Dust Shite - Some Mods (Patreon)

Content
Sorry, I don't know the name of the pack, and I got it only for "work" because complaints were already rolling... so here we go:
1. Inspired and Happy buffs from having a clean house made hidden. Removed the skill bonus and relationship bonus because it's shite. Removed the bonus/penalty for the Fun motive, left only the Hygiene one, because it's shite. I left the Tense/Uncomfortable ones visible.
UPDATED: tested the buffs against being added to pets.
2. Removed Filth Fiend/Dust Bunny... I don't even want to know what marvellous gameplay they have, never saw them in game and never want to. (No Audio version of this in the zip)
Looking for the sparkle now, but it seems an overly.
3. Slower Dust - should not be required anymore
4. No Sparkle: sparkle is an overly. The only way to edit it is editing the DST and the only mod I looked into and can assure you will work is THIS ONE
5. Residential Only, should restrict the dust system to residential and rental lots. If the lot is already dirty you need to clean it up. As this uses the same XMLs used to remove the bunnies, there is a merged version with both, only pick one! (No Audio version of this in the zip)
6. Vacuum Autonomy should happen only in residential lots and should be reduced.
FIXED: not being able to use the vacuum in some rooms. Technically not a bug: the game doesn't recognize some rooms like open floors as rooms, the interaction is tested to only happen inside, so the game fails to push this tested interaction from the first one you click. Since this conflicts with other mods that modify the vacuum interaction > the problem is the "is inside building" piece of the global test of the start vacuum interaction. Remove that and the interaction will work.
7. No Money From Bunnies: what the actual fuck
UPDATED: it wasn't only money, they can also find Selvadorada treasures... rebalanced what they bring to something more normal (rocks, toys, veggies... not rare ancient artefacts)
8. No Route Events those are the ones where a sim stops to smell things, enough said
9. No Cleanliness Romance buffs: this bullshit
10. No focused from cleaning: insane focused buffs (?!) all turned into +1 happy buffs.
11. Tiny and Haunted Residentials: it's... not a bug. they didn't include them, plain and simple. This enables dust in them.
12. Filthy: updated the Filthy lot trait to also affect dust (nope, it doesn't)
This pack is a bloody mess.
No Audio Version: also removes the audio bump, conflicts with the mods with the same names, so only pick the normal or no audio version.
Maxis, you own me 5 quid
