The Plague: A Detailed Study
Magicmoon:
Yesterday I had a child bring home another child from school. While the visiting child was on the lot, she caught the cold that the family had. The visiting girl is one of my playables on another lot.
The next day the little girl called my child. I left them talking on the phone for awhile. Then I got a popup saying that several of my sims were now well. I also got a popup saying the visitor girl on the phone was now well!
So I was wondering if I could note all the sick sims and call them to get them well? I've had a cold plague going around the neighborhood for quite some time now.
Anyone else had a similar experience?

Maybe things would spread more if NPC's weren't immune. I have a feeling that if you remove their immunity in SimPE, the game puts it back, but I'm not sure. I particularly don't see why the nannies should be immune, it would serve them all right to be hacking all over the place at the same time as peeing their pants.

It treats the girl at the other end of the phone as a resident of the lot doesn't it. Just like them getting stuck on the lot if the phone conversation doesn't end properly. aaarrgh
Definitely worth exploiting if you are trying to get rid of a plague!
Awful thought -If you can cure them by phone, maybe you can spread them by phone too!
Calling all their friends is one of the things I let them do if they are sick! Have to stop doing that I think!

Oh, god! Typhoid Nanny. Now that would make the game interesting, considering the number of households one nanny can be working in.

I don't think it spreads by phone. I think the reason the girl on the phone was cured was because it treated her like she was there timewise, therefore enough time had passed for her to get well. I think they have to walk near a spot where a sick person was to get sick, but I'm not 100% positive.
