Diseases In The Sims!

This would be so cool! In the beginning, when creating your sim, you could give them a disease or defect at birth or somewhere is the settings be able to turn it off. You could make them have cancer, and eating disorder, like real life to be honest. And in game it would notify if anyone sick was near by and if its contagious, and they would put like a red sign above a sick sim. And if a sim has cancer or a more serious disease, when you click to chat, you could encourage them and make them feel better about their insecurities. And, not to mention, a new challenge! The All disease challenge would be so fun. Could you survive through all diseases in the sims?
It'd also be educational in a way. If your sim had an eating disorder they would have to see a therapist, and if a sim had diabetes you would have to have them eat foods they can eat, same with other diseases that have side effects and things.

They're serious real-life issues, not a fun game feature.
And I'm sure a majority of people (including myself) may even find it offensive to have them in TS4, especially those who've experienced such things or have watched others go through it, and are ones who escape to the game to get away from those things.
We can easily save everyone the trouble and use our imaginations if we want to take our gameplay that far.
I don't think this would ever happen in the Sims. Maybe they could get sick temporarily but they'd always have a cure/medicine.
Personality,depth,humor,consequences,lore,customization.
Asking for this is just as bad as asking for disabilities, birth defects, cigarettes/cigars, abortions in a game that is meant to be fun. To me, the Sims is a spoof/parody of life. To me, it's a way to allow my Sims to do things that I can never do in real life such as having them be a vampire, witch, fairy, genie, ghost, etc.
Like I said earlier in my first post is that you can use your imagination that your sim is sick with cancer. You can already send them to the hospital with the Get to Work EP and have them get examines, surgeries with the table. So you can pretend that when they get a surgery, that they are getting a cancer tumor taken out. Or if they get sick and throw up from having an upset tummy, you can pretend that they just went through chemo or radiation and now they have gotten ill from getting. See I just pretended that a sim has cancer without it ever being in the game. This game is about using our imagination...

I really don't see anyone being rude about this. People are just stating their opinion and how it's not something that should ever be in any Sims games. People play this game to get away from real life issues such as these. I really don't think that people would want to see their Sims decline from having cancer. Cancer is no laughing matter and should never ever be in any Sims games. I have seen too many people that I love die from this disease. If you they ever did put this in here, then they might as well put in abortions, disabilities such as blindness, deafness, guns and knives that can kill people, STD's. This is a game, not real life.

Okay But still what I'm saying is I thought it'd be a cool idea to add real life features to it, I know its a game. A loved one of mine has died from cancer too, And I did not say cancer was a laughing matter.
Currently in Sims 4 your sim can get a bit under the weather with the giggles and so on then they order medicine and take it. i am fine with that, what i would like to add is maybe if my sim has the fever they can sit in bed and have chicken soup or call the doctor to come around or have a parent sim care for the child, get a sick certificate to hand into work something like than but not things like cancer.
To calm down haters of this idea, what if instead real life diseases, be non-real ones?
Get To Work ills are quite easy to cure and even if you no take medicine, it is cured by time. They should advance if no cured or you take action to mitigate it. Even reach a point where it turns into fatal diseases
excuse me but i have to disagree with you on that subject and remind you that such a thing will never be added in game

It's okay to want these features in the game, they were in The Sims 2(Death by Disease that is, or, at least I think so…?).
The Sims 2 had a responding Pop Up saying, "The Sims is a Life Simulation Game" in response to an abnormal amount of Sims Dying. Example: Removing the Pool Ladder in TS2.
The Sims is a Life Simulation. And, that is what it has been all about. Living Life, and the series has some of the Real World's features and situations integrated within itself, including various types of death.
The Life Simulation isn't all about death so much as it is about Life, and experiencing Life in this co-existence with Reality.
Now, can you explain why my idea is a bad idea?
EXCUSE?
Cancer = color blind....
But return tothe topic, as a life simulator, is not bad include diseases.
Now see this: How is posible than if you no cure a disease, also the worse of them like the ones than at doctor career need surgery, with 2 or 3 days your sim recover as if nothing happened?
As much as I agree with you, losing people is normal. It'll happen to everyone whether it's disease or old age. But, I think it'll be a good idea. Try to cure cancer in the sims, if something serious happens go to the hospital. It'll hit the sims 4 with more realistic content. But some might not want it because it's drags everything in real-life away for awhile. Im not really going to take sides because everybody has good points.
And if they put stuff in they shouldn't as cancer or anything serious. Make real life diseases with fake names but not as serious. Trust me, I'm not even 20 yet and I've lost plently of people already.
Fictional diseases would be a good point. Read my comment at page 1
