What's Up Chuck

If kid is sick for unknown reason it should be examined and its not overreaction.

sending them to class risks other kids getting sick or your kid throwing up on class again making things worse.

+ I would never choose the shelter from bullies option because that is sure overreaction while there is nothing to suggest your kid is being bullied or should get bullied for being sick

and while your kid might not be bullied yet they surely will be if teachers start treating your kid special and giving " do not bully the sick" lectures making a thing over it.

bullies feast on that nonsense.

Oh, by all means send him straight to the clinic for a health check! You must be a responsible hidden alien parent.

What's the worst that can happen? I mean, what are the odds that his regular doctor will be out that day and Vasilios will be examined by a strange quack doctor who will be overcome with Evil Scientist Vibes and want to kidnap him for examination/cloning/dissection or other Evil Scientist things, possibly in conjunction with the Men In Black and/or the Military.

Nah, that could never happen, right? >:)

Real life? Then health check.

Rotational save? Whatever outcome raises (or drops) the values into the direction I have in mind for the child/teen sim. Doesn't matter what the parent would say in this situation, I know how all my sims will develop and want the character values to back that up.

Any other save? Whatever I feel the parent in question would answer.

I don't have the parenthood pack but I am a parent, and if my kid gets feverish or throws up at school I'm gonna just bring her home right away...

Vomiting once is no big deal, it could just be nerves or stress. The kid should have done their homework better, or, you know, just ask their crush on a date. Most of the time vomiting once clears whatever was the problem and aside from the vomit taste in their mouth they'll feel fine afterwards. Now if it continues or the kid in question specifically tells you they don't feel well they get booted to the nearest nurse station asap.

I don’t have kids so I can’t speak from experience but if that was my kid the first option seems most logical to me. My sim kid dito.
Check the heck outta him nurse. Doctor. Why in the world would the kid puke in the hallway? What age is he, 5?
Unless he did it on purpose but I’m going to assume the kid’s kinda decent any other day…
Better safe than sorry.

Option 2: I couldn’t care less what bullies think. I’d whoop their ars-ses if they came anywhere near my kid.
Option 3: Not an option. It’s possible he’d throw up all over his classmates so it’s best to avoid this kind of disaster. When it comes to puking let’s not take any chances. It’s bad enough as it is.

In fact, I’d bring him home with me so he can play with his Lego instead. School’s for Fools.

I'm horribly mercenary about these and decide based on the character value, always picking the one that boosts empathy (though I don't remember which one that is at the moment.0

Yeah, that's why I left out the results. I was curious how people would act without knowing. ;)

This made me laugh out loud. Yeah, Vasilios is fine. He came home fine. He had no other issues. Oh and I guess I forgot to mention our doctor is also an alien. ;) So yeah, no experiments.

Fever over 101 here in my state is required "go home" by the school. Throwing up without other issues is at the discretion of the parent. Personally, if that were a mission, I would definitely bring him home; always did with my daughter and my grandson. Well, would have if my daughter wasn't so stubborn. She had to be really sick before she'd accept that she was sick, otherwise, she'd say she's fine and I'd take her word for it (within reason.) But she was 11 when I found out I even had a daughter so she was already old enough to understand her body that well at least.

Yeah, as I stated, he was fine when he went to school and so I didn't feel like this was a serious condition to worry about.

As mentioned above, there are reasons such as nerves (he is the smartest kid in the Simverse after all), a crush that he doesn't know how to deal with, maybe an upcoming test (he's gotten nervous about those in the past) and I'm sure I'm missing other reasons that I can't remember since I blocked out my school years because age is a blessing that way. lol

, including the fact that Vasilios is an alien. No thank you on the whole "let's run experiments and see why he has two hearts" option. Lol

well yes if its alien send back to class
nurse wouldnt know what they are even looking at lmao health check be waste of time and expose your alien family

otherwise well health checks are not really that dramatic though :sweat_smile: and they already at nurses office so might as well

but I still stand by that i wouldn't send teachers to go bodyguard my kid from imaginary bullies over being sick

cause i have enough bad experience of nosy dumb teachers myself lmao
and i don't wish that fate on anyone

I give answers based on parent's traits. If parent is bro, it's second option, if snob then first option, or if ambitious then third option.

That's a very good way to look at it! You are truly an immersive player, aren't you?

I tend to answer parenthood questions based on the character of whoever is being asked for the advice.

Ambitious parents would be strict, whereas Non-committal give zero plums, for example.
