WAAAAHHH NERF DUST BUNNIES (No, Don't!)
Apparently Dust Bunnies are too powerful for some people. True, it's amusing to see how much you can make from the dust around your house. But if you don't like Dust Bunnies bringing you money ...

The fact that you're defending the nerfing of Dust Bunnies completely is the problem here. People are calling for content other people paid for (which for some might even be the only reason they got the pack.) That's why it's comparable to vampires.
The thing is though, they mentioned nothing in the live stream about getting free money without asking the bunny to search for it. They showed asking it to go search. I'll keep deleting the extra money but I hope in the future they think to mention things that could be detrimental for being playing certain challenges etc.
I don't see it very comparable to vampire. You know you are getting vampires when you buy a pack called vampires. It would be more like buying a pack called 'home taxes' then finding it includes vampires.
I don't know why people would be upset about being able to send them to find things though. It was shown in the stream and you can always just not ask the bunny lol.
Well to be fair, the people saying they want it nerfed implies they want dust bunnies themselves completely removed. Not just how many simoleons they're bringing in balanced. Or at least that's how it comes across to me
That's why I'm comparing it to vampires. Because dust bunnies were advertised as part of the pack, so people should expect there to be dust bunnies. I'm not even referring to the whole money bit. I'm literally referring to the fact that it seems people want the bunnies removed.
I haven't been paying much attention but I haven't noticed many calls for the bunnies to be removed completely, I've seen people complaining about the free money and about the value of gifts when asking them to go search. As you say, asking for things they showed off in the livestream to be removed, would be completely unfair, as people bought the pack for those things.
I have to say that as some one who likes the quirky things, I can completely understand why realism players would expect realism in a pack about a household chore. I would expect the quirky addition to have some way to turn it off. In that situation my complaint would be, not that some thing advertised and paid for should be removed, but that in the future they focus realism packs on.. realism.
It could just be how I took it too due to the title of the thread (despite it being tongue in cheek of course.) But if someone says "nerf the dust bunnies" to me, it literally means to remove the bunnies. But I also tend to take things literally so maybe I misinterpreted things. *shrugs *
I can defintely agree though on keeping realism packs realistic in the future. I think the bunnies are adorable, which is why I don't want them as in the actual bunnies nerfed. But yeah, going forward it might be best to keep the realistic chore-sy packs realistic and the quirky stuff in its own packs.
That's not what nerfing is though. That's removing. Nerfing by its very definition, is to reconfigure or redesign a character or ability to make it less effective.
I haven't seen a single person ask for dust bunnies to be removed. We're asking for them to be toned down because you can literally get 3 of them the second your lot loads up. There is no "just vacuuming" them. Your lot WILL be dirty multiple times a day.
