Fabulously Filthy Aspiration Guide

Because some Sims don’t dream of clean.


What Is It?

The Fabulously Filthy aspiration came with the Bust the Dust Kit, turning the usual obsession with cleanliness upside down. Your Sim thrives in filth, procrastinates chores, and builds friendships with dust bunnies while actively avoiding cleaning tasks. Think: chaos gremlin with a love for clutter.

Reward Trait: Filth Dweller

Sims with this trait find joy in mess, feel energised in dirty environments, and can even get positive moodlets in filth. They’re also better at interacting with dust bunnies and avoiding tension from grime.
Perfect for chaos players, rags-to-riches starts, and Sims with low moral hygiene
