Overall I like the kit. It gives Sims something else to do and it is another realistic attribute brought to the Sims 4. I do however wish that some things were different or changed. There should be a duration slider for how long it takes for maximum dust to accumulate. I feel it comes back way too fast. You should be able to vacuum pet hair. It is pretty annoying that it gives you the option to do so but does nothing. What are your thoughts?

I thought they slowed accumulation in the last patch, I haven’t had time to play for awhile, and I never play with pets. I literally only bought that pack for the world, the bb, and the cas.

I have at least 5 mods just to fix all the annoyances that i found in this pack. That being said, i like it. I don't know how i played before, without houses getting used and dirty... it's the same feeling i have with Seasons. Since it first came out in the sims franchise story, and after i tried it, i don't know how i played without weather...

I like Bust The Dust, kits can add more chores for Sims homes like lawn mowing, aquarium care, swimming pool cleaning or wood chopping. The kit was patched in the last update. When a dust bunny appears, my Sim automaticaly uses his vaccuum cleaner full upgraded, and all the dust and the bunnies dissapears.

Options are allows a good idea, but compared to all the other things I want added to my gameplay options UI a dust slider is pretty low priority to me. I was fine with the original level with a household of eight, but, yes, anything outright broken should also be fixed.I don't quite understand the too fast claim. It never seemed too fast time in the respect that it would always be too fast to me. It's like laundry and every other mundane chore in the game. It is bothersome and must be taken care of. That is the realism point, and I feel my real life house gets dirty too fast too but all you can do is get cleaning.I do not see a lot of talk of it being unmanageable or twisted by other mechanics either, and it wasn't for me, unlike say how broken laundry is after hot and cold outfits and IL were added. Living in Sulani is laundry tartarus because Sims constantly go in and out of the water and leave piles upon piles for me to deal with-- Even when I am not playing eight Sims like I would prefer. I have also encountered bugs in general which will keep me from emptying hampers when I do loads of laundry and it just assures that you can never get on top of it. How many real life families have to have two full washer dryer combo set ups, a clothesline, and skeleton maid to keep their clothes washed?

I don't think it comes back too fast. I first purchased it the day before the Patch came out and I noticed a huge difference, in the dust accumulation, right away. May I have a patch to curb the dust accumulation in my RL house, please?

So would y’all still not recommend getting it in it’s current state? I’ve been holding off on it due to all the issues I’ve heard about.

I've been holding off too but it seems to be still pretty bad. Your sims only stand in one spot and vaccum, the dust is broken. Greenhouses get dust, it's just annoying.

@Akl500P Can you handle sims being inspired 24/7 and constantly spamming easels, bars and anything else connected to the inspired mood?

I agree. This kit is only bearable with mods, in my honest opinion.

I've seen parks becoming dusty!

? I haven’t seen this, even before the patch when the dust was a bit out of control.

It takes about 3/4 sim days for the dust to show up.

Overall, I like the kit too. But, I am using a mod to tweak the speed of the dust accumulation. I also didn't like the autonomy of my Sim being in the middle of writing a book for example & then stopping autonomously to vacuum. Once I put a few mods in place, I'm enjoying the kit a lot more. However, I do wish there was a toggle to determine which Save file to use the kit. I do play an occult save and I just don't see my vampires caring to vacuum, just like I don't have them do laundry. So there house is a dusty, dirty mess lol

I'm interest in buying bust the dust kit, but I've heard of the bugs it brought to many people. Nowadays, does that kit still give massive problems, or the developers miraculously resolved some of them?
