Bust the Dust Rebuffed🧹🐰
I never liked the way that stupid gameplay kit worked so I made some changes and fixed a few things:
The sparkling when a floor is clean has been removed.
"Sparkling Clean Surroundings" is now a "Happy" buff while "Someone Lives Here" buff is now "Fine".
Dirty and Filthy floors buffs will actually make Sims Hygiene decrease.
Dust Bunnies and dirt piles will not spawn when the floor is Dusty and only one filth fiend will spawn per floor when a floor is Filthy.
The cooldown to ask Dust Bunnies and Filth fiends to search for valuables has been increased.
The sniffing animation on Dusty floors will only be allowed if Sims have traits like Slob and Filth Dwellers.
The mess animation on Dirty and Filthy floors will not be performed by Slob and Filth Dweller Sims, Lazy and Professional Slacker Sims.
Added a cooldown for reacting to messy surroundings when routing.
When the house is on fire or a burglar is on the lot, they will not stop to sniff the air/react to messy surrounding.
Sims will gain Responsibility Character value only for the Sim that actually vacuums instead of gaining it by simply having the "Sparkling Clean Surroundings" buff (so if a parent vacuums the floor, their kids will not have Responsibility increase).
Fixed the simultaneous "Sparkling Clean Surroundings" and "Someone Lives Here" buffs Sims get on loading the lot.
Added a separate package that reduces the Happiness decay for Dust Bunnies.
✅CHANGELOG 29/03/2026:
Added new package.🆕

Any chance you would consider a standalone mod that makes friendship decay for dust bunnies much slower. It's the one aspect of this kit that my current mod does not fix that annoys the heck out of me. If feels like you need to feed them dust 24/7 or they hate you.
I read through this and like everything, particularly the damn sparkles going away. but this one line confused me a little "Dust Bunnies and dirt piles will not spawn when the floor is Dusty and only one filth fiend will spawn when a floor is Filthy". Does this mean that dust bunnies won't spawn at all? Or that they only spawn when filthy in addition to a single filth friend? This pack is new to me so I'm not even sure the difference between the two. Maybe that's why it's confusing me. I just don't want dust bunnies removed entirely since I haven't played with them much at all yet.
I was confused too
Would it be possible to have modular tweaks and fixes? I personally like quite a few of these changes, but some don't suit my plays style. Even a nod to which tuning files would need to be deleted for each change.
wow, thank you! I'm going to put it up for myself and finally try this kit out 😂
