My sims are constantly using the bathroom sink to wash dishes instead of the kitchen sink. The kitchen sink is closer ( they walk right by it ). I even told my sim to "load dishwasher" and she still took the dishes to the bathroom. Is there a mod to fix this? or something in game to fix it?

Try this mod.
Sometimes I have houses with no sinks at all, just a dishwasher and a bin. Saves time in the bathroom too!
Also make sure there’s not an island counter in front of the dishwasher because then they often won’t use it either....
I’ve also found other routing issues where they need to climb down stairs to get to the other side of the room when they could have just walked over there.
Click your sim: MC Command Center/MC Tuner/Enable Autonomy Scan. Click the object you want to change, then Autonomy Scan. You can then pick from a list what actions you want to disable.
It has saved my sanity.

Thanks!
I do use CC cabinets and counters. Grrr. I used to be so anti-CC with Build/Buy objects but lately I found some great Sim creator packs and I started getting addicted and now it's coming back to haunt me. lol.
I'd create a test save to re-arrange the kitchen. For example: expand walls, replace/upgrade dishwasher, place shelves or cupboards up higher, etc.). I'd also start a new save where you're not using any mods/cc and see if that helps.
I've had an occurrence like this once, but more so for them not cleaning up dishes.
100%. I directed the sim to get a glass of water from the kitchen sink and he was able to do so no problem.

i think the devs should implement a feature that lets the player designate which one is the kitchen sink, similar to the one that lets you choose the front door. i don't know why they haven't yet, seems like such an easy fix
I had cc cheap counters in the kitchen and more expensive counters in the upstairs bathroom. My Sims were going upstairs to prepare food and wash dishes when there were 4 open counters and a nice sink in the kitchen. I swapped out everything making the bathrooms less than the kitchen and now all is good.
If you take away all the sinks and have city living use the talking toilets. After the toilet knows your Sim more options open up in place of the question marks. Use and sanitize is one option. Even with a sink in the bathroom Sims will not need to wash their hands if you pick the use and sanitize option.
This is an annoying situation but no mod is needed. Just outsmart your Sims. The don't wash dishes where you angry poop is an awesome name for a mod!
That's great!
