[[File:Cockroach icon TS4.png|45px|left]]'''Cockroaches''' are pests that appear in ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]''. They are spawned if a lot is dirty, and they will randomly move about the lot, further decreasing Room{{Vgversion|TS:LL}} or Environment{{Vgversion|TS2}} score.
==
In ''Livin' Large'', having roaches on a lot can cause considerable distraction, as Sims and visitors may autonomously "Freak Out", neglecting their motives in order to go stomp on roaches on the other side of the lot. However, roaches can easily be killed by instructing a Sim to spray them. If the Sim instructed to spray them is in a good mood, they will automatically spray every group of roaches on the lot, until there are no more roaches left or their motives drop too low. The [[maid]] will also spray them, as will [[Servo]] and [[Bonehilda]]. If ''[[The Sims: Unleashed|Unleashed]]'' is installed, [[cat]]s may hunt them, but will only do so autonomously. However, they will still gain the [[Skill (pet)|hunting]] skill. Once killed, roaches disappear and leave no trace of their existence. Roaches in ''The Sims'' can pass through walls, and so may be able to get to places that Sims can't.

In ''The Sims 2'', roaches will spawn around a pile of garbage that has been left sitting too long, even if the lot is generally clean. A common source of roaches is a residential lot's garbage can having been kicked or knocked over while the resident Sims are asleep or away.

Cockroaches appear as an insect which can be collected and donated to the science facility and are no longer considered pests. Cockroaches are now a collectible item that can be sold and donated.

Cockroaches return in ''City Living'', and are only found in [[apartment]]s with the special "Needs TLC" [[lot trait]]. They will randomly appear on certain locations in the apartment and Sims will react to them and when they do, they gain a [[tense]] [[moodlet]]. Sims can try to obliterate or exterminate the cockroaches by themselves, but it can possibly make the pest even worse. They can also call the [[landlord]] to fix it, which is always a success.
