SimNation: Difference between revisions

No known wars have been identified in SimNation's history, although it is implied by [[Emperor Xizzle]] in ''[[The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)|The Sims 2]]'' for Nintendo DS that Sims are at war with Aliens. Probably why, in [[Strangetown]], [[General Buzz Grunt]] shows pure hate towards [[Pollination Tech 9 Smith|Pollination Technician#9]]. A chance card in ''[[The Sims]]'' implies that SimCity is in a state of Cold War with "RedCity", but does not go into any detail. This theory could possibly be referenced in ''[[The Sims 3]] ''when [[Cowardly]] Sims sometimes get a thought bubble of a Nuclear/Radioactive symbol. Nuclear Weapons had a major role in the cold-war era, and release radiation, possibly confirming sims are still at a Cold War state. In ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' it is mentioned in [[Vivian Cho]]'s bio that her late husband [[Etokas Cho|Etokas]] died "in the line of duty", possibly implying that he was a soldier; however, this has not been confirmed by the game's creators.

SimNation also must have very high freedom of speech, as advertisements for criminalCriminal careers can be found on the [[Computercomputer]] as well as in the [[Newspapernewspaper]].

[[File:W give free health clinic.png|left|40px]] [[File:Biology.png|right]]While in the past, as shown in ''The Sims Medieval'', Sims were frequently at risk of serious disease and major injury, most illnesses in modern-day SimNation are minor and non life-threatening. The most common illnesses are colds (which may be caught at work or school, or by coming into contact with an infected Sim), food poisoning (from eating spoiled food) and pregnancy symptoms such as nausea. Colds are treatable by resting at home and consuming certain soups and juices, while food poisoning and morning sickness will eventually end on their own. There is a risk of untreated colds developing into the more serious pneumonia, which can be fatal, as can the flu, which can be caught from proximity to vermin. [[Mummy|Mummies]] and [[witch]]es can curse other Sims with illness. Accidental injury seems to be virtually non-existent outside of occasional [[The "Concoctanation Station"|lab]] [[Career rewards|accidents]], and though there are numerous ways to [[Death|die]] prematurely (common causes include fire, drowning, electrocution or starvation), a Sim who has come close to death but survived will recover very quickly and will not require hospitalization. Mental health problems such as nervous breakdowns are more common, and may be treated by the autonomous arrival of a [[Therapist]], [[Social Bunny]] or [[Tragic Clown]]. The trait [[Insane]] trait will also cause Sims to to talk to themselves, and want to do so. InsanityOther also shows other symptoms, and is untreatable, without removing it via cheats. Another traittraits referencing Mentalmental Illnessillness isinclude [[Neurotic]] and [[Unstable]], and much more closely resemblesresemble real life Mentalmental Illnessesillnesses.
