Sims 4 City Living
Sometimes the mouse trap doesn't work and I was wondering if there could be a 'stomp' option which would definitely work first time round! Also, are there any plans to get the mouse to cause trouble ...

@brco_84 have you tried the "Eradicate" option on the mouse hole? I'm not sure if I've tried it, I dread to think what happens lol. I did try the landlord recently but he did nothing although they were running around him. There are mods for it apparently if you're on PC and I think the "destroy object" cheat might work too if you've used that before. I'm on console so can't use either option unfortunately. I can use the move objects cheat though so with that I placed something over the hole. I don't know if that worked permanently because I switched households shortly afterwards.
@LadyAofPineapple the mouse trap is an option by clicking on the mouse hole in the wall...poor little things 😭.
Living in the countryside we get field mice sometimes but having cats in real life has helped keep them away before (one managed to trap one under a plant pot once until I saved it). But Sims cats do nothing in my experience although I think they probably should! There's an open bug report for that issue.
Yes, the eradicate option is just someone placing a mouse trap in the hole, which doesn't always work. The landlord does exactly the same thing when called so that seems rather pointless. Perhaps looking into the cheats option might be the answer?
- @brco_84 Is that it? Goodness it sounded like it would be much more brutal that that!
Perhaps a cat with the "Hunter" trait would make a difference and chase them. The cat that was ignoring the mice in one of my apartments didn't have that trait. I know the pets definitely see the mice because I have external mouse holes on my castle so mice run around the castle walls and the unicorn gets a little mouse thought bubble when he sees them.
But if not a hunting cat then cheats could be your answer.Sorry I got the menu option wrong; it's obliviate not eradicate!
- @brco_84 That's me from not being in my game at the time lol and looking up the name for it but seeing the wrong name for it in the search results, it's Obliterate and I just tried it and my Sim went to the mouse hole and did something and the mouse has gone. I don't know how long it will stay gone though.
