Same here, I’m on 96 mins and I’ve only had to clean every couple of days. (This was with a new game save though, so I’ll have to try with an older one.) ---

Yes, and by now this is happening with all my houses unfortunately. Really hope they will fix it. ---

I’m not sure if this issue is related to this bug, but I cannot remember that the dirt in the house was cigarette stubs. This looks more like “outdoor dirt”. Might just be a visual oversight from the dev team though. ![image_2026-09-11_020053379](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/8/8/88a08293ca2c746f1d858afd31194d6fd4593e1a.jpeg) And this dirt outside my house even floats: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/9/3/93e425673093fc93f6bb5a772ee571db8a40d3e9.jpeg) ![Screenshot (1188)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/9/d/9d6752e45ddb1db7893d830f8acdc6b43f2b251f.jpeg) ---

Must be the toddler. The picture evidence shows him next to it, that chain smoker xD Was it always like this? ---

Not entirely sure. Sometimes when a lot of dirt accumulates there were like really dirty ugly looking spots outside but not sure if I ever spotted cigarette stubs… Checked at my current homes but they are not yet that dirty - will have an eye on it. ---

I am playing an old save (well, not that old but from before the update), and my zoi’s cleaning skill is still at level 1, barely started increasing it as her house only seems to get dirty every few days. So working as intended on that save it seems. Not tried any of the other, older saves, nor tried with a new save post-update as I don’t have one, so no idea what could cause this for some and not for others. I haven’t touched the city settings either - they are at default levels. ![Dirt](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/3/2/32c2629180e5bf2ba7861d85d6327f8c50a67df0.jpeg)This is the grime I think we are used to seeing, but I have had the cigarette butts appear outside the apartment too (not inside). Pretty sure I have seen some overlays that looked like a small explosion before the update too though. ---

This is the Day-1 bug and it still happened again XD. Before my latest save, I play on patch 0.6-0.7 after that I’m drop (City sanitation and cleanliness already fix at that time). Don’t know what cause all of this again. ---

The hallway in the apartment is getting dirty for me as well like shown in the picture. I couldn’t find a way to clean it either, so now the area around the elevator is a mess and the apartment is sparkling since my Zoi is cleaning 2x a day 🥲 ---

Since I don’t know how to get rid of the dusty rooftop problem I’m gonna report this as a bug, this house was just newly build and it’s already looking like this. Looks like sandstorm occurred.. but I don’t think that’s the case.. worth investigating this bug since it’s been in the game for a very long time. :)) ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-09-12 om 16.04.55](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/b/b/bbb70abd56b07cc888c877dda0049e8c1f021127.jpeg) ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-09-12 om 16.05.09](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/0/b/0b5b3e798579042267a2bc23aa8811aca33b69dd.jpeg) > More information about my device I play inZOI on: > > - Game Version: V.0.10.3 > - Platform: Steam Mac > - Mods: Never used > - Hardware Specifications & Operating System: MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7 (24G90), Apple M2, 16 GB ---

@Deniice it looks to me like this is tied to this bug [The house is gutting dirty too quickly](https://forum.playinzoi.com/t/topic/16459) Is it also both for you: the roof looks like this and you have to clean the house much more frequently compared to how it was before the update? ---

@Minthyuyu now I captured such a dirt as well. I would say it looks very similar to yours. So this seems to happen also inside. ![Screenshot 2026-09-12 235103](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/b/3/b3eac014b49d1799a71d9c64ead568e5bb36b479.jpeg) ---

Here’s what I noticed: while you’re playing, everything stays clean, but as soon as you restart the game, everything gets dusty again. For example, I vacuumed the house, saved, and quit the game. After some time I start the game again — and I see dust everywhere, and I have to vacuum again. And yes, I’d like to sort out the roof issue. I’m tired of constantly replacing it with new ones. ---
