The Sims 4 Bust the Dust is in Bad Shape. Broken and BUSTED

Bust the Dust is in a horrible state even after the patch. Let's investigate what is wrong and suggest things Maxis might do to improve this awful Sims 4 kit.

[@Vashiane]

This is like the pinnacle example of one of TS4’s core problems. So many of the expansions are isolated experiences that don’t really integrate well into other expansions or even the base game. It feels almost alienating how distant everything you purchase is from each other, except for worlds (kind of). Literally stunned at how bad this is.

[@2000foxygirl]

Agreed 1000%

[@Momo-po5tn]

Whats the best ep?

[@Vashiane]

@@Momo-po5tn Honestly, I’d say Get Together or Seasons The traits GT adds are really helpful, Windenburg is probably one of the best worlds there is, clubs have a lot of benefits, while Seasons boosts a great skill (Gardening), adds depth and climate to any world you have unlock, and I’m actually super fond of the holidays and love creating my own.

[@micahcook2408]

And also EAxis’s issue of rushing their products, especially the Sims. Like these unfixed, broken, or unintegrated problems have been happening since TS2 and enough is honestly enough now

[@maidenminnesota1]

I did appreciate how each pack can be stand-alone, and how you did NOT have to install them in a particular order (like you did previous iterations of The Sims), but you're right. They don't gel together at all.

You’re right. There’s an actual sugar daddy mod for the game and it doesn’t pay this well in terms of in-game money. But it is a balanced and integrated game experience since modders are apparently able to do what EA can’t. I’m starting to suspect their programmers are just trained chimpanzees since those don’t need salary.

I turned mine off after a couple days. If I didn’t clean several times a day, then you couldn’t keep up. If you have a really big house, cleaning by family members AND a maid/butler would barely keep up. And the money part is stupid, I was doing a rags to riches game and it made it pointless.

[@allmachtigenallergroter5298]

[@muticere]

What’s insane to me is this was supposed to be the pack that convinced us that “kits” were okay and worth spending money on, and they released it in a completely broken state with no fix yet weeks after release.

[@CarlsSimGuides]

Shooting yourself in the foot, for sure. Yet easy to fix. Depressing.

[@robecoyote9136]

Depressing that the 'amateur' modders fix these things within hours of a pack's release, yet the 'professional' developers do nothing for months, and if they do try to 'fix' them, they do a half arsed job.

[@d.lastbreath2272]

The bunnies are cute in theory, but let's be honest , they're incredibly annoying 🙄

[@jliz3821]

I think it would be fine if they were more hidden, like if you have a house at max filth for four days, they have a 10% chance of spawning every night, but as of now they’re really annoying

[@yazoofantasy]

Yeah, I thought the same until they showed up in my game. And after I turned them off I still had this weird glitch when one suddenly showed up in one of my saved games. It happened only once but talk about taking annoying to whole another level.

[@cluelessponyta2817]

I think the dust bunnies are really cute, but they don't fit everyone's play styles so they should've been optional/togglable.

[@randybobandy4000]

I see what they were going for but like everything else in the Sims 4 it's not complete and polished.

[@BonaparteBardithion]

That might be what they were going for. The archeology loot is all shelf deco. It just really needs a hard monetary limit or else be limited to base game objects. As for the simoleons, they definitely should've set it to no more than 5 or 10. You know, like finding change on the ground.

Not to mention that if you don't bother cleaning your house, the dust bunnies soon turn into filth fiends which combust for some reason, meaning that if you get tired of constantly vacuuming each floor (and you probably will) again and again, you'll soon have random fires starting all over your house...

[@Zakori]

People still comment this bullshit 😂

[@CarlsSimGuides]

Hey, thanks for popping in. Early comments don't bother me. They help me eh?

[@PSICadetZen]

My sim won’t leave the vacuum in the house, she carries it around with her everywhere 🙄

[@mialemon6186]

I feel like I'm listening to the mid stages of a breakup where you're still trying to question things and you can't justify any of this nonsense anymore. Also, dust bunny sugar daddies.... Well, I guess it's better than locking Geoffrey Landgraab in your basement??

[@TheMosquitoHunter]

Wow like, Carl is getting more and more pissed with each single video, I can feel it in his voice lol :D

[@brentoutashape9141]

It’s kind of why I keep watching. :)

[@olivia5617]

I think EA also broke carl with this kit :/

[@CarlsSimGuides]

I just feel this kit was very bad for consumers. It's not worth buying but could be if they would put a little effort into it.

[@stxrstruck6755]

Am I the only one who thinks laundry day and bust the dust should just be a stuff/game pack together? Just make a cleaning pack where you can do ALL OF THIS.

[@katrinavince1741]

@carl I have to say that your videos are getting better and better. I love to binge watch your channel but the creativity and editing of your videos is just amazing. I can definitely see the work you put into them !

[@melaniewantsabeer243]

Turned it off in 15 min. Feel dumb for buying to be honest. Bust the dust is a bust. Waste of 5 bucks!

[@oncefortwice1389]

Okay so I have a sim family of 2 (brother and sister since their mother passed) and the brother does wonderfully with the vacuum! He doesn’t use it all the time and he rarely has to use it a lot. The sister, on the other hand, made me sell her vacuum because she vacuumed everywhere and EVERYTHING. She legit started vacuuming the spa while she was there 😭 I just get her responsibility up by doing hw and dishes 😂

[@onemorekayaker1934]

Thanks for confirming all of this, Carl. I strongly suspected that the pack was still mostly broken, but it's good to know for sure. Looks like I'm going to be skipping this one, likely forever.

[@CarlsSimGuides]

Too bad we can't immediately think, "They will listen to feedback an fix it" vs it will be abandoned like all other major tuning problems.

[@Annadog40]

I had to use cheats and self tracking to complete the dust aspirations since how dusty your house is is tied to how tense your sim is rather than how dusty your house is. My sim can't get tense so that is bananas

[@RosieSquall]

Is anyone honestly surprised that Sims 4 isn’t working as it should? Oh, but continue to support the team and EA’s predatory practices, by all means 🙄

[@gigisneckofthewoods]

Yikes! This brings back memories of the early days of the Sims 4. I don't remember the bug, vaguely remember it being Grim Reaper related, but it took 5 or 6 patches to fix it. Every patch that came out, they said "we fixed it" and it wasn't fixed. After all the "fixes" we've gotten over the years, I have no faith this will be fixed. After they try a couple times, they'll give up and move on like they did with countless other packs. Spaghetti code claims another feature.

[@sammiesworld379]

I’ve never thought of that. I kinda turned it off and forgot about it. You make a good point. If peeing themselves makes them filthy, it should now also make the floor filthy. Integration between packs is sub par at best. We should also have strays in the city, be able to jet ski around the bluffs and swim in any body of water. Etc 😊

[@mscopycat5137]

I regret buying that pack. I should have continued with my no buy model.

[@Ananasbleu]

I almost did that mistake :( sorry that you were a victim of that trash they sold you

[@ember9361]

try getting a refund

[@burnabee]

Okay so it's not just me. Thought I was going crazy.

[@MBEG89]

I had a feeling this would happen.

[@ele6982]

The fact that they’re always inspired makes me so mad

[@tankedwarthog6424]

I uninstalled bust the dust because it is just plain broken I mean I also uninstalled batuu but that was just because it was batuu

[@ZorziZone]

It's seriously heartbreaking when you look at this for what is really is. Like... it's not just like some new objects are "annoying" or have "bad swatches", this is literally game breaking stuff that is being allowed to be put out simply because the current TS4 team is THAT incompetent and carele$$. It's beyond my comprehension.

[@dibel3669]

On other news... Scientists discover that a minute is 60 seconds.

[@Morgan-gx2rv]

Now that I discovered your channel I subconsciously read all your articles in your voice! I was just doing that and it made me laugh - thanks for helping me out so much!

[@rika33079]

It's not only that. It's never give me empty vacuum when it's full. You can't use full vacuum, but when you try to empty it's just glitch and do nothing. So you end up just buying new vacuum every time 😫🤦
