sickness indicator?

I don't remember if she was an active enough sim or not to increase her fun level. But hygiene certainly went down, as well as comfort and energy. So what motives (or needs) have to be improved for a sim to get well? Just fun?
Hehe, all I can do is speculate. Maybe the game only does a sick-check every 1, 2, 3 or 6 Sim hours. If the general state of your Sim's motives has improved since the last check, your Sim's chances of getting healthy again will improve. Maybe your Sim did other things that improved Comfort, Hygiene, Bladder or whatever. I think next time I get a sick Sim, I'll be sure to take notes.
Sim-Man! To the Biotech Station! :D

No Zephir, the sickness comes when the simulator wants to hint something, or "punish" you for a bad decision...:).
I played at General Buzz's house, and didn't know that you are not suppose to leave a child alone. So, Tank wanted to get a job, and I found him a job. That day Buck remained alone from 3 PM to 4 PM, and I got a message: "it's not wise decision to leave kids alone". At 4 PM Buzz returned from work, and I got a message that he is sick with the flu. Buck had to grow to a teen the next day, at 6 PM.
The simulator hold Buzz sick all the night, and all morning, and I had to "call in sick". It was a punishment, and a hint that I have to leave somebody with Buck.
Another useful hint I got, when I wanted to throw a wedding party: the future bride had a day off, but the groom had to work until 6 PM. I didn't know what to do.
A day before the wedding the groom came home sick with the flu. Boy, I was so happy for the hint! I called in sick, and the groom got healthy in no time, ready for his wedding.
From then on I used the "call in sick" as a strategy...:).

Well, after probably 5,000 hours of playing, that's a new one on me!
ElviraGoth:
Same here! My sims get sick when they don't have to work! In fact, I only have them call in sick when they miss the car pool! I think I only had one call in sick once when he really was sick.
