A Question about Bust the Dust Kit

Question

I have a question: With the bust the dust kit, is it possible to exempt household(s) from the dust mechanic (f.e. similiar to laundry not happening when you don't have a washer with Laundry Day)?

The Reason I ask is because I'm trying to decide if I want this kit or should just give it a pass. If it's mandatory once installed I think I'll pass it, but if it's something that can be controlled as a mechanic I might be able to look into buying it. It's kind of a feature I want but don't want all the time.

It's either on or off but.."If the dust system is becoming overwhelming for you, you can turn it off in the game settings. Sims can still use vacuums with the dust system disabled. "

you can toggle it off but its sometime buggy. I would not recommend the kit to use without mods. I know 83bienchen have a mod under LaundryDayStuff -> dustonlyonlotwithwasher. I would recommend using this mod and not use the toggle from game. Self if you have it off in vanilla you can still get Dust Bunnies + Dust Piles and buffs.

Addition: Your sims will always be sniffing the floor if they enter the house or change floor. Its annoying, so no, I would not recommend buying this kit if you don’t use mods, not in this state. With mods you can tweak it all. I only use this kits with mods, in my vanilla game i have some of this bugs : Still has effects... ,Community lots get dirty , Rage Cleaning

@daikoyu Yeah the sniffing is kinda a no-go zone so that's a definite pass.
