how to cure sick sim without game pack

few days ago i downloaded some custom mods and i gave one of my sims the sickly trait but didn't really know what it did.. i then realised that the only way to get rid of their sickness is to have some game pack? i don't have that game pack surprise surprise. i only have cats & dogs. really need help with how to get rid of the kids sickness cause it's getting all my sims sick and i can't get rid of it. even if i get rid of the mods it'll stay there cause it's in their moodlets. please help cause i do not wanna get rid of my huge generation cause some are sick. the only solution seems to be buying the game back needed..

    Have you tried turning testingcheats on and shift clicking on the sim and clicking Reset(or debug I forgot which one shows up). It usually works for me.

  • I agree. Delete the mods from the folder on your game/machine:  Go to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods
    Plus delete the cache: https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/delete-cache-files/

    You could restore to a previous game this way if the game play was messed up while dealing with the mod - but remove the mod first: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/how-to-restore-a-previous-saved-game-in-the-sims-4/

    For future reference, once you have it cleared up and have a clean game version, start backing up occasionally. If you have a backup you can roll back to a date/version without the issue and not completely lose your game. Go to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. Right click on the file "The Sims 4", copy it. This file is your backup of your game saves, etc. You should save a copy of this folder occasionally in case your game or computer crashes. Save it to an external drive. That way you could add this folder into a fresh install and recover your lost game should you need to.
