Fair point. I guess it's just the general stereotype of roaches that says that they're dirty. We actually have cute tiny bush cockroaches that come in on the mail.

I'll consider the hygiene drop for the cat a result of the blood and guts from the kill then. XD

Man I'm always so late to the scene when it comes to CC, lol. Still had to say thanks for this though. I miss a lot of things TS1 had that they skipped in TS2. You made one less difference. Plus, it is realistic. My kitties are my roach bodyguards.

And yeah they're renown for being the most disgusting, foul smelling little gits around. The fact that even my kitties won't eat them is a testament to that!

Recently been having so much trouble with roaches (odd they haven't been a huge problem for nearly 10 years of game play) and found myself wishing for the hunting cats of Sims 1. You are an absolute life saver!

Okay this is definitely getting installed. I can't stand roaches in real life (though I respect the ones that are kept as pets) and the ones that infest houses make me freak out in a very bad way. The game ones aren't as bad but still, the less I have to spend looking at them swarming around, the better.

This may sound a little dumb, but does this also affect kittens? Or just adult/elder cats? Anyway, thanks for this great mod!

Just Adults/Elders. Kittens can't play with the catnip mouse, which is what I took the animations from.

Love this mod! Must try!
This way at least there is a meaning of kicking the garbage bin.
You are talented to implement such a funny mod.
Thank you.

My cats (and dog) hunt roaches in real life -I think it's great for the game. Not to mention saving my sims the money of the exterminator; spraying them they always come back :/

@Charity
HCDU Plus reports a conflict with joninmobile's Buyable Roaches (https://modthesims.info/d/316987/buyable-roaches.html)
zzzMods\Charity\catshuntroaches.package --> zzzMods\joninmobile\BuyableRoachesSicknessV1.package
OBJD: 0x41A7 - {multiple} (0xFFFFFFFF)
Is this something I need to be concerned about? Can I still use both together?

Honestly, I don't know. The object data seems to be stuff to do with the GUID. I didn't change the GUID, because I wanted the new functions to overwrite the game's roaches. If it has the same data then possibly the other hack overwrites the game's roaches too, but I don't know if they would both be read or not, seeing as it isn't a BHAV. You'd probably have to test them in game.

@Charity, should I be able to direct my cats to hunt the roaches with control pets turned on? They're not doing anything about them autonomously and I'm just trying to work out if that's due to the conflict. When I turn on control pets, there are no actions available on the roaches.

Yes. You should be able to get them to hunt with control pets. Finicky cats won't eat the roaches, but they will hunt them.

@Charity,
Reporting back to let you know that the conflict is in fact quite serious in that the two mods are mutually exclusive. With Buyable Roaches loading last, the roaches remain buyable from the catalog but cats can't hunt them and with your mod loading last the roaches disappear entirely from the catalog.

Thanks. I'll mark it as a conflict.
