@xochiquetzl_xkvn I actually got into the habit of moving on to another patient if I can't determine an illness, and it's something that seems to have helped a little. I can not only ignore the patient whose illness I can't determine without risking a loss in performance, but if I still need to do daily tasks then I'm most likely going to need to move on to another patient anyway. The tip of watching the patients while using the analyzer seems like a really good idea, and I'm probably just too stupid to have thought of that which admittedly I am very stupid. Thank you for the tips, I appreciate it.
@daikoyu Aw man that stinks. I was hoping it would offer a little more variety. I guess I'll try it anyway, unless it involves a lot of social interactions then I'm not about to try it until that mean bug is fixed. I also agree with what you said about consoles and PC. I play on console now because my PC is acting up, but when I can play on PC I use a really old outdated version of the game without all the current issues. Even then I still have a lot of mods in place that fix issues, but I'd rather not have those mods at all. It's great that modders can fix some of the stuff that EA doesn't, but I completely agree that the modders should be doing other things and not having to fix the game.
Oh, one other question I thought of while playing earlier. If I don't do the daily tasks, how much of an impact will that have on my career performance? I've noticed that curing patients can really seem to bump up performance, so I had this idea that maybe I could focus on trying to cure patients and just ignore the tasks. It's probably a stupid idea, which is why I wanted to ask and make sure I wasn't hurting my performance.
@simsplayer818 Cool thank you for that. I can't remember if my sim has that trait or not, but now that you mention it it sounds like it may be worth experimenting with it myself. I had one work day where I was just starting on a new job level, I had just earned a promotion the previous day, but because I managed to get lucky and cure multiple patients I earned another promotion with just one day of work. Seeing that just made me wonder if I could rely on curing patients for career performance and skip the tasks, then again if I can't cure any patients that plan would fail miserably.
The evil chief does catch my attention, even if you say they don't really do anything. The first thing it made me think of is a character on an old comedy show that I absolutely love. The character claims to be evil, along with his sidekick, but they're both just a couple of goofs. Not sure I like the sound of having to clean up after it though, that sounds a little crappy, though if it at least sometimes does it itself that might not be too bad. You do make it sound at least a little interesting, minus the bugs of course, so I'll probably give it a try once I get a better feel for the doctor career.
Thank you again for the tips and the info, I appreciate it.
