No way to bust the dust from Off the Greed lot?

So we can't use a vacuum cleaner on the Off the Greed lot. OK. But what about the good old mop? Why can't my sim just wash the floor to get rid of dust?
And the other sad news is that there is zero integration between Realm of Magic GP and Bust the Dust Kit. My spellcaster sim can't clean up with magic, Scruberoo doesn't work on the dusty floor. He wasn't able to remove dust bunnies and evil dust bunnies with the Scruberoo or Inferniate spell. He inferniated the floor under a dust bunny, everything was in the fire. After he extinguished the flame, the floor was burnt, but the dust bunny was fine.

Too bad scruberoo doesn't work.
I think one of the GCs found the dust in debug. I think it was James Turner in his first video about it. It's the only reason I am thinking of getting it because I think I want to disable everything else. It would be cool to add dust to my run down haunted house.
I've tried it, but the floor continued to get dirtier, despite the dust piles removal
dang, seems like it just works differently at randomly for people. I was TRYING to keep it dirty and it just kept going clean lol.
(there def needed to be a broom option didnt there?)
Me too, picking up the dust piles does not seem to make the rooms 'clean'.
A broom option would definitely have been a nice alternative. I would probably have ended up using the broom more than the vacuum cleaner if they included it. Hopefully they will patch it in or someone will create a mod by the time I get the pack.
ETA: I let the house get moderately dusty, still no luck with vacs, and also no manual option to clean floors either, like the mop. It seems that that should be an option since we don't have brooms. To be able to just select "clean floor" and have them whip out their pocket mop and clean by sections, like after a fire, it would take longer yes, but it would also be pretty authentic for OTG play.
If it's the same one I installed, it's the regular mop and mopping animations, not a broom - but it works fine, and honestly seems like it would have been a good idea to link in the first place - those things are already in the game and it would solve the off the grid problem instantly. (Although a broom with a sweep animation would be nice.)
Maybe it's the same. It's a new mod, his latest i think... yeah a broom would be cooler for historical saves, which was what i was looking for, but a mop will do it anyway... It's better than the vacuum, doesn't rely on power...
They actually have brooms now I think of it (from RoM).

You can stomp on the bunnies and throw away the dust piles that collect and that seems to be enough to keep the houses dust free without using the vacuum cleaner. Also, when you mop water puddles, it gets rid of dust piles too.

That doesn't work it still gets dirtier and you have to vacuum
It works for me. Could be a bug though.
Does it? I was unsure if it was updated yet or not. Somewhere there was a broom override where they replaced the map with a broom using the same animations that worked with the mod. Of course then your sims used a broom to mop water as well....but if you wanted to use that it would be like you were sweeping
