Sink

A sink is a plumbing object in The Sims series. They are typically used to wash hands, as well as dishes in the absence of a working dishwasher. Sims that cannot reach a working sink or dishwasher will throw the plate or the containing meal into the garbage. Sims can also wash their hands in sinks, which will provide a slight hygiene boost. Whether or not they will do so autonomously after using a toilet depends on the Sim's personality and traits.

Certain games and expansion packs include additional interactions, such as taking sponge baths, getting a glass of water, brushing teeth, or washing one's face. While these interactions are typically faster and quicker than using a shower or bathtub, they restore less hygiene than a proper shower or bath.

Sinks are available in buy mode in the Plumbing and Bathroom section. Some sinks are standalone, while others must be placed on a counter. Sinks will become dirty over time, and may occasionally break and need to be repaired.
