[EBN] Ailments too frequent

THIS!!!

I am also still having issues with ailments being way too frequent!  I have the most recent update (the one that focused on the pregnancy bug) but it persists. I disabled balance and imbalance, disabled luck, and even limited fairies to innisgreen.  One sim (in my household of 8) ended up with 2 ailments in 24 sim hours (gnome lure and greeny meanie)!  It is a legacy save and when i moved her out as the heir she continues to have very frequent ailments (more than 1 per sim week).  I do not play with mods or CC, have all EPs, GPs, and SPs and several kits.  

That sounds fair, but my biggest problem is there's still no promises that fairies can cast their "Cure/Apply Ailment" spells if we do that, currently Player Fairies are forbidden from casting spells effecting others luck/balance when those settings are disable (which I guess makes sense but I still feel robbed because Sims don't just randomly turn my PCs into Vampires either, and I can keep that, but not simple stuff like Ailments :/)

In Any Case, the real problem on my end is the contagious spread...any time you get proximity driven programmatic spread timers bad things happen in programming. And the more complex you make the math, the more unwieldly it becomes to debug/fact check.

What a computer can never fully simulate is the effect of immunity...and I'm not even talking retroactive immunity....some people just don't get sick in the real world, no matter the illness they come upon, a machine can't calculate that. As a result any attempt to spread contagiously as a calculation becomes flawed when processed  by  a machine because it is missing a key variable in the equation. Funnily Enough the "Immunosuperior" people constitute a larger portion of the population than most people realize...the amount of people exposed to a specific illness that will be asymptomatic or fully immune can be as high as 66% of the population, depending on the virus. The Computer basically by comparison calculates every disease as if it were cancer.

There should be a toggle on/off for each  luck, balance and ailments. As well as a ailment frequency option:

• high, similar to now (maybe slightly less) basically for those in the naturopath career who want the chaos
• medium, like only luck/balanced based
• low, like a seasonally/monthly chance card on 2-3 household members

There's a small notice somewhere in game (i forget where) that even using a toilet is enough to catch a contagious disease off the home lot. While I see why they did this it does explain to a large degree why townies (and by proxy player sims) are infected so much. If it's spreading through the toilets then it might as well be everywhere. Again I would really think this could all be handled best by a toggle for contagious spread (which is a really bad game design idea, and Yay for the people who think it's cool but I don't like it...at all; that being said, I wouldn't want to deny my fairies yet another Player-Triggered ability like with Luck and Balance...ultimately we're asking for NPCs to be backdrop characters like they should be.)

I really wonder if Luck and Balance really matter off the home lot. As soon as I leave the home lot to another lot all/any of my sims get an ailment because of it.

On the home lot and not leaving it is far far... far less frequent (and seem manageable as a Naturopath). And it does look like Luck and Balance play a part.

I would like to be able to disable Contagious Ailments, perhaps trading in the imbalance/balance settings, as contagious diseases and Computer Games don't see eye to eye (just look at RLV Transformations on old Second Life, every body thought they were cool then they ended up being too frequent and invasive so most Sims banned them), this should've been a feature that was toggleable from the beginning.

Maybe make them optionnal like luck & balance.

- No mods in my game (pc)
- All the updates are done, 
- The two sims of my household vomit several times a day, without ailment

this is the main reason why I did not get the pack yet. the frequency of ailments I have seen in various videos is just way too high (also houseplants do not seem to work properly 😭)

hopefully there will be an option to turn them off, then I will get the pack, I really like the living in nature aspect
