The Plague: A Detailed Study
cwykes:
whether they are believed or not is supposed to depend on that job performance bar... or so I was told....
Jelenedra:
That's been my experience. Hence the good mood in the morning = good job performance.

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!).
If a sim is not faking, as in, they really are ill, they will always lose a vacation day if they have one for calling in sick. The logic for testing for faking does not occur and they won't ever sound like they're really REALLY sick to the point where they get to keep their vacation day. They always lose a vacation day if they have one, so the only advantage of calling in sick is if you don't have a vacation day and catch the plague. Otherwise there's no benefit.

I thought you got an extra vacation day - shows how observant I am.
What about the messages? What is the timing on those. It doesn't look to me like they pop up straight away or sometimes at all. If the sim is coughing and spluttering, but you haven't had a message - are they counted as sick. If they look fine, no symptons but you haven't had a message, I've learned from experience, they are still sick!
J. M. Pescado:
If you have plague symptoms, you definitely have the plague, even if the notifications haven't popped up. If you don't see anything AND you have not seen any box, you may or may not have the plague.
