    If you have dust to bust and clean floors (always +2inspired) it’s because of this buff. Kids makes mess if they inspired (It's sadly her favorite autonomy behaviour). You have 6 options:

    1. Disable Autonomy
    2. Remove the buff with a mod (ModTheSim, Lotharihoe or Zero)
    3. Use a mod to block the autonomy make mess (Bienchen or MCM Tuner)
    4. Don’t clear the floor for the other buff +1happy
    5. Remove the Kit completely via -disablepacks:SP22
    6. (Disable the Kit under game option // Toggle don’t work, it’s a bug //)

Yeah, my worst of the worst had the creative trait but lived with two level 10 parents and two level 10 grandparents.  If he was awake and on the lot and I didn't have tasks queued up for him, he was making a mess.  He had maxed responsibility. 

A child with maxed responsibility who is punished every waking minute for making messes every waking minute shouldn't continue to make messes!

Hmmm. Maybe you should try what I do in these situations. Rather than 'steadily increase the severity of punishments' just start off Strong, with the Strict Yelling Option. It may take a time or two . .. or three (haha) but it does get the job done.

This seems to happen for my sims very early in the Childhood Age Stage, after 'correcting' the situation several times, that seems to take care of the problem.

**Also, don't forget after 'yelling' to then Influence the child to 'clean up the mess'. After a time or two of that 'exercise' they will 'think twice' about making further messes. 😉

    Under normal circumstances yes, but this is acting more like a glitch in the game sequence. I've played the sims for years and never have I had this issue of constant messes being made by children in a repeated loop. And its not just one sim family, its all of the sims families I have in one game save.
