Bust The Dust Kit: Is anyone else having a problem with absolutely no dust accumulating?

I have the 'Bust The Dust' kit installed. I have the feature turned ON... however, my house NEVER gets dusty! I also own a vacuum (if that makes a difference). I've been playing for almost three whole game weeks now, but I have yet to experience ANY dust at all! The moodlets appear, though. My Sims will get the occasional "Someone lives here" moodlet, as well as the "Sparkling clean" moodlet... but NOTHING aesthetically changes to the actual lot itself. The moodlets come and go, but my house is ALWAYS 100% sparkling clean... and I don't have any mods.

Anyone else having this issue? Or know how to fix it?

    Yep, it's a bug. Here's the AHQ report:

    https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-BDK-No-Dust-Appearing-on-Residential-Lots/td-p/11674920

    Apparently, there's a workaround (detailed in the bug report).
