Don't forget to flush!

Just realized from another thread, it might also be stray pets peeing on the lot somewhere.

Most probably a bloody dirty sink that can't be cleaned (doesn't matter if you have maid), awesome feature... Only solution is to sell it and buy new one.

Have read cats can be taught to catch flies...

Sinks have a dirty-meter despite not being able to clean them. You need a mod to fix it.

Here's a mod that fixes it ("Roaming Flies Fix" folder). Sinks eventually get "dirty" even though they can't be cleaned. There's also certain beds, showers, and tubs that cause flies even though they aren't supposed to.

There's a similar fix for roaches here as well since Roaches and Flies are triggered by the same items.

Oh, thank you! I saw one of your links in other topic but thought it got deleted, did not try to copy/paste it.

Why hasn't EA patched this? and Why hasn't EA also fixed the UI, and make it so the game stretches to fit the whole screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM6vQ68PV-Q&t=3293s&ab_channel=Cendrillon Here's a video from around 3 Years ago and the Sims 1 fills the whole screen, No black bars, no green background when creating a Sim. it's all blue, like it should be! Fix the Game EA!!

It's an old bug, all the fixes I have in that folder were present in the Complete Collection too and never patched by Maxis. Even some of the update notes from EA for this new release say flies are "working as intended" or something because they aren't changing 25 year old item code, but I don't think that's true the flies were just always bugged like this.

It's not "Working as intended" when I have millions of roaches in my houses even tho it's clean. the only way they stop coming is if i get a maid

You sims 4 kids are sooooo spoiled

[daleylife]

As others have said--- files appearing when the house is clean is a bug. Roaches can appear in a clean house too and garden animals destroying your garden can occur like crazy-- all bugs that never got fixed. Mods exist to rid you of the files and roaches though.

Wouldn't it had been nice for Maxis to fix some of these bugs for this release?
