How to Clean Mold in Sims 4 For Rent

You can encounter two different types of mold in The Sims 4 For Rent: Allergenic and Toxic. If you don’t take care of it immediately, your Sim may experience some symptoms, including a Dazed state. However, you need to be careful of the Toxic mold, as it can be deadly for teens and elders. Fortunately, Simmers can get rid of mold in the following ways:

  • Standard clean option
  • Deploy Mold B-Gone for 750 Simoleons
  • Destroy mold with fire

You can clean the mold like any other dirty pile in The Sims 4, but the Mold B-Gone technique is the quickest way. Simmers will be able to use the Motherlode cheat to get some extra Simoleons if they don’t have enough money.
