Needs TLC Lot trait?

Hello!
I'm currently building a run-down diner. I really wanted to use the "Needs TLC" lot trait so it would spawn mice and roaches on the lot, but I couldn't find it. I read that it was locked to certain lots. Do any of you awesome builders know how to unlock it? Or perhaps how to emulate a similar effect with other traits or cheats?
I'm not looking to mod my game in anyway, since that usually leads to my computer crashing horribly, but if there's a work around in-game I'm all ears! :smiley:

    Hello
    You are unable to use that lot trait on any other lot, except for the ones that Maxis have placed it on. It can't be removed from those lots or added to others.
    There is an unlocked lot traits mod though.

    There is a "mouse hole" in decorations that when placed will spawn mice. Your Sims will react to them when they see them and they can lay traps.

    I wish this trait was available outside of those lots without a mod. I wanted to build a fixer upper home.

    For anyone interested, this mod exists. Not sure how updated it is right now. I will try to see if the unlocked debug items transfers through library without the mod installed, so as to render the mod redundant in the final save the lot is placed; as that would be ideal. I'll update in a while.

    I found it through this trail, and the info is good to read, but these two mods are not updated:

    Sorry in advance if linking isn't allowed.

    EDIT: I did a quick test in a new folder of the TLC mod (mentioned first). Made a room on Potters Splay, Willow Creek, placed down all the objects from debug and waited. After a couple of sim days I saw a mouse, that gave the sim the corresponding moodlet. Did not wait for all the other objects to give effect.

    Saved the room to library and placed it on Bargain Bend - all the debug objects were gone.
    Copied the tray files into yet another new folder, the debug objects were gone.
