More Awesome Than You!

So I tend to fiddle around with the Make-Me-Sick tester a bunch. Because it is fun to make sims infect each other.  I just like epidemiology simulators, mainly. 

But I have an odd problem that's come up twice.  My sims keep dying of colds!  Aren't those supposed to be non-lethal?  Isn't the "recovered on another lot" bug supposed to be gone?

It's happened three times in my game - one time with the base game only, so I gathered that was probably "recovered on another lot."  This time sim in question this time had a low energy score, but not passing-out low, and generally high motives, and had had a cold for less than a day, and as she was giving a dormie a haircut, "expire" came up on her to-do list and the grim reaper showed up.   I have expansions up through Pets, and a bunch of hacks but none that have to do with illness.  And yes, I have read the whole Plague Thread.  (Have lurked here a while, just never bothered to participate.)

Use the Lot Debugger's "Show Plague Info" on any sim that is doing that, and it will show how their plague status is.

Hmm.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm still troubled by one point, though: according to all the material I can find, colds aren't supposed to kill outright when the plague meter fills up, they're supposed to turn into pneumonia... Maybe I missed a "your sim has pneumonia" announcement, but I don't think I would have done that more than once.  Maybe the "your sim has pneumonia" announcement just doesn't show up correctly?

I don't believe there is any such notification. It's not really an issue I pay attention to given that the conditions for such a thing are basically impossible.
