Is there a roach infestation on this game?

[Azurean88]

My house was filthy but never got roaches, is it a glitch in the game? or are they not in the SIMS 4?

I think it is in City Living.

Which is why I did not purchase City Living.

That's my favorite apartment to play in! I don't know why, I love the extra challenge of the roaches and stuff breaking.

But yeah, roaches don't just spawn because stuff is dirty, they only spawn in the apartments that have the roach/rat holes in the walls.

I recommend giving it a try. There's a lot of really great stuff City Living came with. Just don't get an apartment that has the roach/rat holes and they'll never bother you.

1313 21 chic street apartment: The smallest and odd shaped one with the outline of the dead body under a coffee table, a rank vent in the bathroom that produces a horrible smell to your sim, and the rest of the apartment is roach central. in addition the apartment has various apartment pipe works in the kitchen area.

With some cheats i can debug to remove those from the lot, all of them and then rebuild the lot to my liking, it's a good starter once you got it sorted out with mods that have access to those apartment items so they can be deleted.

Some other apartments, especially the the one Salim Benali lives in in the Medina apartment block is small at 9x9 and has pipeworks and other problems, in effect it's a dump. then there are the culpepper apartments..

Hold up someone please tell me they're not in the neighborhood homes too, right? Please tell me they're only in apartments with the TLC trait.

Okay, good. I hated roaches since Sims 2. They were a nightmare and it was hard to get rid of them.

I have the Eco Lifestyle pack & heard that cockroaches appear there? Has anyone seen them there?

Of the two apartment blocks and 4 apartments? no i haven't.

But it's something of a surprise because you can vote on local naps as well as general neighbourhood naps. the local naps stand out from the other naps (Green Initiatives or Modern Development in one of the three neighbourhoods in Evergreen Harbour). This removes the trash from the streets but increases bills. If you leave it by default, there is trash everywhere and it should be a breeding place for roaches and rats quite easily.

Yet in both apartment blocks there are no such things.

I disliked the roaches too -- so which specific apartments were they in, in City Living for Sims 4, then please?

I'm not sure how to tell which have "roach holes" before moving in.

There are even roaches in Animal Crossing (on the rocks.)

When you look at the apartments, any of the ones with the lot trait "Needs TLC" will have them. They will also have water pipes and an electrical box with will frequently break. You can call the landlord to fix it, but it's a pretty great way to get your handiness up quickly.

Also, if you leave garbage on the ground outside for a full game after the garbage piles up it will take root and become a garbage plant believe it or not. it will still smell bad and produce garbage fruit as well.

so there is extra incentive to clean up the trash.

The SIms games always seem to add surreal things.

About the spoiler tag part: eek!

Overall this pack seems a bit too "real..." Lol
