Flies: Difference between revisions

|caption=The dirty plates on this table have attracted flies.}}

In ''[[The Sims]]'', theyflies appear over plates of spoiled food, and eventually appear over piles of trash, dead mice{{vgversion|TS:U}}, and pet droppings{{vgversion|TS:U}}. In addition, "free -range" flies often appear if the house or lot is messy—even unmade beds can cause them to appear. These flies are not harmful, but when they are in a room, they reduce itstheir [[Environment|Room]] score.

If ''[[Unleashed]]'' is installed, [[dog]]s will sometimes jump and snap at "free -range" filesflies, but cannot get rid of them. "Free free-range" flies can be picked up and sold in Buy or Build mode if the [[Moveobjects|move_objects on]] [[The Sims/cheats|cheat]] is enabled. Oddly, they're labeled as the "[[Game console#The Sims|SSRI Virtual Reality Set]]" and worth 460 [[simoleon]]s.

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', flies will appear over plates of spoiled food, and will eventually appear over piles of trash, very dirty toilets, Sims who have been at 0 hygiene for 1–3 days, and dirty pet bedding{{vgversion|TS2:P|Pets}}. Babies and toddlers that have a sloppy personality will also have flies appear alongside green stink clouds by their butt whenever they have a dirty diaper.<ref>http://thesims2.livejournal.com/5250845.html</ref> It does not seem as though "free -range" flies exist in ''The Sims 2''. However, having too many fly-bearing objects on a lot can result in "death by flies".

Being '''eaten alive by flies''' is a form of [[death]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. The event can be triggered if there are many (10-15) dirty, fly -infested objects emitting green whiff clouds in a room. If a [[Sim]] walks through this pest breeding ground, there is a chance that the flies will swarm them and eat them alive until nothing of the Sim's body remains. This event is more likely to happen to Sims with low hygiene. How flies acquired the ability - orability—or the incentive - toincentive—to do this is not explained. The eaten Sim's [[ghost]] will be purple.

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', flies hover over food or dishes that hashave not been put away or washed in a few Sim days. However, flies do not kill Sims in this game, but can cause Dirty/Filthy/Vile Surroundings [[List of Moodlets (The Sims 3)|moodlet]] and can be a major annoyance to the player.
