[OPEN] [VGSP] [BDK] Butler/Maid trying to vacuum puddles

Product: The Sims 4

Platform: PC

Which language are you playing the game in? English

How often does the bug occur? Only when the maid tries to clean up a puddle

What is your current game version number? The most current? I'm not sure

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except For Rent

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Hire a maid and have your sim leave a puddle of water on the floor. The maid will eventually try to use a vacuum to clean it up instead of a mop.

What happens when the bug occurs? The maid will use a vacuum instead of a mop. I'll reset the maid several times before they'll finally use a mop. The most recent occurrence I had to reset the maid 7 times.

What do you expect to see? The maid using a mop instead of a vacuum.

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Not sure. I haven't changed my system.

Please describe the patch or change you made. only updates from EA

Yeah so Butler always tries to vacuum every time all trash piles before realising that they can't and only after lot of time will finely pick it up. This takes a lot of time and you can't have several Butlers so I would like to this bug to be fixed.

I have every pack, no mods, happens 100% of times and started after the vacuum kit.

Butler keeps vacuuming trash piles without anything happening and after a long time, they have to finally just pick it up. It takes so long my sim have to do it. Same thing with puddles. And Horse poo.

I have every pack and kit, started with vacuum kit download, 100% of time and don't use mods.

This issue is very annoying because the vacuuming animation takes too much time, and it doesn't actually clean the puddles. Maids sometimes will spend too much time trying (and failing) to vacuum puddles, that by the time their shift is over, the house still is still dirty.

I want to mention that if you have Horse Ranch and you are living on a ranch with horses, having a maid is a nightmare. They literally spend all day trying to vacuum the horse manure. And just like puddles, it doesn't actually clean anything! They will waste their entire shift outside and ignore almost everything else.

I'm going to have to decide this is not a bug, just bad design. It's universal in my game, not just maids and butlers. Everyone thinks vacuuming puddles and manure etc. is the only way to go. Bust the dust indeed.

Literally happened to me too. At least the puddle went away after the maid was done vaccuming.
