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.

The sims don’t even move while vacuuming.

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.

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.

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.

I beg to differ. :smile:

We already have mopping animations for cleaning water puddles.

The mop animation is more similar to the vacuum than sweeping with a broom would be, though. People don't sweep in the way that the sims mop.

Then add a mop. ? Either way I don't see it being too difficult.

Dust Allergy trait is missing

Dust allergies, but I still think allergies should be more of a tab on their own, rather than one of three traits.

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.

THIS. This is the one and only reason I now have the dust toggled off. What a waste of money that was.

And, yes, I know there are mods to get rid of it. But I want to be mod-free in my current game.

Perhaps it would have been better if dusty floors were actually a choice in build/buy mode instead of game? That way the houses that are meant to look dirty won't get cleaned and those that must be clean won't get dirty.

I agree the animation for hoovering is like mopping.
A sweeping animation would most likely have to be included in an expansion. You’re right a kit won’t include that much detail.
