Off-grid-living: illnesses
My sims are living off-the-grid, and the husband and wife have come down with two separate illnesses. I'm not sure how to handle this and I'm afraid it's going to spread even further, onto the kids. Any suggestions?
Many of their sicknesses can be cured with sleep. Other possible illness cures:
- Go to the library and order medicine on the computer. Stock up and take it home in your inventory.
- If you have Seasons have your sim go to a lot that is not off the grid and order medicine on their phone. On the phone go to Household > Purchase Gifts and look for the Medicine. Stock up and take it home in your inventory. [Tip from @MapleSimmer]
- If you have Outdoor Retreat you can become an herbalist. You could use the computer at the library to purchase Herbalist books (one, two & three). You can also get and grow herbalist plants.
- Shortcut: I have a lot of plants in the EA community gallery that I grew in my game, and most are above normal, some are 'perfect' - under #SheriGR. You can download & use them to make a garden, and I think all of the herbalist plants are there as well.
With seasons you can add a beehive to your garden. If you tend the bees well your honey quality will gradually improve. The better the honey quality the more helpful it will be, and it is helpful for illness. There is honey in my gallery, but it is only normal quality.Edit: I've found out that honey only helps for giving a 4 hour temperature immunity (and a happy moodlet). It will not cure a sickness.- Pets: You take pets to the vet clinic if they're sick, but sometimes a wellness treat will cure them. You can go to the vet clinic and purchase several wellness treats at the vending machine and keep them in your inventory to try first if the pet becomes ill.
There is some info here, but much would not help off the grid (like using the tea machine): https://simscommunity.info/2015/04/04/the-sims-4-get-to-work-how-to-cure-your-sick-sim/
