Sim allergies

(1/3) > >>

eevilcat:
One of the Pescado toddler-spawn in my game just queued up an allergies! action then promptly sneezed. I've never seen this before and was wondering what, if anything, it does beyond looking cute**. I'm also kind of curious as to whether the 'allergy' will persist into childhood and beyond. I'd just fed the sproglet some smart milk so it could be related to that.

**Cute is a description I normally reserve for kittens/cats, but this action did actually look cute.

Madame Mim:
It's a Seasons thing and you can see the alergies token if you look in SimPE. I think it must be like the twins modifier. Some Sims carry it and it is activated by appropriate situations - in this case probably Spring.

J. M. Pescado:
It actually accumulates on all sims during spring. It appears to be a harmless action, and doesn't appear to be a genetic property, or I'd have to institute mass-executions to cleanse the gene pool.

eevilcat:
It is Spring in that household and the sprog in question had just drank their 3rd bottle of smart milk in their current period of awake/activity. I don't normally bother with smart milk and use the lot debugger, but this is the legacy household so they have to do it the hard way. I almost went down the too much smart milk (dairy) allergy route of thinking. Spring makes a lot more sense. Now I think about it, I have noticed other sims sneezing but not the current, active sim so I couldn't see what was in their action queues. I will pay more attention in future.

J. M. Pescado:
All sims seem to be affected by this, which seems to suggest that for whatever reason, these "allergy" problems have become widespread in the population. Which is odd, since I don't remember such things even being spoken of, even by the less-awesome, when I was a kid. In my day, springtime was a time when we would run about outside wielding hefty sticks with which we would beat each other for entertainment. Certainly there was no thought of these "allergies" that people speak of. I should investigate what peculiar Maxian beliefs guide their functioning.
