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 ...

@Psychotps, thanks for testing all of that! 😇 Very interesting! 🤓:eahigh_file:❤️
I never tried other teas with illness.. only the green tea since that I what I was told worked, which it does, it is just that the other ones work as well! I'm not a fan of green tea in real life tastewise, so I will probably use the other teas for my Sims more often. 😃
Very interesting about napping on the sofa not being as good as using a bed. I find that true for me in real life, but I didn't expect that with my Sims! 🤨
I'm very happy the cures stack! Many of our moodlets do, but I didn't want to assume anything!
About the medicine, that makes sense because in reality taking a nap or drinking OJ is actually good for you even if you aren't sick! . Medicine is never something you want to take unless you have to!
So, my summary of your information is that:
Medicine is best if you don't have any time to spare, but you do have some money to spend
Napping is best if you have time to spare, but you really should nap in a bed for maximum benefits
Orange Juice is almost as good as napping on a sofa, and while not as fast to drink as medicine, it is still quicker than napping
Tea will do in a pinch, but OJ is free and takes just as long to drink , and lasts twice as long, and doesn't spam you Sims with interactions the way a tea maker does!
I'm also very curious as to if there will be any spells or potions with Realm of Magic that deal with illnesses.🤓 They don't always incorporate other pack features in a new pack, but they sometimes do (as with Island Living tying into Seasons with a new storm type!) 😉
@PugLove888 I haven't tested them in a while, but there's also the "Snake Oil" serum from Get to Work's scientist career. I think that works similar to the medicine and it's kinda free. It only takes a daisy to create, but you have to have gone through the scientist track first.
What I tend to do is once I have a "tested" serum, I keep one of each at home and just clone it with the clone machine whenever I need one.

@Psychotps, thanks for bringing up the Snake Oil!🤨 I totally forgot about that, since I'm I haven't played a scientist whose gotten sick or had their household get sick in a while! 🤭😃 If you find out the strength of Snake Oil versus the other 4 methods to combat illness, and also any buffs the snake oil might give, please tell us! 😇
@PugLove888I make it along with a bunch of the other serums, but I don't think I've ever used it in practice. I tend to use the Synthetic Food serum more than any of the others. One drink action and your hunger bar is full, it's wonderful. Ghost Goo is dangerous. Grim doesn't like it and it's killed my sims before.
Snake Oil is exactly the same as the medicine, just a 4-hour "medicated" energized buff.@PugLove888 Since you seem to have a problem with my wording in all my posts lately, I'll try to be clear:
If your sim is sick, you can use the following cures:
Drink any tea: 30 minutes "Combatting Cold" buff
Drink Orange Juice: 1 hour "Combatting Cold" buff
Nap on BED: 3 hour "Combatting Cold" buff
Nap on SOFA: Provides NO illness cure whatsoever
Drink Medicine: Provides NO "Combatting Cold" buff. Removes illness and provides 4 hour Energized "Medicated" buff.
Drink Snake Oil Serum (from Get to work's Scientist career): Exactly the same as "Drink Medicine".
Effects stack.
I can't possibly be any clearer.
