Pest Control (Update 2/7/25) - Reactions to Pests
Sims with dirty homes now run the risk of roaches spawning around their lot, similar to The Sims 2.
This is a script mod that can be placed in your Packages folder. It was built and tested on 1.69 but should work fine on 1.67.

Roaches
Once a day the number of dirty objects on your sim's home lot will be counted, and if the Dirty Threshold is met or exceeded, roaches have a chance of spawning.
There are three thresholds: Dirty, Filthy, and Vile. The dirtier the lot is, the more likely roaches are to spawn and in greater numbers.
- Dirty Threshold = 5 dirty objects, 10% spawn chance (2 to 4 roach spawners)
- Filthy Threshold = 10 dirty objects, 20% spawn chance (4 to 6 roach spawners)
- Vile Threshold = 15 dirty objects, 30% spawn chance (6 to 8 roach spawners)
All sims in the active household will get the new Vermin custom moodlet if they walk into a room where roaches have spawned. The moodlet subtracts -15, -20, or -25 points from your sim's mood depending on the threshold the lot meets and will not go away until the roaches are stomped out.
Slob sims will be less affected (-5, -10, -15) by the Vermin moodlet, while Neat, Snob, and Perfectionist sims will be more affected (-25, -30, -35). Coward sims will be the most affected by roaches (-30, -35, -40).

New Moodlets
Vermin: Given when roaches spawn on a sim’s home lot, lasts indefinitely, -15. -20, or -25 mood (inspired by TS2 memory)

Conflicts & Known Issues
Depending on the terrain paint, roaches may be harder to see. To find any roach spawners you may have missed:
- Enter build/buy mode.
- Enable buydebug cheat.
- Look for any white boxes on your lot. Those are the roach spawners.
- Enter live mode.
- Stomp on the roaches.
- Success!
This is a new script mod so there shouldn’t be any conflicts.
