The Plague: A Detailed Study
buddha pest:
How is the virus from the biotech station consumed?
This has been the greatest sim mystery to me since the question of why they always think about a wall when they eat pizza.
J. M. Pescado:
It isn't. The Virus is a vestigial feature, rather like an appendix, only some of us still use that. Its only "perk" is that it has, strangely enough, no risk of infection when creating it solo for logic-training. Which is not really a perk because the chessboard is faster than the Biostation, without a trainer, and WITH a trainer, you can't do the virus thing. Plus it's only available around 7 or 8 points. At one point, you might have been able to sell it the Burglar, but this feature seems to be inoperable or cut.
And they think about a wall when eating pizza because the wall is blocking one of their navigational possibilities when moving away from the pizza box.

Always with the riddles.
So it just infects sims now and then while they're making medicines?

Yes, based on a fancy algorithm that determines infection risk based on hygiene level, personality, skill, and aspiration. The Skillinator actually takes these factors into account and won't have your sim use the Biostation unless it's safe.
Ellatrue:
Crappy biotech station, I want a hack to sicken other people with the virus. Stupid Maxis, what's the point of even making it?
