Since EA is doing refreshes, I sure wish they would refresh Bust the Dust and make it like Laundry Day, where if a family owns a vacuum then dust builds up. If they don’t own a vacuum then it doesn’t. Maybe they could add a permanently broken vacuum for those households they just want dirt to accumulate. This way, the families I want to vacuum have dust, and those I don’t want to bother with it don’t. Right now I have dust turned off, but I’d really like to use it with some families because I play rotationally.Oh, and this would be a perfect pack to add a broom for sweeping for off the grid, though it would be nice to also use magic realm brooms as well.

I wish it did, but I'm glad they at least made a way to turn it off somehow, although I'm not sure I'll turn it off. Vacuuming is less time consuming than laundry so I don't mind it on for all my families, all the time, especially if you have a robot vacuum.

You guys know there is a dust toggle in the options right? You don't have to disable the packs lol, you can turn it on and off at any time.

They should add brooms for sweeping the floor.

Bust the Dust refresh, please! | EA Forums

We definitely need brooms.

Seconded. I would have bought the kit if there had been a functional broom. Not all stories I play with my Sims are set in modern times.

Make the scruberoo spell get rid of the dust....
at least tone the sniffing of the air way down, remove it or make a toggle (same for the sparkles), it annoys the heck out of me.
And yes, sweaping please.

Yes! I can definitely live without the sniffing every time they enter a room.

Thirded. I don’t understand why at least one broom wasn’t included. ???‍♂️.
Growing up my gran had a big yard brush ?, something like that would be cool ?.

My guess is they didn't include brooms because brooms would have added to the development costs in a significant way. Kits seem low budget and a broom would have required additional animations.
