I have cleared the cache, restarted the game, started a new save as well as playing in an existing save, and still I get the dust messes. I've disabled the pack completely just so I can enjoy my game again.

I'm not seeing the community lot in the same state as my home when I travel to it the first time.&nbsp; What I'm seeing is things getting dirty over time on the community lots like they do on home lots.&nbsp; The bar in Sulani didn't need to be cleaned until after four or five visits.&nbsp;&nbsp;

From what I have read from other users, it does appear that Community lots get dirty over time. I don't understand why this is even a feature.

@LyssaKi&nbsp;Was the sim's home lot dirty when you left?I'm not absolutely sure yet, but it appears to be that the cleanliness state of your home lot follows you to other places.&nbsp; Look at the buffs on your sim to see if they still have a cleanliness buff of some sort when you get to where you travel to.&nbsp; &nbsp;If your home lot is dirty, then wherever you go will get dirty if you stay there long enough.&nbsp; If your home is pristine, then wherever you go will also be that way.&nbsp; I'm still testing this though so right now it's more of an educated guess.So try getting your home lot clean before you travel and you shouldn't see dust and dust bunnies where you traveled to.Hope this helps.

Could anyone encountering this issue possibly share a save file with me where you've seen it occur? You can DM me the link to your save, thanks so much!
