Line 7:
[[File:Illness.png|left]] With the infamous [[Small pets#The Sims|guinea pig]] [[Death|disease]] now a thing of ''The Sims'' past, Sims can now catch a few different diseases, each with their own symptoms and method of catching - some are contagious, too.
 
==The Sims: Livin' Large==
=== Guinea Pig Disease ===
'''Guinea Pig Disease''' is introduced in ''[[Livin' Large]]''. Sims can catch it if they are bitten by a guinea pig that has a dirty cage, or from other Sims who have been infected with the disease. Objects cloned from the guinea pig can also cause this disease. Sims infected with Guinea Pig Disease will sneeze and cough frequently, and their Comfort and Energy motives will rapidly decline. An infected Sim will die if not treated within time.
Line 19:
# Purchasing The Forgotten Guinea Pig painting will clear the disease from the household after 16 Sim hours.
# A Sim who drinks a white potion created with [[The "Concoctanation Station"]] chemistry set will be immediately cured of the disease. Additionally drinking a blue potion will restore three random motives which, while not directly curing the disease, can help them to recover from it.
 
== The Sims: Vacation ==
 
=== Montezuma's Revenge ===
'''Montezuma's Revenge''', also known as "'''Poopy Pants'''" (the name used by Maxis in the code), is a disease introduced in ''[[Vacation]]''. It's a form of food poisoning, and Sims can get it from eating at [[buffet table]]s when their [[Hygiene]] is low. Montezuma's Revenge cannot kill a Sim, but will cause great discomfort to the ill Sim as the [[Bladder]] motive will rapidly decline, making them spend plenty of time in the bathroom. The disease is not deadly, and will go away on its own after a period of time.
 
==== Treatment ====
The disease is not deadly, and will go away on its own after a period of time. Try to keep the affected Sim's Bladder motive up.
 
== The Sims: Unleashed ==
 
=== "Mystery Illness" ===
Line 34 ⟶ 27:
 
It does not appear to exist as a separate entity, but may have been the result of a bug involving existing illnesses. What it is, and whether it exists at all, remains subject to dispute. Investigations have shown that there is no reference to disease in any of the files that come with ''Unleashed'' (see [http://simblesseoblige.com/viewtopic.php?t=5645 this thread] at Simblesse Oblige), and that code which claims to cure the disease refers to a disease controller file which was included in ''Vacation'', which actually contains code for Poopy Pants.
 
== The Sims: Superstar ==
 
=== Nervous Breakdown ===
Line 41 ⟶ 32:
 
==The Sims 2==
''[[The Sims 2]]'' features multiple kinds of illnesses, each with its own symptoms and contagiousness. If certain illnesses are not cured within ten days, the Sim will [[Death|die]] of their illness. A tombstone above the Sim's head indicates the Sim is near death from illness. [[Child]]ren are taken away by a [[Social Worker]] before they get a chance to die and Toddlers and Babies cannot get ill.
 
Sims who are employed can Call In Sick with their workplace on a [[Telephone#The Sims 2|phone]], and they will be allowed to miss work without fear of being fired. The interaction is only available one hour before the [[carpool]] arrives until one hour after the job's start time. If the Sim calling in sick is not actually ill, its success is randomly determined based on [[job performance]]. Sims who are caught faking an illness will lose job performance and may even be demoted or fired. The interaction will always succeed if the Sim is genuinely ill.
 
=== Symptoms ===
* Coughing – Causes a drop in comfort.<ref name="gamefaqsdisease">http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/914811-the-sims-2/faqs/46379</ref>
Line 50 ⟶ 45:
 
=== Contagiousness ===
Food poisoning and morning sickness cannot be passed between Sims. All other diseases can, to varying degrees. Mysterious diseaseDisease is more contagious than flu, which is more contagious than a cold, which is more contagious than pneumonia.
 
=== Fatality ===
If certain illnesses are not cured within ten days, the Sim will [[Death|die]] from illness. A tombstone above the Sim's head indicates the Sim is near death from illness. [[Child]]ren are taken away by a [[Social Worker]] before they get a chance to die. Toddlers and babies cannot get ill. The mysterious disease can kill a Sim of any age group in less than 24 Sim hours, so it's possible for a child to die of the mysterious disease.{{confirm}}
 
=== Call in sick ===
This interaction is available by calling work on the [[Telephone#The Sims 2|phone]], and allows a Sim to miss work without fear of being fired. It becomes available one hour before the [[carpool]] arrives, and remains available until the Sim is one hour late. If the Sim is not actually sick, its success depends on [[job performance]]. It will always succeed if the Sim is actually ill.
 
=== List of Illnesses ===
==== Morning Sickness ====
Morning sickness will almost always happen when a Sim is [[pregnant]] and during the first trimester. It has the same symptoms as food poisoning, vomiting and nausea, but is not contagious or fatal.<ref name="gamefaqsdisease" /> There is no way to prevent morning sickness and its intensity varies between Sims.
* Symptoms – Vomiting, nausea<ref name="gamefaqsdisease" />
* Fatal? – No
* Contagious – No
Morning sickness almost always happens when a Sim is [[pregnant]] and in the first trimester. It also has the same symptoms as food poisoning. If the Sim is a female and didn't plan for a baby, or if it's a male Sim and wasn't recently abducted, then it is most likely they just ate some spoiled food.

==== Food Poisoning ====
There is a 10% chance any time a Sim eats spoiled or burned food that the Sim will get food poisoning.

* Contagious – Slightly
If the cold is not cured within ten days it will turn into pneumonia. The pneumonia has all the symptoms of both the cold and the flu{{confirm}}, as well as sharp and sudden drops in [[Energy]] in which a Sim appears to nearly pass out. If energy drops low enough, the Sim will pass out. Sims with pneumonia may die if not treated.
 
==== Influenza (flu) ====
Sims have a 1% chance to catch influenza when returning home from work or school. Additionally, if a Sim goes near cockroaches, there is a 5% chance they will catch influenza. Sims with Influenza will experiencing coughing fits and diarrhea, as well as sharp drops in fun and energy as well{{confirm}}.

Evil [[witches]] are immune to the disease spread by cockroaches.<ref>Cyjon's study of [http://cyjon.net/node/274 disease]</ref>
 
When the [[Beaker]] household in [[Strangetown]] is first played, there will be cockroaches near the refrigerator. Both Loki and Nervous will go to stomp on them and are likely to catch influenza. It is best to cancel out this action before they get there, and call an [[exterminator]].
 
==== Mysterious Disease ====
Also known as a virus, Sims can be infected with the Mysterious Disease when using the [[Career rewards#SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station|biotech station]]. There is a 0% to 60% chance of catching the virus, which will be lower depending on the [[mood]], [[Logic]] skill, Nice personality, and [[Hygiene]] of the Sim. Sims who are infected with the virus will experience two random symptoms, which can differ between Sims with the same strain of virus. The Mysterious Disease is potentially fatal and extremely contagious, able to easily spread through an entire neighborhood in a matter of days.
* Symptoms – Two random symptoms.
* Fatal? – Yes
* Contagious – Extremely
Also known as "Virus", Sims can be infected with this when using the [[Career rewards#SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station|biotech station]] with low logic skill. It should be noted that this disease is highly contagious and can easily spread through the entire neighborhood in a matter of days.
 
=== Treatment ===
The best cure for all illnesses is rest. Sick Sims should be kept away from healthy Sims, and should not be standing for too long. Their comfort and energy can be kept high by making them sleep and relax on a bed, until a message appears saying they are cured. [[Secret skills#The Sims 2|Meditatation]] can be used to freeze these motives in order to keep them high.
==== Rest ====
The best cure for all illnesses is rest. Keep the sick Sim away from healthy Sims, keep them from standing for too long, and keep their comfort and energy up by making them sleep and relax on a bed, until a message appears saying they are cured. If the Sim is able to [[Secret skills#The Sims 2|meditate]], this will also help.
 
Sims can make medicine with the [[Career rewards#SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station|biotech station]] which will reduce the duration of an illness. The medicine does not work correctly without ''[[FreeTime]]'' or ''[[Apartment Life]]'' however. A mod from [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=5624.0 More Awesome Than You!] can be used to make the medicine to work properly in games without these expansions installed.
==== Medicine ====
The medicine made with the [[Career rewards#SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station|biotech station]] cuts down the resting time needed to be cured of a sickness. Players who do not have either ''[[FreeTime]]'' (with up-to-date patches) or ''[[Apartment Life]]'' will need to get a mod from [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=5624.0 More Awesome Than You!] for the medicine to work properly.
 
With ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', drinking [[Juices|orange juice]] made from Tasty or Mouthwatering fruit can cure colds, or at least reduce the duration of the illness.
==== Orange Juice ====
If ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' is installed, drinking [[Juices|orange juice]] made from Tasty or Mouthwatering fruit will cure colds, or at least reduce the amount of time a Sim will need to rest.
 
With ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'', Sims with [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] as their primary or secondary [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]] can purchase the [[aspiration benefit]] '''Grandma's Comfort Soup''', which allows them to cook a special soup regardless of their [[Cooking#The Sims 2|cooking]] skill. When eaten by a Sim, this soup will cure any disease they have. If ''[[The Sims 2: Open For Business]]'' is also installed, Grandma's Comfort Soup can be added to the menu in an [[Restaurant#Business|owned restaurant]] regardless of possessing the benefit or not, which will cure any customers that are ill.
==== Grandma's Comfort Soup ====
With ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' installed, Sims with [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] as their primary or secondary [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]] can achieve the [[aspiration benefit]] '''Grandma's Comfort Soup''', which allows them to cook a special soup regardless of their [[Cooking#The Sims 2|cooking]] skill. When eaten, this soup will cure any disease a Sim has. It is recommended to have at least one Family Sim in the household just in case any Sim has caught any illness. If ''[[The Sims 2: Open For Business]]'' is also installed, Grandma's Comfort Soup can be added to the menu in an [[Restaurant#Business|owned restaurant]], so they can cure any customers that happen to be ill. This can be done even if the chef does not have the associated aspiration benefit.

The first moodlet will state that the Sim's stomach is upset, while the second one will imply he or she is ready to vomit. Sims have a 50% chance of vomiting before the second moodlet expires. If the Sim vomits, they will run to a toilet, but if there's no toilet nearby or the nauseous Sim is in the middle of performing a task, they will vomit on the ground. In ''[[The Sims 4: Get Together]]'', Sims may run to a bush to vomit. As soon as the Sim vomits, the nauseous moodlet will go away.

Most illnesses are not serious and are easily cured by drinking orange juice, hot tea, medicine (which can be purchased from a computer) or by napping or sleeping. Triple Threat, Itchy Plumbob, and Burning Belly are serious illnesses and require surgery for the Sim to be cured. None of the diseases are fatal.

When your sim is ill, you'll only get one symptom moodlet at a time, though your sim might also do idle animations for other symptoms.
 
Most of these illnesses aren't major and are very easily cured. Sims can either drink some orange juice, hot tea, take a nap or drink medicine purchased from a computer. Sims may not be able to visit the hospital (only unplayable Sims visit the hospital), so home cures like the ones above can apply in healing your Sim.
 
However, three illnesses, Triple Threat, Itchy Plumbob and Burning Belly, are more serious and require surgery to be cured. So far there have been no illnesses introduced to the game that can kill a Sim.
