Private Practice 0.4.0 - Beta

Without further ado, I present to you the very first version of Private Practice in Beta. If you are at the Director level, no changes have been made since no errors have been reported. This means you DO NOT need to re-download this mod. This post is mostly for my people who are at the Beta-Tester to Visionary tiers. The most patient people in the world ;-) 

Please remember that this is the first version of the mod and will be expanded upon as directed by the directors. You will have it for a week to test against your other mods and to play with abandon. 

To ALL, please post any errors that you have, going forward, on our Discord channel -> #beta-test-lab. This keeps everything controlled and under-wrap before the pre-release and then actual release. 

Private Practice (Ver. 0.4.0) Features:

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.
