[OPEN] [BDK] Bunnies and filth friends are too frequent [ Edited ]

[adduapina]

Now that I have played a bit more I'm having trouble with also the ratio of pristine/dust bunny. I mean that in order to not have dust bunnies in all of the rooms of my house, I must keep cleaning, which then results it being "pristine" all the time. This doesn't seem intended, there should be a normal option in between, right?

// edit. Changed households and even cleaning all the time in a tier2 tiny house (2 sims in HH) won't help with bunnies spawning all the time.

Also in that household they're unable to vacuum dust bunnies and the robot vacuum cleaner wont finish cleaning and is unable to return to dock even if told to do so >__<

A lot of us bought the dust kit thinking it would add realism to the game. I want t expecting to get a “thrill” out of fusing as you say. Also, I don’t want my sims to dust constantly and have to give up their jobs just to have time to clean their houses. All I wanted was a little bit of dust for them to vacuum and for the houses to look a little less neat and pristine.

I'm uninstalling as I type!  Way too much for my busy sims to deal with.  Hey!  We want to stay out dancing for days! And we have jobs and a big garden to tend to and a very large mansion!  :D

@MDSimss The Dust had taken over my home so much, all the cleaning (Nannies, Butlers, Maids, and a Gardener) yet I had my baby taken from my level 10 parenting skills two parents. My nanny actually stopped being helpful and more of just in the way. I love new ways to play, added realism... but it definitely needs to be controlled... Maybe a slot for a lot trait OR a scale in some way? (Naturally Pristine/Kept Clean/Easy Clean/Mounting Mess/Dangerously Dusty/Maliciously Messy)

@Kennedygames My solution was to uninstall until the devs come up with a fix, which seems likely from comments I've been seeing. They are listening to us. . I really think they will tone this down, if they don't I'll ever reinstall that kit. It was so cheap, i won't even ask for a refund, it's a minor annoyance, compared to all the hours of uninstalling/reinstalling the whole game twice! (Maybe some compo for that would be nice!)

Don't want to spend my time cleaning, so I switched it off from the menu, but they still appear. Feel like I wasted my money on this kit and it wasn't anything special, just annoying.

[Gednaa]

@Funfair1 Yeah, who wants to vacuum to perfection?? and who really wants these bunnies running around the house? Apparently nobody! Waste of money and a lot of my time, un and reinstalling the game without it! So much easier now I just had triplets! Couldn't have played them if they were worried so much about dust every second!

I would like to add to everything that has already been said that the Sims keep stopping all work to vacuum. For example, when I tell my Sims to write a book, they sometimes stop up to ten times to vacuum. Even when cooking, the cooking process will be interrupted to vacuum and the food then remains unfinished on the stove. This is really frustrating and makes the game nearly unplayable.

[aidans1985]

@BlueAngel_c That Too. The recent problem with Sims starving due to starting to cook a meal when hungry and then not finishing 90% of the time I've noticed is due to the drive to vacuum constantly. Since the only way TO remove dust is to vacuum at this time (which is rediculus really, it should be added to Scrubberloo spell capabilities from ROM, as well as a broom to use to sweep in the event you either can't afford a vaccum or live OffTheGrid. And I know there are battery packs for the vaccums for off the grid use but have read they don't work. Or if they do where do you go to charge them when off the grid? Another lot and come back?) I have noticed when you remove the vaccums from Sims inventory or never add it those sims make and eat food better than those with the vaccums. There is still a problem, but at least the drive to clean isn't interupting everything.

@aidans1985 Before I uninstalled the kit, I removed all the vacs from their inventories and they were annoyed at the dust levels. Just couldn't take my sims anywhere to socialise. So the Kit went - up the virtual vac!
