Bust the Dust is still busted. My sim wants to stop whatever they are doing to vacuum outside. It is getting ridiculous. To write a book so much longer because they kept stopping to vacuum outside. I kept thinking they had a problem with the computer or writer's block but they were fine. Help!!!

Can confirm this also happens on Xbox.
I'm not sure what is triggering it. For me it is the Sim who has the vacuum in her inventory. I notice it more when shes supposed to be cooking or on the computer. She'll cancel all interaction (even interactions that are qued up, all will cancel) then processed to vacuum.

This really sucks- especially since it makes me want to get rid of the vacuums altogether. Everyone saying, "just take it out of your inventory," does have a point, but if thats the entire point of the pack then I wasted 5$ lol

Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed dust pack
My sims are obsessed with vacuuming! No matter what I tell them to do they stop shortly after starting and whip out the vacuum. It doesn't matter if the room is already clean, they start vacuuming.

My sim does not use the vacuum cleaner autonomously, I suppose it is because I have the autonomy deactivated, but the maid practically only runs the vacuum cleaner over and over again, always on the ground floor of the house, goes in a loop and vacuums over and over again Once, the floor is already clean but she continues, until 4:00 p.m. which is the maximum time until she stays, there are other things to do, the upper floor is dirty, but she ignores it completely, so my sim always has to vacuum the upper floor, it's frustrating because I also pay him $ 160 for all the hours she is there, but she leaves and leaves part of the house dirty

My Sims are obsessed with vacuuming. No matter what they are doing they will stop midway through to vacuum. Showering, cooking, breast feeding, SLEEPING, etc. Bust the Dust Kit has made the sims 4 totally unplayable. I attempted to even turn off the gameplay (which I do not want to do) but my Sim still attempts to vacuum at multiple periods thought out the day. Please note that the floors are sparkling clean at all times and the sim is always positively impacted by the cleanliness.

@stjmk I second this recommendation. The gameplay is a fun idea but i have yet to use it and enjoy it. I am close to uninstalling it.
