Private Practice - Stable Release 0.4.1

And finally, a stable release! I'm sure my Backers are just super excited to FINALLY get the very first version of this mod. You will have it for a week before this post is released to the public. Please feel free to report errors on the Discord Server Channel-> #private-practice. 

For my Backers and up, you don't have to download this version if you already had it installed. The only updates included, is the addition of French and Chinese strings in preparation for the public release.

Here is a summary of the features included in this version (please remember that this is just the first version of this mod and more features will be added as time goes on):

Health Check-Up: Now your sims will want to look after their health. When your sim goes to a Health Check-Up Appointment, you might learn about problems with their fitness or their blood pressure. You'll be told what lifestyle changes your sim could make to improve them, and what factors are making them more at risk.  Following the doctor's advice might be something you want to do because if left unchecked these health issues could lead to earlier natural death.  

Details on health issues: 

- Blood Pressure: a new health data feature that is being tracked with this mod. It can be affected by a Sim's age, traits, and fitness, and can fluctuate with their mood, energy levels, and hydration. 

- Weight: also a new health data feature that tracks the fitness and fat of your Sim. Being overweight or underweight will make your sims get tired a little faster, and need a little more sleep to be rested. 

- Being overweight/underweight or having high/low blood pressure, can result in a higher risk of further problems with your Sim's health. Their lifespan is being subtly reduced for every moment they spend with these health issues. 

- On the other hand, good fitness can extend your sim's lifespan.  

Details on health checkups: 

- The only way to tell if your sim has any of these health issues is to attend a health checkup. A health checkup costs §150 and lasts 1-2 hours, and at the end, your sim will be given a health report. (If your Sim should go when they should actually be a work, the system will put them on a sort of Sick leave until they come back home)

- To go to a health checkup, use your Sim's phone, open the 'Travel' category, and choose 'Private Practice'. 

- From the Private Practice menu you can also view the health report from your sim's last health checkup. 

- A health report displays your sim's fitness and blood pressure status at the time of the checkup. Click on or hover your cursor over each of the results to read more information on what causes might be contributing to that issue, and what your sim can do to improve it.
