That is very frustrating. I hope this actually gets solved soon in the next couple patches and doesn't get put back on the low priority pile.

I'm still experiencing the creepy head turn when pausing after updating yesterday. Although it doesn't happen as frequently for me like it before the update.

@Brd709 there's a new bug report for the problem. They're asking for computer specs also.

It's fascinating how they keep on fixing minor issues in "Bust the dust" while the kit itself is unplayble due to no dust at all. Or did I miss something??

I have not had an issue with dust not appearing.

Do you have High School Years installed?

Of all the things to fix in 'Bust The Dust', the "sniff sniff" feature (which is what it was intended to be) isn't even the problem... the entire kit is literally BROKEN! Why are they just ignoring this!?

Nice list of fixes. Unfortunately the issue that bothered me the most, sims still moving after I paused the game, is still going on. Running off to AHQ now, to check things out.

Did you reboot your computer after the patching?

Yes, its still going on after rebooting, unfortunately. New post has been made at AHQ, so will follow that.

Instead of just an off switch, I wish they put in some effort to tone fears down to a more manageable level and adjust them to actually make sense. I don't hate fears, they are a good idea that were poorly executed. Why does it always have to be all or nothing with this game?? What bothers me the most is that I like whims and played with them on. Now my only option is to turn them off and lose a part of my game that I enjoyed or deal with the ridiculous overwhelming fear system. Neither choice is one I should be making in a game that I have invested hundreds of dollars into. Really Disappointed ☹️

@APotts like you I enjoyed having whims, even if they didn't always make sense. I would have liked to toggle wants separately from fears. If they weren't tied to fears I would us wants, even if they support way less DLC than whims.
