I have had a clinic that did extremely well financially and I only got it up to four stars then for some reason people started complaining about the service although I changed nothing except add more vets to clean. I am going to try and do and experiment where I build a teeny tiny vet centre with just the neccessary things, no fridges for treats or surgery machines and only have my sim treat patients one at a time by using the disallow feature having a vacuum clean up the place and so forth and see what happens then. I wonder if it will be possible to get 5 stars or even 4 this way. Wish me luck :)

Ok so my small vet centre is build, money is transferred. I was lucky enough to keep my perks from the previous vet so I added the good quality equipment as well. My sim is heading home now to get a good night's rest and then will open her clinic tomorrow morning 8am :)https://i.imgur.com/g4DpUF4.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/p5gGVVe.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/GYS2Hhz.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/MIOLcxq.pngAs you can see its just the basics. My sim will be the only vet. I will only serve one patient at a time by using the disallow function on the podium so that there is no waiting, although I do have the patient perk.I love that I got the perk points and rewards from my previous vet centre :) Ok let me get my sim to bed now.

I forgot to put up the quality of the equipment so it was on standard, I just put it up now. I closed up shop early because of the star ratings above the patients and owners heads but it did not make a difference, I think I might have to do this test with a new save and new sim with 0 Vets skills and perks to make it more realistic.https://i.imgur.com/uDB5lXp.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/vQb7oqI.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/3OtCyjU.pngSo we will just disregard the above tests I think.

Ok lets try this again, she is 0 level vet skills and no perks. Lets see how it goes this time roundhttps://i.imgur.com/iaSfcs1.png

Ok first time open and saw 3 patients. At the end of the day had enough perk points to unlock better equipment and to get the patient patients perk. So they will be used the next time the clinic opens. Here is the reactions of my 3 patients and owners.https://i.imgur.com/HCGLo41.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/GN0t5PW.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/FjFBpfW.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/F3CTNkN.pngThe growth opportunity was the place needs to be cleaner and better equipment.So my sim is saying Lets see what happens next, but now I wanna go home and eat ;)https://i.imgur.com/bKo1gVV.png

Second time open, made changes.Using the better equipments and patient patients perk that I unlocked previously.Added a more expensive and comfier couch in the waiting room.From reading others experience I am now doing this as well, here is the original quote ;)"LiELF;c-16175650" wrote:I'm still working towards all of the perks to try for the five star rating, but I did get a couple of patients to flip to a five a couple of times. I've noticed that clicking on the animal as soon as I'm done examining and choosing 'call a good pet' will have my vet compliment the animal right after billing their human, and makes the sim's star rating bump up one higher. Don't know if that helps anyone, but I thought I'd throw that out there just in case. :) I also use the Greet patient warmly on the pets before I examine them.So here were the results :)https://i.imgur.com/pyIBPEh.pngSaid my price is to high, so I will lower it from 100 to 75 and see if that helpsSaid my place is dirty or better furnishings, not sure what to do there as there was not even one puddle, will work on that oneLove the service, so will keep on with calming pets during exam and just before I administer the cure.Here were the reactions, I find that 3 patients a day is good enough to give my sim a break as well.https://i.imgur.com/DqQM84m.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/Nfrg1R1.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/wXQnMs8.pngAny tips or advice would be very much appreciated, especially about the dirty or not well furnished clinic ;)

@mcrudd I don't suppose you'd consider making a version that only has content from the base game and C&D? I only have those and Get Together, so as much as I love the clinic, I'd have issues with all the other EP content.

I added about 10 tiny knights but I didn't check to see how much it cost after that. That's crazy, and my sims are poor. :(

I've noticed another pattern but have you also considered in putting in a wall speaker? Also if you have inscent in there and have it on the happy scent it tends to also make customers happy at least this is what I've noticed with some of the small restaurants I built as well as small retail shops.

I had no luck with wall speakers in my restaurants, everyone kept dancing LOL. Oooh the happy scent sounds interesting, might give that a go :) I also have the plumbob lights, never thought of them till you mentioned the scent :) Thanks for the tips, happy simming

Of course I will do that, do you mind if I finish the 5 stars under 20 days challenge first, I am home alone now so will quickly do that. I will try and make it base and Cats and dogs only :)

Yeah those knights are not cheap, time to go digging for treasures and picking plants to get your sims back on their feet :) You can do it, happy simming

@danceswithchaos I am going to do your clinic now. I will try my best to match the colours using only base and cats and dogs :)

@Andiratyme once I am done with the above clinic then I will remove all the tiny little knights from my current clinic using all the packs and load it in the gallery so its more affordable :)

Yeah! I'm excited. I need to learn to play with how to resize objects. I've never been much of a builder but wow, has the game gotten better with how you can customize. I'd rather play that build though, so it's lovely that people such as yourself do the building (and tiny knight hiding) for me!

@danceswithchaos I uploaded two versions for you. One only base game and cats and dogs expansion with tiny knights and one without tiny knights for those who don't cheat with money that would also like the base game version.

With tiny knights
