I don't want my sims dropping like flies, but it'd be nice to have a random death by sickness once in awhile.
Agreed...as long as it's random, and not something the player has to initiate. I have never had a Sim die from illness, even though I've had the plague in my neighborhood a couple of times.

Thanx!! I'll replace the other mod with this one. This sounds perfect.

So how does a sim get the plague in the first place anyways? I mean... it's got to start somewhere. I think strays should carry the plague. And there should at least be some small chance of spontaneous generation of the plague.
Spontaneous generation has been firmly discredited by existing medical science. It would take a lot of counterexamples materializing suddenly to make it a viable theory again.

I mean, to us it would appear as randomly, spontaneously generated... but it would make some sort of sense, because germs can be airborne and not visible. No?
That's why the new rules allow sims to contract the plague at longer ranges than normal if weakened. And actually, I've never, ever, witnessed anyone becoming spontaneously plague-ridden in real life. It ALWAYS starts somewhere, and you can always isolate it to exactly when it happened if you review their movements and contacts in detail.

But, I don't want it to be near impossible to get the plague either. My sims rarely ever get sick now as it is.
Well, it DOES help that you tend to practice sterile procedure in the game as-is. I mean, sims tend to lead pretty sterile lives, for the most part: They isolate themselves in their homes, and avoid contact with others. In real life, you'd pretty much never get the plague from that either.

And by all accounts that I've seen/read, it seems to be a lot of work to have a sim die from being sick. I don't want my sims dropping like flies, but it'd be nice to have a random death by sickness once in awhile.
Making the plague more lethal would be the subject of another hack entirely.

Not sure if this is causing it, and I just downloaded the update, but I figured I'd mention it anyway -- I'm having an odd thing happen with hot tubs outside in the winter. Sim gets in, and starts getting colder and colder, in spite of the heat of the water in the hot tub. Had a sim woohoo in the hot tub on ACR control, and he was on the verge of freezing when he got out. I know this mod keeps them from getting so hot they combust, but shouldn't they be at least warm while they're in the tub?

Definitely an unrelated phenomenon, that was not latered at all. However, being naked in Very Cold has a pretty high heat decay, so it's possible your sim was still losing temperature in spite of being in a hot tub.
