[FIXED] [BDK] Floors become clean/dust bunnies disappear on travelling/Reloading

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.71.86.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? everything except the country kitchen kit and throwback fit kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? playtest your gameplay-based kit
What happens when the bug occurs? The dust bunnies I've accumulated disappear randomly and the floor becomes sparkling clean when I've done nothing to clean the house. I also ran into a bug trying to befriend my dust bunnies after one I had befriended disappeared when leaving the lot. This occurred once about a day into a new save file when I went to the park. I left with a dirty house and three dust bunnies. One was befriended. Upon returning my house was clean, and I had a "debug" object in my inventory that I suspect was my befriended bust bunny. Could not place the debug object. Had to recycle it to get it out of my inentory. It occurred again when my sim was sleeping around 10AM. The "love day tomorrow" notification popped up and when it did my dirty house again became clean and all three bunnies I'd accumulated at that point disappeared. None were befriended yet. Nothing in my inventory. Not sure if the seasons holiday notification was at all related to the house cleaning. I then allowed my floors to get dirty again. This time I could not befriend the dust bunnies because " I already have too many dust bunny friends on this floor" I had zero befriended bunnies. I decided to run a test and closed out my game with a dirty floor and three bunnies. Guess what happened when I loaded up? The floors were clean. Bunnies loaded but disappeared as soon as I unpaused.
What do you expect to see? I expect my house to remain dirty when it hasn't been cleaned so I can complete my new aspiration and enjoy the new gameplay. I shouldn't be stuck in my house or unable to shut down the application just to keep a dirty floor.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

    Tiny Homes will no longer magically get clean and have Dust Bunnies disappear (if Simmers own Bust the Dust) when Sims travel or Simmers reload the game. Man, I wish my apartment would magically get clean like that though.

    Fixed in Patch 1.73.48/ 1.40

    The patch notes say it was fixed for Tiny lots so if it's happening on other lots and is still happening,  please create a new thread.

  • Ulf-gunnel's "steps" bring up a good point: my lot is a tiny house. I didn't consider that in my original post. Unsure if that has any effect, though

  • Same problem - Befriended dust bunnies disappear when returning to saved game. I'm also living in a tiny (micro) home. 

  • Oops, yes. I'm sorry :O I have both issues and commented on the wrong one. Can you delete all this? I don't see the option. Thanks!

  • This has not been fixed yet. This bug has destroyed the sims 4 for me. My game is paused with the dust bunnies finally on my lot but seconds after the house loads they disappear. I want a refund and to remove this broken aspect of the game and my storyline.
