    Hello,

    I heard that Adult can't use Handheld vacuum on the floor is by Design. Adults can also use the handheld vacuum, just not on the floor. Handheld vacuum are intended to be used on the floor only by Child sims.

Hey there @Ulf-Gunnel and @Zerotheliger  thanks for getting back to me.

First of all, I understand that you were hoping for a different response and are frustrated but this is all that I can tell you at this point. 

I get that my initial post might not have been worded the best, but I can confirm that it was a conscious choice that adult Sims can't use the vacuum cleaner on the floor.

Having said that, We really appreciate your feedback and will make sure we pass it on to the team. For future purposes it would be great if you guys provide your feedback in General Discussion & Feedback section. 🙂

Regarding the robot vacuum, we already have thread https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-S-Robot-Vacuum-getting-stuck-cleaning/td-p/8187558, input from you guys will be really helpful for the team to track.

Thank you!

I can actually see why you might have made this decision. It wouldn't’ make sense for an adult sim to vacuum the floor with a handheld vacuum while standing up (as they’re too tall), so you would have had to create a whole new pose for adult height sims of kneeling down to vacuum the floor. I imagine this was too much of a task for a little kit pack. So I completely understand.
I don’t like everyone being so vicious to sims 4 creators. All your decisions have logical reasons that tie into your limited resources, or into keeping gameplay simple enough avoid lag (like sims 3 suffered from to a much greater extent that sims 4 in my experience), or other completely understandable reasons. I can’t stand the negativity. I’m really happy with sims 4 and don’t focus on what we haven’t been given (because what we have been given is awesome).
