I love it too, is one of my favourite careers although I would wish that you could command the nurse in a vanilla game. (Clean, repair or check patient in)
In a vanilla game a nurse can and will clean and repair, just sometime there are lazy. If you have *bust the dust* you can ask the nurse to help cleaning, which works wonderful.
The only bug which I have there is this bug: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-GTW-Doctor-can-t-calibrate-X-Ray-Machine-Route/td-p/10577963 // I think they need help from Garrus (Mass Effect)! He should have enough experience to help (Garrus calibrations meme)
Never had an issue with a baby, specially if you use NS and allow other sims get pregnant.

I love both careers, the scientist branch is probably my favourite. These are the things that make me wish I'd stuck with playing on PC instead of switching to Console lol.
My scientists career is also very buggy, my plants don't function correctly either there and making gadgets is also bugged. The daily tasks aren't always possible because of bugs. So I extend the work day there again, make my Sim a Professional Slacker with a reward trait and just achieve the goals on the days they are achievable. I still find promotion possible and fill in the time with the Observatory and Microscope or nip off to Sixam.
I've renovated the lab and added a robotics station too. I added Servos and drones plus different gadgets/bots. So I like what they've added to it. I also added a Strangerville room in the basement with the Strangerville items in containers in a walk in safe. There's a couple of alien rooms there too but I keep the dead ones separate (let's not traumatize the live ones lol) and some of the rare granite falls bugs and rarest frogs.
- simsplayer8183 years agoHero@daikoyu You mentioned being able to live in a business, there's a couple of mine on this thread where my Sims live some of the time incase it's of any interest to you. I haven't uploaded any to the gallery yet but there's photos anyway:

I personally don’t have such an interest in dual purpose building. I don’t trust the AI to work with these things. I think a smooth gameplay is always better as *somehow-it-work*. I normally remove such things each time if I use a gallery build (restaurant builds come often with this setup Restaurant + Apartment)

SpoilerI don’t use oftens gallery builds, because most the builds are not my liking (overuse moveobjects, T.O.O.L, costume painting which are not marked as CC but clearly are CC). I would not be surprised that many get performance problem from this builds, specially console user. I rather take it at is inspiration to build something which is more suitable for my gameplay.Your build seems great but nothing which I would use in my game. My builds are always with the mindset... how dump is the AI and which items could cause problems/obsessions? This helps a lot for a smooth gameplay (+ a good gaming pc)
- simsplayer8183 years agoHero@daikoyu Yes you're right about smooth gameplay. It runs more smoothly actually when I've switched to a different Sim and returned to the retail lot to shop, rather than playing it as a shop. It's so bugged it's impossible. In fact I wish I'd just got a gaming PC instead of next gen console!
- PipMenace3 years agoHero@daikoyu Interesting, I might have to try again. I haven’t played as a doctor since before Neighborhood Stories since it never seemed to work and was just really frustrating to get repeatedly told I was doing a bad job because no pregnant Sims ever showed. I’d tried several times after first buying the pack, but how many and what kind of patients showed always seemed to be random and disconnected from the daily tasks, leaving them frequently impossible.
The scientist career works much better, though it’s true since Cottage Living the gardening part doesn’t really work well. If I need to I just uproot the existing plants and plant & water fresh.
