Illness cures not working
My Sim is sick and I purchased medicine off the computer but nothing happened after she drank it. No cure, no effect. I bought a second medicine and same thing. I tried drinking green tea and orange ...

@AyaFire, I don't know if this is the same as what is happening in your game, but I've noticed that sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times taking the medicine for a Sim to be fully cured. 🤨 I think it is kind of like having to take multiple doses of medicine in real life. When this happens in my game, my Sim will not have the uncomfortable mood anymore for several hours, but then a while later they will feel the affects of the illness again. I have never seen an illness require more than 3 doses.🙂
However, there is a chance that there is something else going on in your game, so I have a few questions:
1) Have you notice this happening in any other households , both in the same save or in a different save game?🤔
2) Do you play with any Mods or CC? 🤔
@PugLove888 Actually what I usually do is have the sim Nap, that works a lot of the time and its free. Doesn't always work though. If it doesn't work, I try a second time. If the second time doesn't work, I buy the medicine. That's always worked for me.
@Psychotps, yes I have them nap sometimes, but only if they are on the tired side and they have time for a nap. Most of the time they don't' have time for a nap, so I will have them either drink orange juice or green tea, or take medicine. The medicine is the fastest! :eahigh_file:
I find that any of these 4 methods don't always work the first or even the second time, to it doesn't really matter which one you choose, at least in terms of curing the illness. @AyaFire stated that all 4 methods were tried, including "rest" which would be naps! 😉
- @PugLove888 Never tried the others. Don't usually use tea. If I have the tea maker, sims tend to use it all day long. Same with the coffee maker, so I tend to not have them.
@Psychotps, Like you I don't have too many tea makers in my game for the same reason -- they use it all the time , leave the mugs all over the house, and then have to pee all day long! 😞 So, I didn't even know about the green tea curing illness in the game until I was watching a YouTuber's videos on the 100 Baby Challenge. She had them use the green tea all the time. (The YouTuber was British, so I can see why she preferred the tea over the orange juice. 😉 ) At least with orange juice they usually only get it when you direct them to drink it, and it doesn't cost anything, so that is what I usually have my poorer Sims do to fight illness. But for most others, I just buy the medicine since they always seem to get ill when I don't have time to give them a nap. 😉
