The Plague: A Detailed Study
jsalemi:
I've had sims come home sick since OFB, but never had a sim die from it.

Oh, god! Typhoid Nanny. Now that would make the game interesting, considering the number of households one nanny can be working in.
Maybe, maybe not. I only have one maid in my custom neighbourhood. She's a playable Sim and has been the neighbourhood maid since she started as a new CAS adult. She's an elder now and cleans more or less every house in the neighbourhood. She currently has 'flu and is spreading it to everyone who hasn't already got it. This has been going on for a while (it's some time since I played her lot) but nobody seems to be suffering unduly. It all started with Gvaudoin Tricou's family, as I recall. There were 8 people living there until recently and they all had it - Nylissit even died of old age while suffering from it. They've had it for ages but they don't seem to get any worse, they just keep recovering and catching it again over & over. Her eldest set of twins are due to start Uni very shortly, so maybe they'll infect the campus, although that's happened before and not come to anything either.
It was definitely easier to die of the 'flu before NL - I had several die of it with that glitch they eventually fixed, where they'd die on their own lot if they recovered on another. Apart from my bride under the wedding arch, it's the only way mine ever did die of the 'flu.

That's the kind of thing that happens in my game. It's very annoying. I'm wondering if I have "plague spots" in strategic places that won't go away - like doors and portals.... How do we ID these spots? Would be nice if the lot debugger cleaned them up ;D
Ancient Sim:
Well, mine are catching it from each other. One household member recovers, then immediately recatches it from another who hasn't recovered. Sometimes they get better at work/school, then catch it again as soon as they get home. It all seems totally pointless when it never gets any worse. I certainly don't treat mine any differently and they rarely stay off work - no point when they're always told "You don't sound ill" and lose a day's vacation (which I immediately give them back via Insim because they were ill, damnit!).
Jelenedra:
Really? My sims never got told that they didn't sound ill. Even when they were giggling into the phone.
Then again, my sims are always in a hellish good mood in the morning.
