To cause Death by Flies in The Sims 4, go near a dumpster and use the Bond with Flies or Clear Flies interactions. If the flies are angry and your Sim fails to bond with them or make them go away, they’ll get eaten alive.
Death by Flies is a very rare random death that can occur in any neighborhood, irrespective of their eco-footprint.
You may need to use the “Bond with Flies” and “Clear Flies” interactions multiple times to trigger this type of death. Both of these interactions can potentially cause a swarm of angry flies to attack your Sim.
Your Sim has a higher chance of getting attacked by flies if they have low hygiene. Leave dirty plates around, let your trash overflow and prevent your Sim from taking a shower.
They’ll become irresistible to flies.
The ghost of a Sim devoured by flies is always surrounded by flies.
Interestingly enough, they’ll make clearing flies from trash cans and dumpsters their number one afterlife priority. The majority of these interactions with flies and roaches are successful.
How to get a ton of flies to your dumpster
If you’re having trouble finding swarms of flies, let trash pile up in your dumpster. You need an overflowing dumpster to attract flies and trigger Death by Flies.
When a dumpster is full, the option to bond with the flies swarming around it should become available.
You can also add the Recycle and Reduce lot trait. Thanks to this lot trait, trash cans, and dumpsters located outside the lot will also get infested with flies and roaches.
Use a broken CleanBot to spread trash everywhere
Other Simmers came up with a very unique approach to get a ton of trash on their lot and attract flies.
They used a broken CleanBot to spread trash everywhere in the house.
This strategy is guaranteed to quickly attract flies.
