[FIXED] [BDK] Still has effects even after I turned them off

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? all of them, including the kits
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? by starting a new save and then turn off the Bust The Dust effects
What happens when the bug occurs? the dust bunnies, dust piles and moodlets still appear
What do you expect to see? not the dust bunnies, dust piles and moodlets because the pack effects are turned off.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I have purchased the new kits and this is the first time extensively playing with them

Hello, I have bought the new Kits and after being annoyed with the five dust bunnies per day, I turned off the effects of that kit. The bunnies disappeared and there seemed to be no more dust/sparkle effect on the floor. My sim kept the 'inspired by cleanliness' moodlet though it disappeared after restarting the game. After a few sim days, however, the dust bunnies returned and there were piles of dust and my sim had a negative effect from too much dust. (I assume it only appears in the later/latest stage of the dusting because it was fine until then)

    "Bust the Dust" visual effects no longer appear when the Dust system is turned off.

    Fixed in Patch 1.91.186/1.63

    What do you expect to see? If the "Enable Dust System" is disabled, I expect it to not have any dust-related effect.

    I've been playing a new save in university housing (Drake Hall) for two sim weeks and I've had a dust bunny pop up twice. I went into pack settings, as I thought maybe I forgot to turn it off for the save but it was disabled. The first time, the original bunny disappeared when I ticked and unticked the enable system within the settings. Thought it was odd, but left it alone. Now a week later, I have another bunny on the lot. My sim is also affected by the "someone lives here" moodlet from a slightly dusty floor level. There's no visible dust collecting on the floor. The bunnies appear out of no where.

    Mods have never been enabled for this save.

    Edit:  I'm including a save file because my sim is now permanently tense due to the surroundings. T.T

    @thefailedbeta To my knowledge the bug for dust bunnies despite turned off hasn't been fixed so I'm merging this for the main general thread. thread.

    Bug is still happening, last day or so I had dust-related moodlets and today a dust bunny appeared in a house, with Bust the Dust settings turned off.

    The house is in Strangerville.

    Experiencing this currently with 1.88.228.1020.

    Seems to have began after hiring a Scheduled Maid service. She was vacuuming despite there being nothing there + then I heard the "perfect cleaning" plink-plonk sound. Now my Sims all have the "Fine" Sparkling Clean buff, though no sparkles or actual dust is present.

    When just a regular One Time Maid service came this didn't happen, but it was possibly coincidental.
