Covid Expansion Pack

Who agrees with me that Covid should be represented in the game, it would add so much realism and fun, face masks could be added, as well as Covid tests for your Sims to check if they have the virus,...

@LucaslovesSims4 , I'm sorry but I would hate this.😣 I play the Sims to escape having to constantly think about things like Covid. For many it was the worst year of their lives.😭 Even if it wasn't my personal worst, the thought that the misery wasn't just with me but was with pretty much the entire world was even more depressing than if it had been just with me! 😓 This would not be fun. As for realism, I'd rather have more things for Children, Teens, and Elders to do, or dogs being able to get up on the beds, or adding things like baby strollers or horses to the game.🥰

That sounds utterly horrible. Absolutely not, and I don't think it would ever be implemented. Though, if you want infection, you could buy the extension pack to the Expansion pack Cats and Dogs; there is a rat disease to attract and spread, quite fun.

it wouldn't be that bad of an idea it would kinda be nice to have your sims go threw what were going threw

  @t7tjcgajdz6u , I'm sure you meant well, but if you read the first page of replies to this topic, you would see how this is a bad idea. One player lost family members to Covid, so putting that in a game trivializes this tragedy!😭 Others have lost jobs and mental health over this. 😫 Also, it would be in poor taste for a company to make a profit off of trivializing the tragedy of real life people! 😭
  
  The Sims usually has goofy, made-up illnesses. These are better suited to the game . 😅 I think the only illnesses you can get are with the Get to Work EP (because you can be a doctor in one of the careers) that come with dizziness and rashes, and in the My First Pets Stuff SP if you let a dirty angry rodent bite you , you can get Rabid Rodent Fever.
  
  Here is a guide to the Get to Work illnesses: The Sims 4 Get to Work: How to cure your Sick Sim (simscommunity.info) This is not the doctor's career guide, but a guide to if your regular Sim comes down with an illness from this pack.
  Here is a guide to the Rabid Rodent Fever found in My First Pet Stuff : The Sims 4 My First Pet Stuff: All About The Rabid Rodent Fever (simscommunity.info)
  
  Perhaps one of these illnesses can be a substitute in game for Covid if you still want to simulate it... just imagine that it has that name, instead.
