Bust the Drugs
When all else fails, cleaning house is the perfect antidote to most of life’s ills. -Sue Grafton
Requirement

The requirement for this optional package is the Bust the Dust kit.

I liked the idea of having to vacuum clean your house, as it adds an additional bit of micro managing, but there is a few things to this pack that made it uninteresting to the point of it not being playable for me personally. Therefore I added a new Optional package more aligned with Basemental Drugs

Dust Accumulation

First and foremost, the accumulation of dust from this kit is ridiculous. It takes hours before your house has dust all over and is filled with silly bunnies (more on them later). If you want to slow down the speed of dust accumulation, head over to the Basemental Settings by clicking any Sim > Drugs > Settings then click “Bust The Dust”.

From this sub menu you can adjust how quickly dust gets accumulated.

  • Normal Accumulation = How Maxis intended
  • Slow Accumulation = Approximately 1 day before it gets dusty
  • Slowest Accumulation = Approximately 2 days before it gets dusty
Sparkles

With the kit, a clean house is filled with sparkles. Like.. sparkly animations that pop up all over the place all the time. I felt this was silly so I removed those.

Dust Bunnies

Speaking of silly… Having these bunnies all over is (at least to me) incredibly immersion breaking, so what I did with these little buggers is to only have a chance of them spawning if a Sim nearby is tripping on  a heavy dose of either Ayahuasca, Shrooms or LSD. Furthermore, they can only be interacted with by the Sim that is tripping, as to emulate other Sims not being able to see them at all. Personally I feel like this is the only way they make sense to me.

I have also removed some of the interactions from them, like the overpowered “find me a valuable item please” and “befriend” option, as the former was as mentioned, overpowered, and the latter doesn’t make sense as this option will keep them around after cleaning up the house, but with this optional package they will get removed once a Sim comes down from a trip.

Life Without Bunnies

Assuming your Sim isn’t tripping 24/7, this pack is actually pretty darn sweet without those bunnies and the dust accumulation tuned to slow. Houses looks dusty eventually and you can enjoy dirty environments with dust particles in the air for your grittier lots without being distracted by silly rabbits.
