Re: [BDK] Can't vacuum < 4 floor tiles - tiles still get dirty

Good question! I did not.

However, I recently realized that my vacuum was broken (after I posted this, I suddenly couldn’t vacuum anywhere else either; I first tried turning Bust the Dust on and off but that did nothing, so it finally occurred to me to check the vacuum itself.) so. I will keep you updated on whether that was all it was (can’t tell yet).

Side note: Repairing the vacuum seemed to be broken, but I’m not sure if this is a bug or just a result of buying the cheapest vacuum since there were no numbers for reliability. It worked initially but broke again before I’d finished cleaning; my sim’s attempt to repair it took so long that it got her from level 1 to level 5 handiness, at which point the vacuum caught fire and had to be replaced.

Update: Turning the kit off and back on and getting a new vacuum did not fix the original problem, so it does seem to be a problem with the lot itself. Which is really annoying.

I think I figured out what aspect of the lot is causing the issue, through experimenting.

This house is underground, with only a 2-tile entrance aboveground. You can’t vacuum on a floor without at least 4 floor tiles. But a floor with fewer than 4 tiles can still get dirty.

So if I expand the entrance to 4 tiles, I can vacuum it. That does work.
