Why can't our Sick Sims go to the hospital?

I wish there was more to illnesses in this game, so disappointed at the current system. Buy a bottle on the computer, tadaa!

I want to see a doctor and maybe risk my sims life in severe cases.

yeah, it's super lame right now. even if you do nothing the illness always goes away after a bit. I usually just get my sims happy enough to ignore it till the time runs out (since you can see how long it will be in the moodlet, lol). It would be amazing if illness was a really a THING in the story.

I could imagine a kind of tiered system--different illnesses with different severities, and different consistent cures--so some mild illnesses might make sense to just wait out. Others would linger if they weren't treated properly--with rest, or tea, or stuff like that. Maybe there could be home remedies that would be needed for tier 3, and you'd need to gather the right planst to make the right cure (it'd be cool if herbology could be incorporated there, but that would require different packs to interact with each other, so yeah...). And then tier 4 would NEED to go the hospital, otherwise it wouldn't go away. And the last tier would need to go the hospital, and neglecting to do so for too long would result in DEATH. These last ones would be super rare--maybe only once in, like, 5 or more sim lifetimes--but you'd know they were out there. I'd be into that.

Presuming of course that they scale back on how often sims get sick--right now in a 4+ household, someone is ALWAYS sick it seems, so I wouldn't want greater severity with that frequency. I'd really prefer something with a little more depth and less prevalence. It wouldn't happen as often, but when it did it would MATTER. Right now it's just another annoyance, and doesn't really add much. I'd almost rather there were no illness at all than the weak-sauce, repetitive, version we have now. In that sense, I agree with someone here who said the intent was just to serve the doctor career--they really didn't care about the impact on the world outside of that.

yes... i wish hospital and police station is visit able place, especially when our sims is sick.... 1 medicine cure all illness is seems too easy for me.... disappointed :(

Yeah thats similar to how it was on the Sims 2. You would get sick and if not treated properly your sim could die. But it was hard to control their motives back then tho.

yup that's plummmm probably because the sjw would sent death threats to the gurus if a such thing might happen. BTW isn't a mod that allow us to visit GTW venues I don't remember where I saw this lately but I swear this exists fortunately.

Great question. Maybe just a normal doctors office??

Ordered the cure all panacea via computer, but then my sim was dazed for awhile because the sim took the whole bottle ...what?!
How can I get sims to take only the proper amount?

I did the same and it cured them (although they also were dazed and it was right before finals so talk about some realistic problems). Then hours later, they're sick again! I came here to see if I was missing something because I can get my dog to the vet, but can't take proper care of my sims? Seems like the answer is the devs didn't commit to making the sims as great or realistic as they could. It also seems like they don't give a flying flute as long as we keep buying the expansions. I love and loathe this game for the dumb dumb DUMB inconveniences!!!
