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 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.
