Feeling under the weather in The Sims 4? Dealing with the dreaded scratchy illness? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Follow these simple in-game remedies to get your Sims back on their feet and feeling better in no time!
Why Are My Sims Scratching Themselves?
In The Sims 4, the “scratchy illness” is a common symptom that can affect your Sims from time to time. Your Sim will keep scratching their stomach, chest, and thighs.
There are three illnesses that may cause itchiness: Itchy Plumbob, Sweaty Shivers, and Triple Threat.
These illnesses come with the Get to Work pack. If you don’t have this pack, the itchiness is caused by something else.
Your Sim may feel scratchy from a clothing item or after coming into contact with the Poison Fireleaf.
How Do I Cure the Scratchy Illness in The Sims 4?
The fastest way to cure the scratchy illness in The Sims 4 is to give your sick Sims medicine. You can buy medicine on the computer.
Alternatively, if you want to make your Sim stop scratching themselves, have them undergo surgery.
This method works if they’re suffering from the Itchy Plumbob or Triple Threat illnesses.
If you prefer using home remedies, have them drink tea and orange juice and take a quick nap.
Natural remedies have a slower healing time compared to medicine and surgery.
How to Cure the Itchiness Caused by the Poison Fireleaf
If your Sim is itchy after coming into contact with the Poison Fireleaf, send them to take a mud bath to cure the itchiness.
The itch will clear up and go away shortly after they soak into the mud bath.
The mud bath is the fastest way to relieve the effects of the Poison Fireleaf.
The Milk, Honey, and Oatmeal soak, and the Skin Soothing Balm Herbalism lotion work too.
How to Cure the Itchiness Caused by a Clothing Item
If your Sim is scratchy from a clothing item, change their outfit. The itchiness is usually due to the clothes not getting clean enough from the Laundry Day stuff pack.
Conclusion
Choose medicine or surgery for scratchy Sims, or try tea and naps for a natural cure. Prevent itchiness by avoiding Poison Fireleaf and keeping clothes clean to keep your Sims healthy and happy.
Happy Simming!
