You are my hero! Thank you for this mod, it is really annoying to see the sims running to the bathroom to do this!

I've always found it strange how Sims scurry on into the bathroom with a hand full of dishes.
"Where are you going with those?"
"Uh, to the bathroom, duh."
"But the kitchen sink is RIGHT next to you."
"Yeah, well, I'm going to the sink on the other side of the house."
"Okey then..."
Lol, so thanks. It was a very strange thing indeed.

This is a good idea. I'll try to remember to look into this once I'm done with updating at least a good handful of my outdated mods, I don't think the process involved will be substantially different so it may be a real breeze to implement (crossed fingers).

Thank you, this got old and ridiculous a long time ago. Maybe I've been unlucky but it was at the point where every single household seemed like they were going out of their way to do dishes where it didn't make sense, regardless of distance or sink quality. Finally, the kitchen sinks are useful for something!

scumbumbo, it seems that the 'enable dish washing' setting is inverted whenever I load a new lot with this mod and choose the setting, but when I load the same lot again, the settings work as intended. So when I first play a lot, I have to invert the settings, but the next time I load the lot, I have to change them. lol

I'm not seeing this issue. I tried a couple of lots I'd never played with both the default enabled and disabled versions. Even tried a completely new game. Maybe make sure you don't accidentally have both versions of the script installed? And remember, if the menu says "Enable Dish Washing" that means it is currently disabled and you need to select that menu item to take the action of enabling it.

This will happen if no sinks are accessible that are enabled. You need to choose at least one sink and use the "Enable Dishwashing" pie-menu option to enable dishwashing at that sink.

I know, it's not rocket science I don't know what the heck is happening if it's just my game, but I'm telling you something is inverting the settings for me when I do it the first time for a lot. I could take a picture of it next time if it happens again; the sink that the sim is using to wash dishes, if I click on it it would say 'enable dish washing' while she is still using it. Funky, I know. Then the next time I load, the sim would go to the other sink which had the opposite setting, and then I have to switch them.
It's not really a big deal, since it still works, I just have to check the settings the first and second time I load the lot. I think it sticks after that. I just find it hilarious that my game does that to me, like wtf game?

Update: It seems the issues has corrected itself! I did a test save where I encountered the issue last time, and I deleted that save. I thought maybe it had something to do with the prebuilt lots, but this time when I made a new save and moved in a new sim into a prebuilt lot, the settings are as they should be. Funky! None of the lots I tested in my play save had the issue either this time. It's confusing, but hey, maybe it just was a temporary glitch. We just love those, eh.

Glad the issue resolved for you! I couldn't reproduce the problem any way I tried to, so there wasn't much chance of me figuring out how to fix it. Those kind of intermittent bugs sometimes make me hate it when one of my mods works perfectly for me, lol

This is one of those mods that you don't think you need until you see it, and the first thing that pops into your head is... "I need this."

So since this works and I noticed someone asked about counters for preparing food, I was wondering if something could be made for the different stereo's. If I recall, there were a number of complaints saying that November's update caused an influx of dancing fever. Being able to disable the dance option on stereo's would be handy to address this issue (mainly on public lots) and would allow the wall stereo's to be used without worry on retail and diner lots. Would also allow for a bit more manipulation where you want certain sections of a public lot to simply have music while sims dance at a designated location where you have another stereo located.
