Problem with Bust the Dust Kit

I have the Goth house (Ophelia Villa) set as haunted, and that started getting a bit dusty the first sim day I played with the new kit.

My issue with the pack is that I switched the dust effect off and rotated to my next household and the game kept rewarding my sims an inspired moodlet for keeping the place dust-free.

I modded the moodlets and endless reactions to cleanness out of my game thanks to Zero.

My haunted house is nothing but pristine constantly too, despite not cleaning. I think the game is getting confused when removing haunted objects (scrubbing the slime up) and it's counting that as a cleaning action, and enough of a cleaning action to keep everything sparkling and dust free.

I think it might be a bit glitchy. Last night when I played the dirt appearance seemed to get stuck even though the game said it was clean.

I’m getting that issue too, there is a bug report on it now

Are you clicking on the actual floor? I only ask because if you have deco rugs down and click there, the option won’t appear.

I recently tested this. I started off in a normal house, after a while dust started to appear. 2 dust bunnies spawned, and I could check the dust level. Then I changed it into a haunted house, travelled somewhere, and when I returned the dust bunnies disappeared. I couldn't check the dust level anymore, and now the house won't generate dust again. I hope this gets fixed. :/

I just wish Maxis would dial down the dust/bunnies/vaccuming just a little bit. (I'm afraid of complaining too much.) It's times like these I really, really wish I was a modder and understood what those codes meant. I would even be happy if we HAD to prompt sims to clean instead of what we have now.

Apparently some fixes are on the way.

Dust Bunnies turn up with dust. The house being dusty is okay but it's almost impossible to have a house that is dusty but has no bunnies. There's no inbetween state.

My Sim got off work walked into the house and no option to check dust levels. Went into the basement check dust levels is available. Went back upstairs - off, back down on. Also found out if it's not available and you sweep the floor it's available again. I'm in a haunted house and it worked fine after I first installed the kit and would get dusty but (maybe after the last patch) it stopped. I've gone days now without sweeping and it doesn't get dusty anymore.

Cleaning up haunted artifacts count as "cleaning". If you are in a haunted house and it's spawning a lot of goo monsters, hands, dolls, tendrils, and floor markings, cleaning up these items to make the house less haunted also count as cleaning for bust the dust. (Same as mopping puddles from broken plumbing etc). All forms of cleaning count to help keep dust away so a haunted house actually ends up with a lot of extra cleaning.

It seemed to work fine before the patch for the haunted house because the over tuned regular homes would have made up for this extra cleaning.

I've managed to get dust to form in a haunted house but it was work. I used the table to keep the house serenity low so it wouldn't spawn as many objects. Less objects to clean up = less cleaning and dust was then able to form.
