Option to clean EVERYTHING

I hope I'm in the right place.

Product: The Sims 4

Platform: Microsoft Xbox ONE

Which language are you playing the game in? English

How often does the bug occur? 100%. 

What is your current game version number? 

Idk what that means, but I've done all updates. 

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything but Batuu and some of the newer kits. 

Steps: Create a sim in a new save, place any object that can get dirty that could get the "clean" option. 

What happens when the bug occurs? When I select any new object, the "clean" option already appears even when the object is not visably dirty. I thought it was weird that my sim needed to clean a shower she never used, but made her do it anyway. Cleaning the object did not make the clean option go away. The clean option is permanently there and it's on every object that can eventually get the clean option. There's no way to distinguish when an object is dirty other than the visual cues, which I occasionally don't notice on certain objects so I liked having it only appear when the object was dirty. 

What do you expect to see? I expect to see the "Clean" option only appear once an object gets dirty. To clarify my sim does not have the neat trait, the slob trait, or the aspirations that relate to wanting a clean or dirty house. I also do not have any lot challenges or lot traits applied to my lot. It happens everywhere for no reason on a brand new save. 

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not possible on console unfortunately. ☹️ Missing out on great things. 

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I was playing on an old save right before this with no issues and I'm up to date on all updates. It seems to have happened out of no where.

    Hi @Squiddysquads,

    Is this only happening with one household, or does this happen on multiple save files as well? 

    Can you list out all traits/aspirations/lot challenges you're currently using please?

    Just realized this Sim has the neat trait. I've never played with that before and I'm guessing that's probably responsible?

    Yes, with the Neat trait, your Sim will have the option to clean items that aren't visibly dirty- they'll want to clean everything all the time.
