The name of this mod has me rofling!

This is an excellent mod and it's certainly not one I could play without. Thanks!

This mod is fabulous. I was getting really annoyed with my sim constantly going into the bathroom to do the dishes. Now, it's not a problem.. Thanks a bunch!

Thank for making this.

Bless You. Bless Your Family. Bless Your Cow.

So for those wondering, I have played a bit (quite a bit, probably 15-20 hours in the past few weeks) with extending this idea to cabinets and food preparation. No real luck, I'm not sure it's possible without rewriting the entire food prep process which would be buggy and incompatible with nearly any future patches. I did come up with some fascinating variants on the food prep process, though. I think my favorites involved the Sim picking up from the fridge, carrying it to a (wrong) cabinet, carrying it to the next cabinet, the next cabinet, on down the line until it reached the cabinet I'd set where they'd finally fix the food. Another epic fail resulted in Sims taking the food directly to the stove, skipping the cabinet prep stages entirely, cooking the food, picking it up, putting it back on the stove, cooking the food, picking it up, putting it back... etc.

The closest I got was them picking the food out of the fridge, putting it down on a random cabinet, then immediately moving it to the set prep cabinet. It was excitingly close, but not very useful as the first cabinet they choose for putting the items down could be anywhere in the house as before.

I had the brilliant idea of copying the method used for the stove to prevent Sims from cooking on a stove surface when that stove is broken, but it turns out their code for that is broken for the exact same reasons they've just bypassed that code entirely.

I don't know how feasible this is, but like banning certain sinks, is there a way you can ban sims from eating and doing homework on their beds. Or creating an option that only certain chairs or tables are allowed to sit sims to eat/ do homework.

I go ahead and create a beautiful shared children's activity/learning room and they ignore it and all do their homework on the toddler beds.

Heck yes to having this mod! thank you!

To the best of my knowledge the only way that could be accomplished is by removing the ability for Sims to sit on beds at all so that the sitting posture is not supported by the beds. I'm not sure how that is done, that's got more to do with object modeling I think, something to do with "slots" in the object model (don't laugh if I'm using the wrong term).

Sigh. I didn't think it would be that easy. Thank you so much for all the work you are doing. I doubt I could play anymore without these mods.

Thank you so much for this, my sims consistently walk past the kitchen sink across the house to the bathroom with their dishes...

Had a brain wave today on a somewhat different approach to the counter issue and to my immense pleasure it worked like a charm. Don't Prep Food Where You Angry Poop is now available to allow enabling/disabling food preparation at individual counters!

Thank You

I can't wash dishes now. The mod works but for some reason I can only throw away all dishes. There isn't an option to clean up anymore. Is anyone else having this problem?

I've unfortunately always had this problem. I use the default enabled mod so I can choose sinks I want off, disable every sink except for the kitchen sink and now they can't wash dishes, just throw them away. It's as if the kitchen sink doesn't exist! I've changed out the sink in the kitchen multiple times but it just doesn't work; they just want to wash them in the stand alone sinks, not the ones set on counters.

Can someone having this issue please reply - let me know what sink and counter combination you are having issues with, and if either is a CC download please let me know where you obtained it. I've tested this with most sinks and counters and haven't seen any issues, so will need help tracking down if there's a problem that can be addressed.

Ohhh, I didn't even think it could've been the counter! I feel a bit silly for not testing that now.
I first noticed it while using a CC counter and sink by peacemaker. But it's also not working with a base game counter and sink, I think that might be due to the mod by plasticbox to remove the backsplash on base game counters (I just remembered I had it in.) I'll remove that, test, and report back.

Edit: Solved the problem. Or at least my problem with basegame counters. Turns out, I'm a bit of a dummy. And this mod and the no backsplash mod seem to conflict. It's a bit of shame, I liked the no backsplash mod, but this mod is way more important.
Still having intermittent trouble with peacemaker counters and sinks. It seems to work the first time, but after that I only have throw away. (I haven't experimented with the madhox and plasticbox counters I have, either, just for an fyi.)

I'll look into the ones you've metioned when I get the chance and see if I can figure out what might be the matter. Thanks!

Thank you.
It also turns out that I'm just really terrible at troubleshooting. I forgot I had hanging lights over the sink, and definitely didn't think that they were causing a problem since they don't hang low enough that I'd think they'd cause a problem. I should really know better by now.....

Is the mod still working for the Feb. update?

Yes, it's fine

Hello @scumbumbo with this mod and/or your counter mod I cannot load the dishwasher etc. I tried some troubleshooting and did 50/50 and these seem to be the culprits. So far I tested the combination of the BroHill Wood Counter Solution and Industrial Dishwasher, though I have briefly tried other dishwashers. I will do further testing thank you.

The only dishwasher I have in my game, the professional, works fine. Are these other dishwashers custom content, or from a game pack I don't have? I found the Brohill counters but those require the parenthood pack which I don't have (or intend to get).

I'd suggest trying the professional dishwasher from the game on those counters and see if that works for you. That will narrow down whether the issue is with the counters or the dishwasher itself (likely the latter). If the dishwasher is what is causing the issue and it's a CC item then let me know where I can get a copy of it for testing.

Thanks for the bug report!

Sorry @scumbumbo I had a brain fart! My issue wasn't due to your mods at all (I don't think- I'll do further testing). It turns out I have some weird combination of route failures due to using the Maxis large round tables, (Option to load the dishwashers is greyed out when sitting at these tables!) and having 1. A shelf too low above the counter/dishwasher, 2. A cabinet too low above the dishwasher (Modern Wooden Under-Mount Cabinet to be exact). I will do further testing but that's all I got for now... Sorry again!

Thanks for the update, good to know it's not an issue with the mod!
