Private Practice is an in-depth healthcare overhaul mod that enables you to build and operate fully functional medical clinics. Sims can schedule appointments, go through diagnostics, receive treatments, and manage their health more holistically—all within the game world instead of relying on rabbit-hole visits or generic interactions.
Key requirements:
- You must have the Get to Work expansion, as medical appointments use the public clinic system.
- Create a clinic by placing a non-residential lot with the Private Practice lot trait and equipping it with items like check-in kiosks, pharmacy cabinets, exam beds, and more.
Features & Simulation Depth
Realistic Appointment Mechanics
Sims can schedule and attend check-ups or sick visits via the MyHealthPortal on their phone. You can choose to accompany them or let them go on their own.
Clinic Workflows
Visits include steps like check-in, sample collection (e.g., urine tests), wellness scans (blood pressure, weight), diagnostics, and checkout. Symptoms and results are communicated through in-game systems.
Illness & Allergy System
The mod adds a variety of health conditions like colds, flu, infections (ear, sinus, strep), norovirus, and mononucleosis. Allergies—such as grass or pollen-based—are tied to specific game worlds and have realistic seasonal impacts.
Medications & Remedies
Sims can obtain medication via in-game means: using the capsule kiosk (pharmacy-like), custom medicine cabinets, pillboxes, or home remedies. There's even a cheat to make visits free, while standard working Sims receive checkups for free and sick visits at discounted rates. A herd immunity system lets NPCs build resistance over time.
Herd Immunity & Disease Management
Sims exposed to illnesses gradually become less likely to reinfect others, adding a layer of community health realism.
Cheats & Debug Options
Features include enabling “disease-fighting Sims” (auto-immune heroes), toggling free healthcare, and various debug tools to artificially treat or diagnose a Sim.
Community Feedback
- Players appreciate the hands-on, immersive hospital experience.
- “The Private Practice Mod is immersive… but for big families, managing all that was too much.”
- However, some users found the frequency of sickness overwhelming. Reports cite Sims getting sick repeatedly.
- Others experienced appointment access issues—such as clinics not appearing in menus or Sims being unable to check in. Ensuring the lot has the correct trait and necessary objects often fixes these glitches.
