The Sims 4 is a life simulation game, so there are several aspects of day-to-day life that players will find replicated in the game. Just like in the real world, there is a hospital in The Sims 4 but it's not accessible to everyone.
The Sims 4: All Possible Ways To Kill A Sim
There are many unexpected ways to kill a Sim in The Sims 4 - here's how they all work.
This guide dives deep into The Sims 4 hospital, and it provides useful information including how it works and who can access it. On top of this, it also shows players how they can cure their Sims if they ever have the misfortune of becoming sick.
Where Is the Hospital in The Sims 4
In The Sims 4, players can access the hospital by purchasing and installing the Get to Work expansion pack. Unfortunately, The Sims 4 hospital is inaccessible through the world map. The only way to go to the hospital in The Sims 4 is to have a Sim join the Doctor Career or have a pregnant Sim go into labor.
How to Access the Hospital in The Sims 4
Being able to visit the hospital in The Sims 4 is only useful if players want to edit it, as it's not actually possible to get an appointment, cure an illness, or go for a check-up. Gamers who want to build a new hospital will have to simulate one of these situations so they can access the building and edit it:
Doctor Career
One of the ways to access the hospital is to choose the Doctor career in The Sims 4. Since this is an active career, each workday gamers will get to choose if they'd like to join their Sim at the hospital until they finish their shift. During this time, gamers will get to take over their Sim's life in the hospital.
Pregnancy
When a pregnant Sim goes into labor, they can have the baby at home if the player continues to let them endure the contractions at their house. However, players can also select the Sim and choose the option "Have Baby at the Hospital". After this, the game will prompt the player to send their Sim alone or join them.
How to Edit the Hospital in Sims 4
If players simply want to edit the building to create their own save file or improve how it looks, they can do so by editing it in Build Mode. Once players have gotten one of their Sims into the hospital, players will have to active cheats, since it's not possible to edit the hospital while the Sim is working or in labour.
Here is how to edit the hospital in The Sims 4:
- Open the cheat console by pressing “Ctrl+ Shift + C” on Windows and all four bumper buttons on consoles
- Enable cheats by typing “testingcheats on” or "testingcheats true" in the cheat console and pressing enter
- Type “bb.enablefreebuild” in the cheat console to gain access to Build Mode at any time
How to Treat a Sick Sim in The Sims 4
If a Sim has become ill, then gamers will have to treat them so that they can quickly recuperate and go about their days without the Uncomfortable moodlet bringing them down. Unfortunately, Sims can't visit the hospital if they've come down with something, so they'll have to resort to at-home remedies. Here are the various ways to treat an illness in The Sims 4:
Drink Orange Juice
To drink orange juice in The Sims 4, gamers have to interact with a refrigerator or any other container that allows them to grab cold Quick Meals, such as a cooler. Then, they have to choose Have a Quick Meal or Drink option and then select Orange Juice.
Drink Tea
An alternative to orange juice is tea, which players can brew if they purchase the Tea Magic Personal Brewer in Build Mode for 275 Simoleons.
Sleep
There's no better way to cure a Sim's illness than staying in bed and letting them nap or sleep whenever possible.
Take Medicine
To get Medicine in The Sims 4, players have to select the "Order" option on any computer, then "Purchase Medicine", and lastly make an order with the desired number of medicine bottles.
The Medicine will be immediately added to the Sim's inventory, and they can drink it simply by interacting with it and selecting the "Take Medicine" option.
