The Plague: A Detailed Study
KittKitt:
Yeah, sims on the phone are a weird case.
In some ways, the game considers them "on the lot", but not for most things. So magicmoon is probably correct in that it simply took her recovery rate and time passage into consideration and cured her, but that actually transmitting a virus to her via the phone is likely impossible.

BastDawn:
What's the point of sims getting sick if they're so unlikely to die from it? :P Maxis might as well have left it out entirely -- starving a sim sounds easier.
jsalemi:
From what I've read, it was easier for sims to die from sickness in the base game, and maybe in Uni. But since NL (and definitely since OFB), the chances of death from sickness have gone way down. Maybe they figure there are enough other ways for a sim to die, or maybe it's a potential problem if a sick sim dies on an owned business lot (which seems more likely to me).
Avalikia:
Well, if it's the latter, we know JMP can fix that.

Also, is it really possible for a Sim to come home sick from work? I've only ever seen a sim get sick from the biotech station, food poisoning or roaches, and even then it's really rare, not to mention that any of those scenarios are pretty unlikely unless you're incredibly careless or trying for them.
Happened to my sims regularly in base game only. Haven't got Uni or NL. Haven't noticed in OFB.
Of course if there was a plague tile at the portal, that could have been co-incidence!
