I do not work for EA. I'm just collecting and put in a compiled list. I do not work in customer support, I'm just a user (hey, my signature says that). I'm trying my best to keep things organized without getting a cent for that.. I'm doing this for both sides but it's not my task to send anything up the chain.That is EA's task by reading these and the official forums.
I've put so many hours into this and the least I ask that people read instructions so I can add bugs as they come. I spend about 2 hours each morning just to add new threads and make sure everyone gets an answer, merge threads and move yet another on issues on the list or posted right above.
Each issue needs it's own thread as instructions say. Threads like this are just general collections and a mixture of feedback and maybe bugs in there but to find out if they are bugs, it takes a back and forth. You're welcome to make threads on things you think are bugs but this sounded like general annoyances. I'll try to answer each of your bugs and why I don't think they are bugs.
I'm just so very tired of people not reading the instruction threads (and this thread does not give the impression that you did at all) or bother to look at the compiled list which is stickied (this may or may not apply to you so please don't be offended). My post was nothing more than a statement what needs to go where. This is not to complain, I can just quit if I get too tired of it since I don't owe anyone anything.
I'm sorry if you think I'm condescending and wronged you by moving this, but I'm just trying not to drown in threads. People do not remove their mods and report everything as bug quite readily (most of them then never come back.). Yes, my answers are sometimes very short and I don't express my sympathies for everyone but that also is a time problem. Also, English is not my mother tongue.
I agree with you that stuff still needs tweaking but that's what the feedback forum is for. Stuff we don't like (or don't understand yet).
That said, I'm not going to move this back but you're welcome to open new threads in the bug forum (one per issue) if you still think they are. We can talk about it but compilation threads like this mess up my whole system. You might find that a bit selfish of me and rather post your own way but as long as I putting my time into this, I'd rather have it done my way. I hope you can understand that.
Find below my answer to your issues and why I don't think most of them are bugs but maybe something that either needs a better understanding of things or are feedback for tweaking.
- Some shows symptoms, others don't. Some react and have thought bubbles, others have graphical indications. If you're not seeing any those, you're welcome to make a thread on this.
- Maybe you need to do some other stuff first ? Maybe they are inconclusive since you're not high enough to read them yet. In the beginning all other test are being inconclusive too and while you advance, they get clearer. I'm not sure but the actual sickness could also play a role.
- They seem to be pretty rare but I've seen them, others have seen them and you might need to go to work for a few days until you get them. They get more frequent as you level up.
- It's pretty random who you get and I'm pretty sure they don't check which Sim has been there which day. They probably have a different sickness now. Who is leaving your hospital ? The Sims at the reception or the ones admitted to a bed ?
- Mine are doing the task without any issues. Not in the lower levels but once I'm a doctor, they do as they are supposed too. Have you seen this on the lower levels or on the higher ones still ? Maybe you have especially social nurses ? NPCs do tend to their needs while they work.
- I'll give you that one. New thread for that issue as said above.
- Who is she ? Your doctor Sim ? Did you give them anything to do afterwards ? I don't think they do stuff on their own (except tend to their needs). If I queue stuff, I've never seen them not do what told and just ideally chat.
- Your last bug could be anything from a technical issue to something interfering in the background so for troubleshooting it's better to post this in the general forum so it can be narrowed down (and yes, I'm aware that others have this issue, it might actually have a thread but I can't keep all 600 issues in mind)

I am frustrated by these issues too. My sim doesnt stare into space when I give her a duty, but the rest is happening. The way it operates surely cant be how they intended it to. In addition, I will say that the dr should be asking the nurse to do the x ray & treadmill test. Nurses should also be admitting patients to their exam beds after the orderly makes up the bed.
The symptoms are also not consistent. Bloaty head has sims farting & giggling and seeing stars too. Things like that are offputting but perhaps intentional so that we cant take getting it right for granted. Im loving the scientist career, fyi. Havent found gripes yet other than my coworkers are unknown sims rather than sims my sim knows in other households who are in the same industry.
