Is their excuse for no burgers literally "it's too dark"? Wow. In Sims 3, you could also get your stuff taken by the repo man if you didn't pay bills. I always delete them but still.
I'm still baffled as to why people keep making excuses for the sims 4 being at this state is not acceptable at this point, it's crazy, I forgot the last pack i bought with my actual money it doesn't make the game any better and it's still shallow and buggy on top of it it's like they don't even playtest their own packs can't blame them cuz the game keeps getting more unplayable
The worst is when they say "i hope sims 5 is better". Like, you plan to give them MORE money? After this?? It's just going to be the same thing, maybe worse!
My favorite vacuum is named Earl II! He does a great job moving around the room, picking up normal, non-sentient dust, and doesn't charge me five dollars per use! If If I ever have to pay five dollars for a vacuum, it'd better be the best vacuum in all of creation.

anyone else not care about sims 4 but heavily invested in cindy’s opinion on sims 4 or is it just me 🤔 💙 another great video cindy you’re my favourite vacuum cleaner
I never saw anything about Sims 4 that made me want to get it. When it first came out I watched a couple you-tubers play it. Some fun animations, still didn't want to play it. I've listened to all the negative stuff about the game and also things people consider positives. Still glad I never paid money for it. Yeah, I tend to watch these videos and I'm not really sure why. I respect Cindy's views on the game and it's failings but that's not the only reason I keep clicking on hers and on others. It's sort of like watching a train wreck. You don't want to watch but you can't look away.
literally me. i stopped playing sims 4 a while back and don't think i'll buy another sims 4 pack since they all seem shallow and cash grabby. but damn i love to hear cindy roast ts4.
I haven’t cared about the sims 4 since it released 😂I own the base game , and have since the week it came out and since then I knew it would disappoint me when my sim cheated on her husband multiple times I made him catch her , gave away all her wedlock babies , and she and him were STILL 100% in love 😂
I blame my sister for getting sims 4 , she bought the base game, only played a little bit and I got hooked and purchased all these expansions 😂 I've soon realized how lifeless sims 4 is and I pretty much threw my money away.
They really just need to look at the sims 2 and take note of the details in that, like the animations. It really is the little things that add up and make a decent sims game.
Like lounging on the couch, watching tv. Laying in bed an reading a book or watching tv! Also, lazy and slob sims would never make their beds in sims 2!
You know if it was Sims 2 they’d have brand new animations where they pick up the vacuum and go around the room and then put it back. And emptying the bag wouldn’t be a reused animation, the Sims would have trouble opening or closing it or something and make a face 😂
I know people have already mentioned the lack of a broom and dustpan, but I want to add to that. Where are the old school feather dusters? Where is the long extension to vacuum the ceiling fans? Why couldn't this become a full pack with a maid career? Imagine something like Get to Work where we go to Sims' houses to clean and fight dust bunnies. You can pick your uniform too! Do you want to dress like a realistic maid or a sexy maid? That would be different and add storytelling ideas. 💡
Okay but like Couldn't they have just held off and made more stuff and release it as a cleaning stuff pack? And add the other kits as free updates to pre existing packs? Oh who am I kidding, EA wants to milk the heck out of Sims 4.
I actually don't mind the vacuum teleporting in and out of your inventory because I'm so used to it that I don't even notice it. Sims 3 is my favorite sims game and it took that shortcut a lot too (and if I ever go back to the sims 2, the detailed animations are always just a pleasant surprise). For me, the standing in one place is more distracting. They just stand there vacuuming for so long and it's so weird that they don't move at all!
Sims 3 had alot to it though.. Sims 4 is closed, much smaller and yet cuts even more corners than 3 ever did. They said 4 was never suppose to have rabbit holes besides work places and now how many does it have? ALOT
Sims 4 are not getting any more of my money. For now... I just have to say, every time I see your hair, I smile. Two months ago, my husband of 20 years passed away. It’s been a very difficult time. You have been helping me through, whether you knew it or not. I thank you. ❤️
*Vacuums toddler* "Congratulations! You have won the award for parent of the year!" Like... are they for real? Play with life they say. In what world do you vacuum toddlers??? Also, remember when they said they don't add some stuff because they are not "realistic"... but living and breathing dust bunnies? Sure, that happens all the time!
I think you're wonderful and I love your opinions and videos. I don't even play The Sims 4 anymore because of many reasons, but I still love to see what you have to say. You take the words right out of my mouth so thank you!
I like the vacuums more from The Sims 2 DS game just because you can actually WALK AROUND with it to each dust pile and possibly make a couple simoleons from it, way more balanced. Even the vacuums from The Sims 2 console version, the sim has an animation to put it on, you walk around with it, and there's an animation to put it away. I love the details
I was having a birthday party for my sim, spent time vacuuming JUST before the party started. Put the vacuum "away", and within an hour of the party starting - dust...dust bunnies...and the 'embarrassed' moodlet.
I really hate it how they made the dust bunnies in a cute way: befriend them, pet them and feed them, giving them small pet vibes. Just to destroy them with a vacuum later. Very dissapointing!
I watched a video where they made friends with the dust bunny and it said you can vacuum now and it won't effect it. So, you have to get your relationship with it up so it won't disappear. Note you can not have more than 3 on the lot for it to work. Too many dust bunnies seems to make it so you will not be able to befriend enough sooo there is that. I have to remember who video I saw this in ugh.
Somebody better make some small pet and animal mods using this kit (via the dust bunnies..) because that is the only reason I am getting this at this point. Lol
i just recently watched pixelade's video showing some of the animation development of paralives and the difference between that and the sims 4's is literally night and day. the video showed things like paras being able to sit on different height chairs/floor/counters, paras interacting with paras of different heights, etc, and it's clear that SO much time and effort is being put into the animation of that game. seeing how much effort a small indie company will put into their animations, then seeing a giant company like ea halfass the animations of the MAIN CORE feature of this kit (not to mention how they halfass and reuse the same three animations over and over for everything else) is BEYOND infuriating.
what hurts me is that there are 3 vacuum cleaners, 2 hand vacuums and not a single broom or brush for the off-grid players... I love playing on the volcanic island of Sulani or doing decades challenge in the countryside of Windenburg in the 1900s, and this kit will genuinely break my immersion.
Normal people: I don't want vacuuming in my Sims game, I hate this chore in real life. Meanwhile me: wants lawnmowers and hedge trimmers in my Sims game...
lol no. I am definitely not about to give my sims MORE chores. I can barely keep my RL apartment clean and vacuumed. This would just trigger my anxiety the same way laundry day did. Why can't I just be a RL spellcaster and cast scruberoo on everything :(
21:55 Before disabling you NEED to make sure no dust is on your lot, or else it'll be there forever. Doesn't remover the stupid sparkle effect either, sucks for any console players who bought that kit if it's even available for consoles, hope it never is.
Even if it worked perfectly I still wouldn’t want it, because they make everything for sims 4 so childish. Imagine if they just did normal vacuums! No dumb dust bunnies that look like they came from a preschool cartoon, no magical money making or expensive relics being found by dust bunnies. Dust build up is ridiculously wrong. Just thinking about how nice it would have been to have normal dust accumulation slowly over about a weeks time and vacuuming to clean it up. That’s how it should be, but instead we get the dust bunnies from Big Comfy Couch and a waterfall of money for no reason. I know their target audience isn’t long time simmers anymore and they’re aiming younger but this is like they were aiming for 8 year olds.
The accumulation of money is so bad, you don’t even need to have your sims get jobs if they can just befriend the dust bunny’s to get valuables for you to sell and drop money every so often in you house funds, like what’s even the incentive to clean then when that’s the point of the pack?
No way are they getting my $4.99!!! Also, every time I look at your hair, I smile. I didn’t share this last time I commented, but my husband of 20 years just died 2 months ago. It’s been a very difficult time. You have been helping me, whether you knew it or not. I thank you. ❤️
It should work like the laundry where the dust won’t show up if you don’t have a vacuum, sometimes I want to play with the chores and sometimes I don’t so I would be really annoyed with this pack
I do really really love when the sims adds a little bit of supernatural to all the mundane stuff so I do love the idea of the dust bunnies but... this pack is completely broken. The dust bunnies should be super rare and only appear after a bunch of parameters have been met. I agree, I really wish the sims moved around the house and vacuumed instead of staying in one spot. The thing that bothers me the most though is that the floors sparkle the whole time they’re clean. I think they should only sparkle for like, one sim hour after they’ve been cleaned. Then, it takes only a sim day for the floors to look disgusting. I don’t think we should have to vacuum every day. It just feels like when they release a new pack, they don’t think much about how it will affect other packs or the game as a whole. So we have a bunch of packs fighting for the spotlight within the game with no harmonisation.
The sim standing in one place while vacuuming always disappoints me. Before I got the fourth game I played the Sims Free Play on my tablet for a long time (Not fun gameplay wise, because the sims take real life time to do their activities, but it has a lot of nice build and buy stuff). And even in this free to play game you can get a vacuum cleaner and the sim moves around the house with it. To be fair it is very glitchy because they just clip through all other objects. But from a AAA game like Sims 4 I would expect that the programmers get the time to properly implement moving sims.
Sims 4 devs: nobody wants to do chores in the game, so we didn't put vacuuming into any of the suitable packs. me, playing Sims 3: you're going to make your bed and do your laundry before you travel to China for more tomb raiding, young lady!
The reason everyone liked Laundry Day (for the most part) was because it was REALISTIC! It didn't have any cartoony nonsense in it to help it sell to kids. You accumulate dirty laundry, wash your clothes (by hand or machine), and you dry your clothes. The added bonus was the nice looking clothes, the cottage-core furniture, and the realistic aspect of your dryer burning down your home from lint neglect. No nonsense needed!
So glad you mentioned Zero! One of my favourite modders, their occult mods are a godsend. As to whether I'll get this kit, I think not. I pirate the game, meaning it would come at no monetary cost for me. However, knowing I'd need 15 mods to make a 5€ pack playable puts me off. I do like the idea of the dust system to add to the chores, however it should be active only if you purchase a vaccum, like the laundry system only starts if you have a hamper or washer/washing tub on the lot. And unlike the laundry pack, it does not add either BB or CAS that might convince me to pick it up and just ignore the gameplay system if I don't want to deal with it. If I'm feeling masochistic I might install it when I next update my game, but the general feeling is nah.They didn't even include non-electric way of dealing with the dust, apparently they never heard of brooms. Also it seems the disable option doesn't even work properly, so there's yet another thing they fucked up. Untested, rushed, moneygrabbing trash from EA. What else were we expecting.
If a Sim has a vacuum in their inventory, they stop doing EVERYTHING to vacuum. Can't cook a meal, take a shower, go to the bathroom or anything without the need to vacuum coming up.
I think all modders were just ready to fix this kit as soon as possible .. even I wanted to do that but .. didn't finish on time... I've been playing with Zero's mods and now it's a great addition to my game ... Also ... Cindy, I don't know how yo contact you but .. I made a mod for the sims 4.. It's doing quite well a lot of people enjoy it .. and I wanted to thank you for the inspiration..💜

Bust the Dust in Swedish isn't even completed. The vaccums shows up as debug objects because they aren't even named, when trying to use the vaccum the options show up blank, the buffs are blank, the aspirations as well and I strongly believe they just "forgot" to even make a translation in Swedish for the pack. It's busted and dusted.
I know this is such a weird thing so comment but I love your Laugh Cindy! It feels so inviting and like home. That's also what your channel feels like.
"Well, that's unnecessary" That could be a tagline for Sims 4.They should have just combined this and Laundry Day packs to create "Spring Cleaning" game pack.
Sims can select a favorite vacuum cleaner?! I laughed pretty hard at this because i work in cleaning industry and i do in fact, have a vacuum favorite lmao!
Just watch your simself put that near their nose! I'm alergic too. I can't imagine how they thought this would be anything but offensive. Not including the allergy is one excusable thing, but adding that animation too is on another level.
You took the words rite out of my mouth! Everything you said is what I think! lol I turned off the kit in the options menu but I'm still getting the dust mites in my house! ugh!!
i havent watched your vid yet but i saw in another vid about this kit that you can basically become rich in the blink of an eye with the dust bunnies. the kit is OBVIOUSLY super broken and not play-tested at all! looking forward to your review of it. that said, i love the cardigan you are wearing!!! :D
i don't mind the dust bunnies, what i mind is how half assed this pack feels. 5 items, $5. it's like a wendy's meal except instead of indigestion i get reused (half done and glitchy) animations and a busted pack missing anything that would make it appealing. where are the brooms? if this is dust related, why aren't there feather dusters? why would i pay $5 for some half animated and broken vacuum gameplay, gremlins again but also broken, and content i'd have at least expected in parenthood if not the base game?
Also sorry this is like, my third comment but can we talk about how of ALL the residential lot types for this dust pack to be applied to, they left out the haunted house lots?? What the actual hell lol the FIRST thing I think of when I think of a haunted house is an old dusty home. 🤦🏻♀️
It's just laziness and it also proves they do not know their game's content because it's so convoluted (we've got a haunted lot trait and a haunted lot type after all so there's that if you really want it without mods).
@@YellOw139 The spooky trait encourages more ghosts to hang around, it's a little different but I get what you're saying. It is laziness, convolution like you said, as well as yet another cash grab..

Things I’ve spent $5 on that made my life worse:
1) an all you can eat pizza buffet
2) a cup of coffee that was Too Strong
3) this busted kit pack
I'm still baffled as to why people keep making excuses for the sims 4 being at this state is not acceptable at this point, it's crazy, I forgot the last pack i bought with my actual money it doesn't make the game any better and it's still shallow and buggy on top of it it's like they don't even playtest their own packs can't blame them cuz the game keeps getting more unplayable
The worst is when they say "i hope sims 5 is better". Like, you plan to give them MORE money? After this?? It's just going to be the same thing, maybe worse!
@@toodleloos exactly, I still can't believe theirs still people defending it and supporting the bare minimum, it's crazy
My favorite vacuum is named Earl II! He does a great job moving around the room, picking up normal, non-sentient dust, and doesn't charge me five dollars per use! If If I ever have to pay five dollars for a vacuum, it'd better be the best vacuum in all of creation.
😆 😆 😆
in the Sims Freeplay, they vacuum and go around the whole house, why can't they do that in a kit you have to PAY for?
Whaaaa, are you serious? OMG, the sims 4 was supposed to be better than a mobile online game...
@@MarianadeOliveiraSaitu the sims freeplay has ALOT of better and deeper features then sims 4 😂 it really is sad.. Actual babies to and deeper family gameplay 🤦 a mobile vs is never suppose to surpass pc/console gameplay but EA thought otherwise
Yes, but Sims Freeplay is from Sims 3 era right?
@@Ikaridark09 yep and sims mobile is sims 4 era....and you can look at the update to see how bad that game is. Its literally nothing like the sims. Its all about customization and point and click.
@@anononnymouse2795 sims mobile 🤢
Honestly I’m only excited about Sims dlcs when I think about how modders will use these new assets.
Same! They've done more for game than EA ever has
anyone else not care about sims 4 but heavily invested in cindy’s opinion on sims 4 or is it just me 🤔 💙 another great video cindy you’re my favourite vacuum cleaner
I never saw anything about Sims 4 that made me want to get it. When it first came out I watched a couple you-tubers play it. Some fun animations, still didn't want to play it. I've listened to all the negative stuff about the game and also things people consider positives. Still glad I never paid money for it. Yeah, I tend to watch these videos and I'm not really sure why. I respect Cindy's views on the game and it's failings but that's not the only reason I keep clicking on hers and on others. It's sort of like watching a train wreck. You don't want to watch but you can't look away.
literally me. i stopped playing sims 4 a while back and don't think i'll buy another sims 4 pack since they all seem shallow and cash grabby. but damn i love to hear cindy roast ts4.
I haven’t cared about the sims 4 since it released 😂I own the base game , and have since the week it came out and since then I knew it would disappoint me when my sim cheated on her husband multiple times I made him catch her , gave away all her wedlock babies , and she and him were STILL 100% in love 😂
I blame my sister for getting sims 4 , she bought the base game, only played a little bit and I got hooked and purchased all these expansions 😂 I've soon realized how lifeless sims 4 is and I pretty much threw my money away.
Same. I got the base game for free, tried it for about two hours and immediately went back to TS3
They really just need to look at the sims 2 and take note of the details in that, like the animations. It really is the little things that add up and make a decent sims game.
They just not interested in I guess x)
Getting things from cupboards
I know I was spinning my children sims around in sims 2 and it just filled me with so much happiness :)
Like lounging on the couch, watching tv. Laying in bed an reading a book or watching tv! Also, lazy and slob sims would never make their beds in sims 2!
EA is too cheap to pay them for more animations unless it’s coming with a new paid pack
You know if it was Sims 2 they’d have brand new animations where they pick up the vacuum and go around the room and then put it back. And emptying the bag wouldn’t be a reused animation, the Sims would have trouble opening or closing it or something and make a face 😂
"my favorite sims 4 household"
"WHAT'S HIS NAME???"
lol i FELT that
I’m so glad you could review this pack. It’s so broken!! Hopefully no one else buys these.
It was even worse than I expected!
I know people have already mentioned the lack of a broom and dustpan, but I want to add to that. Where are the old school feather dusters? Where is the long extension to vacuum the ceiling fans? Why couldn't this become a full pack with a maid career? Imagine something like Get to Work where we go to Sims' houses to clean and fight dust bunnies. You can pick your uniform too! Do you want to dress like a realistic maid or a sexy maid? That would be different and add storytelling ideas. 💡
Okay but like
Couldn't they have just held off and made more stuff and release it as a cleaning stuff pack? And add the other kits as free updates to pre existing packs?
Oh who am I kidding, EA wants to milk the heck out of Sims 4.
I was just watching your sims 3 realistic mods video. I’m enjoying playing the sims 3 again. 4??? We don’t know her anymore
That's why expansion packs are half price for TS3!!! But not for long
yeah i went back to sims 3 too! it's rly good, as good as i remember tbh 😔
Who’s 4? 🧐 went back to 3 and haven’t been the same 😌
@@TimeQuxxn I bought a new world and I’m thinking of getting ambitions ☺️
@@tayxxmonster exactly lmbooo
Waiting on the modding community to turn those dust bunnies into real bunnies that we can keep as pets
doesn't it have an option to keep them around even if you clean up?
@@Human-hs8sp people want a ACTUAL bunny to take care of not a dust bunny
I actually don't mind the vacuum teleporting in and out of your inventory because I'm so used to it that I don't even notice it. Sims 3 is my favorite sims game and it took that shortcut a lot too (and if I ever go back to the sims 2, the detailed animations are always just a pleasant surprise). For me, the standing in one place is more distracting. They just stand there vacuuming for so long and it's so weird that they don't move at all!
Same
Sims 3 had alot to it though.. Sims 4 is closed, much smaller and yet cuts even more corners than 3 ever did. They said 4 was never suppose to have rabbit holes besides work places and now how many does it have? ALOT
I havlly agree with you, if thy move around i wouldnt mind the teleportation
Sims 4 are not getting any more of my money. For now... I just have to say, every time I see your hair, I smile. Two months ago, my husband of 20 years passed away. It’s been a very difficult time. You have been helping me through, whether you knew it or not. I thank you. ❤️
Help paralives with your money instead
*Vacuums toddler*
"Congratulations! You have won the award for parent of the year!"
Like... are they for real? Play with life they say. In what world do you vacuum toddlers??? Also, remember when they said they don't add some stuff because they are not "realistic"... but living and breathing dust bunnies? Sure, that happens all the time!
Of COURSE the only kit I want to buy is busted, lol.
stop giving EA money lol
I think you're wonderful and I love your opinions and videos. I don't even play The Sims 4 anymore because of many reasons, but I still love to see what you have to say. You take the words right out of my mouth so thank you!
Thank you so much for watching Troy! I appreciate that! 💙
It's so good to see you being yourself queen
5:13 THE empty vacuum animation is the Same as empty trash animation. 5:44
Basically the only reason the vacuum emptying animation was better than the using one.
"Embrace the filth" oh, EA didn't mean the pack's quality? 😬 awkward
GUUUUUUUUURRRLLLLLLLLL🤣🤣😂😂
My favorite thing is that the El Dorado treasures are in the item pool for dust bunnies to find, very believable 🙄
Even nonexistent debug items are spawn lol
I like the vacuums more from The Sims 2 DS game just because you can actually WALK AROUND with it to each dust pile and possibly make a couple simoleons from it, way more balanced. Even the vacuums from The Sims 2 console version, the sim has an animation to put it on, you walk around with it, and there's an animation to put it away. I love the details
I had an embarrassed moodlet when someone came into my house "its usually not like this" appeared in an note 😂😂😂 that was funny
it's an interesting idea but I deactivated the kit and the house wasn't even dirty AND THERE WASN'T EVEN SOMEONE AT MY HOUSE
I was having a birthday party for my sim, spent time vacuuming JUST before the party started. Put the vacuum "away", and within an hour of the party starting - dust...dust bunnies...and the 'embarrassed' moodlet.
"What happens if we step on him? .... take that you little bastard" 💀😂
Love the title "Bust The Dust is Busted"
Thank you for your sacrifice. It’s back to sims 3 for me.
Same here my friend
The fact that the best part of the pack is that you can disable most of the features says it all honestly
I really hate it how they made the dust bunnies in a cute way: befriend them, pet them and feed them, giving them small pet vibes. Just to destroy them with a vacuum later. Very dissapointing!
I watched a video where they made friends with the dust bunny and it said you can vacuum now and it won't effect it. So, you have to get your relationship with it up so it won't disappear. Note you can not have more than 3 on the lot for it to work. Too many dust bunnies seems to make it so you will not be able to befriend enough sooo there is that. I have to remember who video I saw this in ugh.
Somebody better make some small pet and animal mods using this kit (via the dust bunnies..) because that is the only reason I am getting this at this point. Lol
It's crazy that we can get dust bunnies, but not smaller pets like real bunnies, parrots, other birds, snakes, turtles, etc.
The dust bunnies are kinda cute, really dumb, but cute.
I agree
"You're unconsciously desire this kit." - Jacques Lacan
“Why am I doing this?” 😂
i just recently watched pixelade's video showing some of the animation development of paralives and the difference between that and the sims 4's is literally night and day. the video showed things like paras being able to sit on different height chairs/floor/counters, paras interacting with paras of different heights, etc, and it's clear that SO much time and effort is being put into the animation of that game. seeing how much effort a small indie company will put into their animations, then seeing a giant company like ea halfass the animations of the MAIN CORE feature of this kit (not to mention how they halfass and reuse the same three animations over and over for everything else) is BEYOND infuriating.
wouldn't mind this pack in real life, you know the whole random money appearing in your bank account thing ;)
Where are the dust bunnies in my house? Haven't vacuumed this place in at least a month!
what hurts me is that there are 3 vacuum cleaners, 2 hand vacuums and not a single broom or brush for the off-grid players...
I love playing on the volcanic island of Sulani or doing decades challenge in the countryside of Windenburg in the 1900s, and this kit will genuinely break my immersion.
Normal people: I don't want vacuuming in my Sims game, I hate this chore in real life.
Meanwhile me: wants lawnmowers and hedge trimmers in my Sims game...
Loool I was literally just thinking "when is Cindy going to review this horrible pack" and here we are.
lol no. I am definitely not about to give my sims MORE chores. I can barely keep my RL apartment clean and vacuumed. This would just trigger my anxiety the same way laundry day did. Why can't I just be a RL spellcaster and cast scruberoo on everything :(
21:55 Before disabling you NEED to make sure no dust is on your lot, or else it'll be there forever. Doesn't remover the stupid sparkle effect either, sucks for any console players who bought that kit if it's even available for consoles, hope it never is.
when cindy said "Well that's unnecessary." i felt it deeply in my soul,it hits deeper when it's a sims 4 video
Even if it worked perfectly I still wouldn’t want it, because they make everything for sims 4 so childish. Imagine if they just did normal vacuums! No dumb dust bunnies that look like they came from a preschool cartoon, no magical money making or expensive relics being found by dust bunnies. Dust build up is ridiculously wrong. Just thinking about how nice it would have been to have normal dust accumulation slowly over about a weeks time and vacuuming to clean it up. That’s how it should be, but instead we get the dust bunnies from Big Comfy Couch and a waterfall of money for no reason. I know their target audience isn’t long time simmers anymore and they’re aiming younger but this is like they were aiming for 8 year olds.
What’s worse is I can’t imagine even an 8 year old would want to spend time vacuuming a dust bunny 💀
Its a cute concept
Ngl
but was so porly made
Like so many things with Sims 4, unfortunately.
The accumulation of money is so bad, you don’t even need to have your sims get jobs if they can just befriend the dust bunny’s to get valuables for you to sell and drop money every so often in you house funds, like what’s even the incentive to clean then when that’s the point of the pack?
No way are they getting my $4.99!!! Also, every time I look at your hair, I smile. I didn’t share this last time I commented, but my husband of 20 years just died 2 months ago. It’s been a very difficult time. You have been helping me, whether you knew it or not. I thank you. ❤️
Sorry for your loss. love from a fellow Simmer.
I watched your last video about your PCOS. I’m so happy you’re getting more confident with yourself, you’re absolutely beautiful!
It should work like the laundry where the dust won’t show up if you don’t have a vacuum, sometimes I want to play with the chores and sometimes I don’t so I would be really annoyed with this pack
I don't even play the Sims 4 but I watch your videos to support you. I love your voice, it's like always smiley.
I do really really love when the sims adds a little bit of supernatural to all the mundane stuff so I do love the idea of the dust bunnies but... this pack is completely broken. The dust bunnies should be super rare and only appear after a bunch of parameters have been met. I agree, I really wish the sims moved around the house and vacuumed instead of staying in one spot.
The thing that bothers me the most though is that the floors sparkle the whole time they’re clean. I think they should only sparkle for like, one sim hour after they’ve been cleaned. Then, it takes only a sim day for the floors to look disgusting. I don’t think we should have to vacuum every day.
It just feels like when they release a new pack, they don’t think much about how it will affect other packs or the game as a whole. So we have a bunch of packs fighting for the spotlight within the game with no harmonisation.
The sim standing in one place while vacuuming always disappoints me. Before I got the fourth game I played the Sims Free Play on my tablet for a long time (Not fun gameplay wise, because the sims take real life time to do their activities, but it has a lot of nice build and buy stuff). And even in this free to play game you can get a vacuum cleaner and the sim moves around the house with it. To be fair it is very glitchy because they just clip through all other objects. But from a AAA game like Sims 4 I would expect that the programmers get the time to properly implement moving sims.
hearing cindy call that dust bunny a bastard really made my week
Sims Team/EA definition of "vacuum around" is vacuuming in exactly same spot, without even moving 5 cms.
Sims 4 devs: nobody wants to do chores in the game, so we didn't put vacuuming into any of the suitable packs.
me, playing Sims 3: you're going to make your bed and do your laundry before you travel to China for more tomb raiding, young lady!
The reason everyone liked Laundry Day (for the most part) was because it was REALISTIC! It didn't have any cartoony nonsense in it to help it sell to kids. You accumulate dirty laundry, wash your clothes (by hand or machine), and you dry your clothes. The added bonus was the nice looking clothes, the cottage-core furniture, and the realistic aspect of your dryer burning down your home from lint neglect.
No nonsense needed!
Omg I love this look on you! A THRIVING GLOW ✨
So glad you mentioned Zero! One of my favourite modders, their occult mods are a godsend. As to whether I'll get this kit, I think not. I pirate the game, meaning it would come at no monetary cost for me. However, knowing I'd need 15 mods to make a 5€ pack playable puts me off. I do like the idea of the dust system to add to the chores, however it should be active only if you purchase a vaccum, like the laundry system only starts if you have a hamper or washer/washing tub on the lot. And unlike the laundry pack, it does not add either BB or CAS that might convince me to pick it up and just ignore the gameplay system if I don't want to deal with it. If I'm feeling masochistic I might install it when I next update my game, but the general feeling is nah.They didn't even include non-electric way of dealing with the dust, apparently they never heard of brooms. Also it seems the disable option doesn't even work properly, so there's yet another thing they fucked up. Untested, rushed, moneygrabbing trash from EA. What else were we expecting.
Cindy, you look gorgeous
Thank you so much 🤗
Cindy you are glowing!!! So so gorgeous and a wonderful review as always 🤩
Even the ‘ask for help cleaning’ is broken, the sim I asked just sat there smiling watching my sim clean 😂
If a Sim has a vacuum in their inventory, they stop doing EVERYTHING to vacuum. Can't cook a meal, take a shower, go to the bathroom or anything without the need to vacuum coming up.
I think all modders were just ready to fix this kit as soon as possible .. even I wanted to do that but .. didn't finish on time... I've been playing with Zero's mods and now it's a great addition to my game ... Also ... Cindy, I don't know how yo contact you but .. I made a mod for the sims 4.. It's doing quite well a lot of people enjoy it .. and I wanted to thank you for the inspiration..💜
She has a Discord server, if that helps. :)
@@lunacouer yes, I've been there for a while.. and also released the first early access for my mod there. But Idk ... I wanted to tell Cindy about the mod without being too intrusive...

@@lunacouer It's called BetterSims you can find it on modthesims... I hope you like it 💜
except me, because i'm a moddler and I didn't buy the damn kit.
Just wanted to say that you look so gorgeous with your hair this short. Absolutely stunning! Was amazed to hear your story in your previous video and I am so in awe of your bravery and you being your true self and I appreciate it so so much
the speed at which surfaces/appliances in sims 2 get dirty and need to be cleaned is so much better imo
Bust the Dust in Swedish isn't even completed. The vaccums shows up as debug objects because they aren't even named, when trying to use the vaccum the options show up blank, the buffs are blank, the aspirations as well and I strongly believe they just "forgot" to even make a translation in Swedish for the pack. It's busted and dusted.
level of emotional investment in the game at this point: "did i call him patrick...? what the hell is his name? travis? travis." XD
"My name is not Patrick, PATRICK!" - Travis Star
Good thing the sims 3 is on sale for $10 each on origin
I wouldn't even download this kit if it was free lmao
same
I know this is such a weird thing so comment but I love your Laugh Cindy! It feels so inviting and like home. That's also what your channel feels like.
I vacuum carpet and sweep tile floors. Whyyyy wasn’t there a broom 😭
Funnily enough, Realm of Magic has a broom. For flying only.
"Well, that's unnecessary"
That could be a tagline for Sims 4.They should have just combined this and Laundry Day packs to create "Spring Cleaning" game pack.
Is it wrong that I find your frustration about sims 4 extremely funny and entertaining??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜💜
at times like this i guess all you can do is laugh
Sims can select a favorite vacuum cleaner?! I laughed pretty hard at this because i work in cleaning industry and i do in fact, have a vacuum favorite lmao!
This pack is aggravating my dust allergies. And aggravating me.
Just watch your simself put that near their nose! I'm alergic too.
I can't imagine how they thought this would be anything but offensive. Not including the allergy is one excusable thing, but adding that animation too is on another level.
You took the words rite out of my mouth! Everything you said is what I think! lol I turned off the kit in the options menu but I'm still getting the dust mites in my house! ugh!!
i havent watched your vid yet but i saw in another vid about this kit that you can basically become rich in the blink of an eye with the dust bunnies. the kit is OBVIOUSLY super broken and not play-tested at all! looking forward to your review of it. that said, i love the cardigan you are wearing!!! :D
i don't mind the dust bunnies, what i mind is how half assed this pack feels. 5 items, $5. it's like a wendy's meal except instead of indigestion i get reused (half done and glitchy) animations and a busted pack missing anything that would make it appealing. where are the brooms? if this is dust related, why aren't there feather dusters? why would i pay $5 for some half animated and broken vacuum gameplay, gremlins again but also broken, and content i'd have at least expected in parenthood if not the base game?
Also sorry this is like, my third comment but can we talk about how of ALL the residential lot types for this dust pack to be applied to, they left out the haunted house lots?? What the actual hell lol the FIRST thing I think of when I think of a haunted house is an old dusty home. 🤦🏻♀️
Are you kidding me? I can't make a dusty haunted house?
@@specifikitty Nopeeee not without a mod.
It's just laziness and it also proves they do not know their game's content because it's so convoluted (we've got a haunted lot trait and a haunted lot type after all so there's that if you really want it without mods).
@@YellOw139 The spooky trait encourages more ghosts to hang around, it's a little different but I get what you're saying. It is laziness, convolution like you said, as well as yet another cash grab..
ALSO, I have a maid and vacuum in the house and it gets dirty SO quickly. They never stop vacuuming.
