Flies: Difference between revisions

|caption=The dirty plates on this table have attracted flies.}}'''Flies''' have been part of [[The Sims series|''The Sims'' series]] since the beginning. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle]]'', they can potentially swarm Sims and kill them.

In ''[[The Sims]]'', flies 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".

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.
