There should be a number of rodent fever ghosts in the gallery (I'd be surprised if there weren't), but with only basegame you won't be able to use them.
If you're interested in twists of infections in Sims games, look up the Strangerville expansion!

Quest-based gameplay of that kind is rare in Sims 4, in this form it occurs only in the Strangerville and Journey to Batuu packs.
I absolutely love the Strangerville infection! The whole pack definitely was a breath of fresh air -at least when it comes to gameplay- when it was released. I haven't played with the Rodent Fever that much, but I had my fair share of gameplay hours when Strangerville arrived and I also loved the CAS and Build/Buy Mode objects. The quest-based gameplay kind of reminded me of The Sims: Medieval, which is an installment I adore.
