CODE UPDATE: Private Practice 2.2.0 (PRE-RELEASE)
🕑 Added 2021-05-27 00:17:49 +0000 UTCHello Everyone!
We finally have a Private Practice update to fix all the ails you! 😂 Please see below for the changelog. Illnesses should be much more manageable now, and you have the option of sending your Sim kid to school or not, thanks to Nathan and Zafireria!
We also updated the Newcrest, Family Health Clinic (S) & Center (L), where you can complete all Checkup and Sick Visit interactions on one floor. This should make the appointments a little smoother. I was able to time Checkups to be about an hour while Sick Visits are longer since "health data" should be logging into the "health system" for each interaction. Then you have to wait for the appropriate NPC to get that "data. This is why the Centers have cafes in case your Sim gets hungry. 😉 Maybe we should add in the interaction to Request a Meal and Sleep on Exam Bed too? 😂😅🤔
SIDE NOTE: X-Rays and Treadmills - once you request an exam, give the mod some time to find the next available NPC to assist with these tests. As soon as one is assigned, you'll see them in your Sim's task list and everyone should be making their way to that machine. If you don't see this occur in about 30 Sim minutes, then request it once more.
We separated the Mod Files and the Tray Files to see if that helps everyone. That way, if you rather get these updates in the Gallery by searching for account SimRealist with your "Include Custom Content" allowed, you don't have to worry about putting the mod files too deep.
Please feel free to provide feedback or error reports on Discord. It is easily trackable there. See the bottom of this post on how to get started with that.

We are working on something else to resolve the illness chance. We hope to update this as soon as we complete our patch updates.
Works great for me! I just love to have an option for a rabbit hole. bc I rotate between lots of households and everytime I change someone is sick again so I went to the clinic like 7 times this weekend >.< and the cheat dident remove the negative moodlet for me so there is that. Is there a way to change how often they get sick?

Hi, I have an issue , when my sims are at their appointment for some reason It wont let me click the check in kiosk? Can anyone advise me on this?
SimRealist
You're so very welcome 😃
By the way, I am a technical support specialist, and thank you very much for getting back to me that fast and taking my feedback really seriously. I really appreciate what you do and it does improve my game experience greatly. So I also wanna thank you for your interest and for your effort.
SimRealist
I get that, and we are working on Organic in addition to adjusting EA illnesses.
Was using the public version before this update. And recently subscribed to you on Patreon. I am playing this character for a long time and I completed the check-up visit before I upgraded to the Patreon version. Actually when I upgraded there were still 14 days before the regular check-up. But when I changed the mod files with the Patreon version, my sim started to wake up with a different symptom every day. I am going to the hospital with a sick appointment. Taking the recommended medication. Then she is fine but the next day she is sick again. And today when I tried to play, she couldn't even complete the getting the results part so I was so overwhelmed and just get rid of the mode. The only reason I paid for Patreon was the Organic mode and now it is incompatible too. So I am a little disappointed.

This new update has been working much more smoothly for me. I don't have to prompt the patient to go from one task to the next. The appropriate clinician attends them promptly as well. The only problem. I also appreciated how my sim couple went to Sulani on their honeymoon and one started sneezing and was diagnosed at the clinic with allergy to hibiscus (very appropriate for the tropics!) It also stayed consistent in his health record after he went to the clinic later with flu symptoms (after his bride came down with a flu virus first). The only thing I had a problem with was too many visitors, patients and clinicians gathering in the restroom and patient rooms, blocking the path. Good work, everyone!
SimRealist
We are adding another parameter for the illnesses but the sick visit should take no more than 3-5 hours depending on how many patients you have and how big the clinic is. Have you completed a checkup or visit before this update?
It's buggy. First of all everyday your sim wakes up sick. But when I go to the hospital with a sick appointment. It takes like 10 hours to complete process. Doctors never came to explain results. You are just waiting and waiting. So it is not fun in the end. I deleted it.
SimRealist
Yes, in the Sim’s debug menu. And being diagnosed? Are you not giving them allergy medication to alleviate symptoms? This is a realistic thing to have where they are struggling with their allergies.
Jennifer M
How do we disable allergens? I can't seem to find it and all of the sims are sneezing and being diagnosed way too frequently. I like the mod overall but this is making my sims consistently miserable.
MapperWalkie
Lol you are waiting on that. I am here waiting for dentistry lol
SimRealist
Not yet. We have to build a system for you to run first 😅
Nicolette Hogue
i hope so too!! lol. Im just happy cause i wait like a week to two weeks after. Ensure no big breaks (windows, chairs ;'( ) than wait till all modders have basically given like an okay, or an update. Thhaaaan i update. lol
SimRealist
Yes, normally we would wait but I'm taking a chance by releasing this early. I hope it makes it through tomorrow.
Nicolette Hogue
yes, and before the update tmrw !!
