I forget which patch started this, but they used to just collect a few dishes to wash. Now, they like to search the house for them
I think there is a bug or something now. My Sim used to collect more than 1 dish at a time when I asked them to clean up. Now--besides what you are saying, not only does my Sim search other rooms, most of the time they only wash 1 thing at a time. Like if I have 3 dishes sitting on my kitchen counter. Once in a great while, they will pick up more than 1--but the majority of the time it is dish by dish combined with them searching once in a while another room, for a dish. It gets kind of frustrating, as it takes a long time to clean 3 dishes--unlike doing a pile of them all at once.

Is anyone else having this issue??
Not I said Royai, might be a mod, do you have any?
No, only CC--which is not quite the same, is it?
And if I did--I took out both the Mods folder and the Tray folder and put them on my desktop--though, I did this while the game was downloading--as when I clicked on my Sims 4 icon--it started the download right away. I thought it would go into the start screen first and prompt me for the download. So, maybe this made a difference?? I don't see any of my CC any more in game.

This happens to me if there is still a little bit of food left on the plates. Otherwise, they grab everything that is either empty or spoiled. Takes them a long bloody time to wash them though, particularly in this case. She's cleaning up after a party. I do find the length of washing the dishes depends on the amount they're washing. Sometimes, I just wish they'd grab a couple, and then go back for more if/when I feel like telling them to do it. It's not a big deal though.

ahh...I will have to pay attention to the "bit of food" thing that you mention. I didn't think of that. I just noticed a subtle (or not so subtle change since adding GTW. And I agree on the party cleanup. Sometimes I just want to yell, "run, I say!" "run, you darn Sim!" LOL.
I normally cancel any Sims' attempts to wash dishes, and drag them to the sink or trash can (especially the one that pays 10 simoleons per household member) myself. But during her own wedding, one bride wanted to wash the many dishes on the lot (accumulated from the "prestige" event requirements of having at least four guests have food, cake, and drinks), and I let her for amusements' sake. It was quite a big stack, and took awhile to wash!

Lol. I know. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to making my sims wash their dishes. I think it goes back to my S1 and 2 days. I just can't bring myself to drag items to the sink or the trash. Sometimes, I wish I could.

I only do the dishes for my Sims in this version because I think the lack of dishwashers is absolutely ridiculous.

Hey, she really wanted to do it, and had a perfect wedding otherwise
They get like about five dishes at a time for my games. So sometimes it's like 5 dishes. Sometimes it is 3 dishes and 2 cups. Then they go back and get some more.

I wish. Mine will search high and low for them. I finally decided to play the party animal since I always shied away from it and I'm almost done. Two things I noticed from playing this aspiration. A sim can use partying as a career. They get rewards they can sell for money, and they can collect an amazing number of dishes to do at once.

In one household seems like they only do one dish at a time. The other household maybe more. But I've never seen stacks like the pics on this page! wow!

Same here. Most of the time my sims will only grab one dish even if there are a bunch right near them. Then I wind up using the hand of god to clean up because it will take forever to keep sending a sim back and forth to grab one plate at a time.

Huh that is interesting. Yeah my Sims go all over the house to collect dishes. It's funny when some dishes are left on bookshelves. I don't know if it is the routing, but some cabinets and tables it's nearly impossible to collect dishes from. I have to instruct my Sims like four times to collect them and when that doesn't work I have to click and drag the dishes myself. I really just miss having a dishwasher. I didn't have to worry about my Sims going to the furthest sink possible in the house to wash the dishes.

That's what I do too, so I think I find dishwashers mostly cosmetic (although I'd still like them). I never knew that's how that bin worked though, I wondered why sometimes it gave more money than other times.

As much as I want dishwashers back I don't see how this is proof we need them back.
Anyways, I love this feature. It makes it so much easier to clean the house and helps if you've lost a plate in a bookshelf or something.

Maybe.
I am not sure.
It depends how many sims there are on the lot and in my household.

Hm. I wonder how my squeamish clumsy sim would hold out. I'll have to get him to throw a party
