The Sims 4: How to clean the dust off the grid

sims-4-clean-dust-off-the-grid

If your Sims live on an off-the-grid lot, you can’t use a vacuum cleaner to bust the dust because there’s no electricity. You’ll need to find other ways to get the job done or use solar panels to generate power.

How do you clean the dust off the grid in Sims 4?

If you have the Eco-Lifestyle expansion pack, you can buy solar panels and wind turbines to generate power.

You can then use a vacuum cleaner during the time the power is working even with the Off-the-Grid lot trait on.

You can also upgrade your vacuum cleaner to work off the grid. The self-charging power cell upgrade allows you to use vacuum cleaners without plugging them into a wall outlet.

Your Sim can also pick up the dust piles with their bare hands. Tell your Sims to go round the entire house and pick up dust piles to clean the place up.

However, picking up the dust piles won’t always make the rooms clean.

Additionally, there are a few special spots on the floor where you can throw away the trash.

However, there will still be dust stains on the floor. Your Sim will eventually start feeling uncomfortable after a while.

Alternatively, you can install the Dust Mopping mod from ModTheSims. If you don’t want to use the vacuum cleaner or robot vacuum, you can use a mop to get the job done.

Waiting for that broom

Having a broom option would be a much better and easy-to-use alternative than having three vacuum cleaner models. Many players would gladly use a broom, or a dustpan and brush instead of a vacuum cleaner.

Hopefully, EA or a talented mod creator will soon add brooms to the game.

Conclusion

To get rid of dust in The Sims 4 while living on an off-the-grid lot, install a solar panel and wind turbine to generate power. You can then use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Alternatively, your Sims can pick up the dust piles with their bare hands.

You can also install the Dust Mopping mod and use a mop to clean the floor.
