Medical examination

From now on, your characters want to monitor their health. If your Sim undergoes a medical examination, you will be able to find out about problems with their physical condition or blood pressure. You will be told what to change in his lifestyle to improve his health and what could put him at risk. You may want to follow the doctor's advice, because if these problems are left unchecked, natural death may occur sooner.

Vital Factors

Just like in the real world when a doctor checks vital signs, your Sims can now do the same by checking their weight and blood pressure.

Weight: A vital factor that keeps track of your character's fitness score and weight. Being overweight or underweight will negatively impact your character's fatigue and need for sleep.

Being overweight/underweight or having high/low blood pressure can increase the likelihood of further health problems for your character. His lifespan will shrink a little every moment of living with these problems. On the other hand, playing a full-fledged sport can increase your Sim's lifespan.

Blood Pressure: A vital factor that is affected by a character's age, traits, and physical form, and varies with mood, energy levels, and how much water they drink.

A character's blood pressure can be affected by, for the most part, five key factors:  age ,  weight ,  needs (energy/thirst),  mood , and/or  traits . He must have  three or more of the listed factors within a range to receive a health report with high/low blood pressure data.

The only way to know if your character has health problems is to undergo a medical examination. The Medical Examination costs §150 and lasts 1-2 hours, and upon completion, your character will be given a health report.

How to go for a medical examination

To go to the medical examination, use your character's phone, open the "Go" tab and select "Private Practice". In the "Private Practice" menu, you can also view your character's health report from his last medical examination.

Health Reports

Health reports display your character's physical condition and blood pressure at the time of the medical examination. Click or hover over each result to read more about possible contributing causes and recommendations for improving your Sim's health.

Sims now receive recommendations in their health reports received upon returning from their next medical checkup. A medical check-up may be scheduled shortly after their birthday, 24 hours later, or seven days later if they have health issues that need to be monitored.

When your Sims are going to the Medical, they can get a whim about going to the Medical and a random stress moodlet due to their health concerns. Responsible characters are more likely to worry about postponing medicals, and irresponsible characters will never worry about their health.

Weight

Weight is measured in terms of fitness and body fat of the character. Stay in shape by building muscle or doing endurance exercises without reaching the highest fitness skill levels. Similar to how human muscle mass and body fat are measured.

Fitness and body fat ranges are set according to in-game thresholds:

HIGH: Above 30% fit/body fat | LOW: Anything lower than 30%

It would be wise to keep an eye on your character's weight, as the mod increases energy loss (10%), decreases character lifespan (.85x), or affects vitals. On the other hand, if your character's weight returns to normal, it can also increase energy (10%) and increase lifespan (1.20x).

Blood pressure

Private Practice measures blood pressure, which is influenced by a character's mood, energy level, and amount of water they drink, based on their age, traits, and fitness level. All these values ​​are taken from the data already present in the game, and not specifically created for this mod.

- Age: adult or elderly
