totally different floor to use a different toilet, even though the nearest one is available. (And because they're Sims, sometimes they'll pee themselves on the way, all because they decided to take the scenic route. 🤦)
It happens the most if there's one of the talking toilets on the lot -- they seem to prefer that one. So I wondered if it has something to do with the quality of the toilet? Like, do they route to the most expensive/highest quality toilet or sink or whatever?
I haven't noted every instance to determine whether that's the pattern, but more often than not it seems that when they go out of their way to use a sink/toilet when there's a different one closer, it seems that what they're doing is opting for the "better" sink/toilet.
Has anyone else noticed that pattern?
