Sickness Mods

Are there any good sickness mods out there? I don't want anything too lethal or insanely contagious, but I want my Sims to actually be affected when they develop an illness beyond a weak moodlet that goes away after a couple of hours.

(I was using Slice of Life, but I've removed it because there's some other aspects of the mod I don't like.)

Thanks :)

    If you have testing cheats on, if you shift click your Sim, there's an illness pie menu called Illness System that can be used to remove the illnesses.
  • While these mods are great, they don't really touch on mental health outside of a few basic diseases (which may be a good thing, lol, given the backlash you can get if you represent diseases in a certain way). While I"m tempted to try out Private Practice, I'm such a fan of adeepindigo's work that I instinctively gravitate towards their versions of mods. XD

    Oh no @GalacticGal, that's not good :( Patching always feels risky to me when you rely on mods. I usually have Origin permanently offline (unless I specifically need the gallery) to avoid any surprise patches, so I can wait until all the mods I use are updated.
    I hope you get your game fixed soon.

    Healthcare Redux: There are some aspects I'm not keen on, it's maybe a bit more in-depth than I'd like, but I'm going to keep playing with it and see how I get on :)


    I tried that mod, but it isn't updated and it ended up Borking my save, instead. :open_mouth:


    Healthcare Redux has been updated recently (March 11th, version 3.1.3); it's working fine in my game:

    It's now modular so you can pick and choose which aspects you want/don't want.

    I don't use slice of life myself however, I have seen that it is broken up into "modules" now so that you can just use the elements you like from the mod?

    Otherwise, there is Private Practice by SimRealist & Healthcare redux by adeepindigo. I've used Private Practice and I liked it, but I think there's been a lot of updates since I last used it, so I can't comment on the current version of the mod. Healthcare redux I've yet to check out but I've watched some YouTube videos on it and it looks interesting, if not a little bit buggy when it comes to booking doctors appointments etc. But you can check them out for yourself and see if they are what you are looking for :)


    I tried to do that with Slice of Life but I couldn't get rid of all the things I disliked, so I gave up and just yanked the full mod out!

    Private Practice looks really good and in-depth, so I think I might give that a go.

    Thank you :)
  • Oooof, that's unfortunate @GalacticGal . lol
    Yeah, there happen to be a few ones out there for medical enhancements, but I will be giving more of these mods a try.

    Well, thank you for the Heads up. I do admit that it has been a while since I last checked on it. So happy to know, it's now updated. All of my Sims are struggling with illness since I returned the updated Private Practice to my Mods folder. Do they interfere with each other, do you know? I like PP for the fact my would be physician can go to Med School, as the proper next step in succession.

    i went back to it after the update no issues.
  • What happens in the Healthcare Redux one when a sim has chronic illness? I guess I'm probably spoiling the fun by asking... I have a chronic illness and I'm not sure yet if I want to play it in the game. It's normally my escape. But I have really desired the sims to represent disability and chronic illness. So it would help me to hear what the chronic illness feature does exactly, to help me figure out whether I'll feel ok trying it.
