Re: [GTW] Doctor Career: Not Enough NPC Doctors Spawn
@tayelizabeth718 There are threads on this subject going all the way back to 2015 believe it or not, it's been a regular complaint on the forum and elsewhere.
I'm not sure if it will ever be addressed but they did finally fix the broken surgical animations and T posing so that may be an indicator that they are looking at hospital functionality. So here's hoping.
It is an impossible task for one Sim to deal with absolutely everything, even in an extended work day. Including cleaning the floors and fixing broken equipment. I really dislike how it makes it seem that your Sim is a failure when they haven't treated every single patient, tidied all the beds and left the place gleaming...and completed a housecall too. They have tasks set out for them plus a hospital full of patients...so which do you prioritise because you can't do all of it. It's a lose lose situation and work performance actually suffers if you don't just methodically tick off your list of tasks and ignore the queue at the reception desk.
It always bothers me more when my child Sims arrive at the desk looking peaky and clutching their little heads and my Sims drop everything to treat them and half of the other patients walk out!
I also get staff that just block the way so my Sim can't move. They just stand there motionless and you can't get past them.
Maybe they could introduce something like they have at the science lab where you can direct staff to do something. If that's already intended, then I certainly can't do that in my game but I've never made it to the top of the profession because of the bugs.
It's also totally unrealistic to have a doctor career as a promotion from a nursing career as they are 2 distinct career choices...plus it's more than a little insulting to nurses!
