    Strange stomach ache?

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    My Sim only has one icon/moodlet at the moment, which shows he had a "fairly nice meal", and his happiness is green. But, he just rubbed his stomach, groaned, and had the Pepto Bismol icon above his head. (He's not a vegetarian, btw). I can't figure out why his stomach is bothering him. Any ideas?

      He's pregnant
      Seriously though, it might just be random animation. Sometimes my sims will be at full hunger after I feed them and they'll do the hungry animation, or they'll groan and complain for no reason. Sims are just whiny, sometimes. I don't think it's anything to worry about unless he's been abducted by aliens recently.
      or he just has to take a dump lol

      Ha ha. You guys make my day. You're so funny.
      Also, @Cupid -- My Sims so seldom EVER get sick, it never even occurred to me.

      My little alien has a bad tummy all the time. The icon has that ramen symbol and that he doesn't eat right. I am worried. He and his husband have had at least 3 babies. The latest was his husband's-he is human and got abducted the night before. My alien is usually the one that gives birth.
      Plus, their Japanese bath became dirty as soon as they both got in. A little notice popped up saying people who feel guilty about something-the spring water will seem dirty.
      I know his human seemed flirty when talking to the new alien in town. His name is David Letterman.(his sister is human)
      Anyway, I have tried tummy remedies and medication for his stomach and they help for a minute at the most. Any suggestions on what I should do?
      Quick question-has anyone have their aliens and aliens hybrid abducted by other aliens? It has become ridiculous!

      @applefeather2 Getting an illness has been introduced to the game as more common. Had me metaphorically scratching my head wondering about it... and literally scratching my head thinking about it. :p:D

      I did a search online. You now either let the illness pass in time, (with a small chance of getting worse), or:

      You can click on the Sim, click on a computer, then order medicine. The same way you order upgrade parts. Then when in the Sim's inventory, using the medicine will instantly cure the illness like Laudanum. :smirk:

      In my experience, it takes two bottles of medicine or three glasses of orange juice to cure an illness. I usually use the orange juice, since it's free.

      My Sims have been having the sick animations a lot lately, even when they don’t get a moodlet saying they’re sick.
      Ooh Be Gah!! Whipna Choba-Dog? Whipna Choba-Dog!! :smiley:

      There's another thread on the forum suggesting that sims are getting sick, or at least showing signs of illness, more often since the early December patch. Could be connected to that.

      I have seen that as well. I could find no bug report for it (doesn't mean there is none). I would click Me Too if I did.

      A sim got a "text" on their phone from a friend sim that they got the cold. Hmm

      You can get medicine from the sims computer, click "order" then "purchase medicine" it'll end up in their personal inventory. take the medicine and see if that helps. I like to stash them around the house for when another sim in the household eventually gets sick so I don't have to keep ordering it.

      I don't know what this is. Medicine doesn't cure it though, (I tried) just makes the Sim "dazed" and still coloured like paint hit them. :D
      It seems random and happening to any Sim.
