Fictional worlds can make up their own rules. But everything needs to be governed by CONSISTENT rules, whether it's physics, biology, astronomy, etc. For example, if you want an alien species without lips to speak perfect English. you must explain how it is possible, given the fact that many words in the English language are articulated using bilabial or labiodental consonants. Same for magic, which needs different laws of physics, as most magic spells violate the Law of Conservation of Mass.
It has been established in previous Sims games (Ambitions, Get to Work) that vaccines are administered through the subcutaneous route with a needle or special device. Any explanation they could give now will CONTRADICT what has been previously established (canon).
At the end of the day, it's just a bunch of excuses apologists or developers make up for lazy animations. It's ridiculous to pretend there's some deep lore behind throwing vaccines like drinks when it's pretty clear it was the result of laziness.
I agree that Get to Work has shown that one way to give a sim a vaccine is by giving that sim a shot.
I do not know of any information that shows that the ONLY way of administering vaccines to a sim is by giving that sim a shot. What is the evidence for every other way of vaccination being excluded in this fictional universe? It could be something I missed so I am always interested in learning more. I haven't finished the doctor-career and I like to collect little bits of trivia.
Hmm... as for the lore concerning vaccine being thrown being stupid, I will wait with the verdict on that until I know what that lore is. If you know do share, I am curious.
I can't help but notice that you use a lot of academic words so I might as well do it too. Perhaps I am biased in this case since I used to work as a material tester following ASTM-standards. That would be the "American Society for Testing and Materials". Proving that you have followed that standard to the letter and that your results are not only correct but also that others can achieve the same results as you of they have the materials, the equipment and the standards was for a while my thing. But then my field is materials and not medicine. When you in your earlier posts connected your criticism of the developers and MVWdeZT to the understanding of science in our world it got my attention and I disliked it. For me anything in this game concerning testing is so far far removed from anything in the "real world" that it just feels...well like fantasy. Or perhaps a game.
I expected them to use the animation of a sim getting a shot. The animation for a sim getting a fluid substance thrown in their face is more amusing so that is a bonus.
