    @t7tjcgajdz6u , I'm sure you meant well, but if you read the first page of replies to this topic, you would see how this is a bad idea.  One player lost family members to Covid, so putting that in a game trivializes this tragedy!😭  Others have lost jobs and mental health over this. 😫  Also, it would be in poor taste for a company to make a profit off of trivializing the tragedy of real life people! 😭

    The Sims usually has goofy, made-up illnesses. These are better suited to the game .  😅 I think the only illnesses you can get are with the Get to Work EP (because you can be a doctor in one of the careers) that come with dizziness and rashes,  and in the My First Pets Stuff SP if you let a dirty angry rodent bite you , you can get Rabid Rodent Fever. 

    Here is a guide to the Get to Work illnesses: The Sims 4 Get to Work: How to cure your Sick Sim (simscommunity.info) This is not the doctor's career guide, but a guide to if your regular Sim comes down with an illness from this pack.

    Here is a guide to the Rabid Rodent Fever found in My First Pet Stuff : The Sims 4 My First Pet Stuff: All About The Rabid Rodent Fever (simscommunity.info)

    Perhaps one of these illnesses can be a substitute in game for Covid if you still want to simulate it... just imagine that it has that name, instead.
