It's pretty much the only kit that I've ever cared about. It needs mods to fix the issues with it but that's not anything unusual in the Sims 4. I enjoy it a lot and most of my sims take part in vacuuming now.

I think the idea of a Gameplay Kit is a great idea, and I hope they do another. But I think Bust the Dust was mostly a Bust.

Okay first I'm sorry I haven't Bin online much for this thread :#
in hospital right now. had a break from simming, as Bin playing this game since 2014. need a break now and then. hooked again thanks to the last few packs like cottage, home decorator <3 and bust the dust B)

bust the dust is my fav kit along side the country kitchen B)

I don't recommend bust the dust for every household and recommend turning it off when you don't want it, I wish we had house phones and turn off cellphones myself :'( and newspapers back.

we have had many great gameplay premium content for the sims 3 and hope we get more kits like them for the sims 4 like some of you,

baby change with baby monitor
bouncer
baby playpens
strollers
kid bikes
spiral staircase
toddler toy car

ballet skill
sewing machine
pottery's
bingo
canes
more magic items

so many possibilities

OR have a full-fledged game pack

don't know if you have noticed but big packs seem to be coming less and less. kits and the wonderful base game and pack updates seem to be taking over.
no fall expansion as to be a first :'(


yes can't wait for another big pack to

Personally I lost interest in buying gameplay kits due to extreme disappointment with Bust the Dust.

I prefer CAS and B/B items to gameplay. Leave that for the packs and eps.

disagrees, not really fair for simmers who do like gameplay to miss out, especially with us getting less big packs.

My guess is that they predicted that with their limited budget and resources gameplay kits would turn out like bust the dust. So they decided to stick to CAS and BB which doesn't require gameplay designers and not as much QA testing.

we only had that one, the next one could be something we want

I think it's too early to say that gameplay kits are a flop. We have only had one. There are so many directions they could go for. I'm still hopeful we'll see a gameplay kit that turns out to be worth it. But overall I'm just really loooking for new gameplay, in any package size. This year was really bad in terms of gameplay, because even the GP we got didn't have much of it.

me to. the sims 3 premium content had some great examples of great game play items like kits

Absolutely not! I really enjoy having another chore for my sims to do. I’ve also had very minimal issues with the pack. Even the robot vacuums work great when I want the dust but not the work for larger homes lol.

I like Bust The Dust. I love chores in game because I love realistic gameplay and extra stuff to manage for my sims.

I don't like certain aspects of it though. I don't like dust bunnies. I HATE the excessive idles every time my sims change floors. I don't like the excessive positive moodlets. I don't like the excessive autonomy for vacuuming. I use mods to tweak the aspects I don't like, and now I'm pretty happy with the kit.
