Just wanted to point out that there's a reason why the vaccine is thrown rather than administered in a shot. The Sims team has already delivered an animation of a Sim giving a shot, so they could have done that here. If you only played 2 hours, you might not have discovered the reason why the vaccine is thrown.
Excuses, excuses, excuses. First of all, as I explained in a separate thread it shouldn't be a vaccine. Vaccines don't work the way developers think they work. Second, there's almost no way to administer a vaccine through the dermis. You have to get to the subcutaneous tissue. The closest we've got to dermal vaccionation is through microneedles, but pores wouldn't be capable of absorbing a vaccine. To put it simply, throwing a glass of whatever at a person wouldn't do a plum thing (other than get them wet).
Whatever explanation you think they gave (I read every popup text and aspiration goals, I wasn't given any), it doesn't make sense from a scientific point of view. Unless you think science is a matter of opinion."MVWdeZT;c-16989146" wrote:
Also, the story is as cliched as the player makes it.
:D Most epic cop-out ever! Try harder next time. ;)

Hmm... For me this sounds so strange. Why would the sims medicine work the same way as it does for us, pets with glowing noses is a common occurrence at the vet for them? And why do you assume that developers do not understand how vaccines work in our world? This is a fictional game.
Personally I did wonder why it was thrown and not given by at shot but I do not tie that to understanding of real life medicine, just seems a bit odd to me.
@MVWdeZT I totally missed why it was thrown even when I was running round there for hours. If you feel like it I would love to know why :)
You know The Sims is suppose to be a life simulation right? All things considered. In GTW sims already give a form of injected shots so why didn't they use a similar animation with the same object? It's not consistent at all and it's jarring to see a vaccine as throwing a drink to your face.
Ahem......
Wright has stated that The Sims was actually meant as a satire of U.S. consumer culture. Wright took ideas from the 1977 architecture and urban design book A Pattern Language, American psychologist Abraham Maslow's 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation and his hierarchy of needs, and Charles Hampden-Turner's Maps of the Mind to develop a model for the game's artificial intelligence (from wiki)
And all the way back to sims 1 (especially there) and in Sims 2, there was very quirky things that are NOT a part of real life.
As satire/parody it does what it is supposed to do and that is exaggerate the normal to the ridiculous.
