Re: Sims getting sick too often
@blockhart93, I don't think Sims get sick in conection to dirty counters or the piles from repairing objects. Your Sims were probably going to get sick anyway and it is just a cooincidence.😉 I've never heard of illnesses being triggered this way, only through contact with other Sims who are sick. So if one Sim is sick, keep him or her away from your other Sims.
I have noticed that once a Sim gets sick , they often have to take multiple doses of medicine to be cured, sometimes up to 3. I'm guessing that this is to mimic real life where you don't usually take just one dose.
Other than medicne you can drink orange juice, take a nap on a bed, drink tea (some say it is green tea, but others say any tea works) , and if you have the Get to Work EP you can create Snake Oil elixier at the science lab (but don't drink a tainted version!) I also think honey will help with illnesses so if you have the Seasons EP you can try that as well!
It is possible that the rates of getting sick have increased... but I haven't seen this in my game. Does this happen in just one Save Game , or have you tried to see if the same thing happens in another save?🤔
