In The Sims 4, players cannot directly send their sick Sims to the hospital to be cured. Instead, they must rely on at-home remedies such as drinking orange juice or tea, or letting their sick Sims nap or sleep. While Sims can become sick, they won't require a trip to the hospital. The hospital building is tied to the interactive doctor career, and as such is only available for those who have the Get To Work expansion installed. If players wish to access the hospital, they can either accompany a Sim to work or send them to give birth.

What You'll Learn
The ''Get to Work' expansion pack is required to access the hospital
If you want to send your sick Sim to the hospital in The Sims 4, you will need to purchase and install the Get to Work expansion pack. The hospital building is tied to the interactive doctor career, and as such is only available for those who have the Get To Work expansion installed. The main purpose of the hospital lot is for Sims entering the active doctor career.
If you are playing the base game, the hospital is inaccessible, and Sims will just disappear briefly if they need to attend. However, with the expansion, the hospital is a building where pregnant Sims can choose to have their baby, and Sims in the doctor career can attend work.
To access the hospital, you can either accompany a Sim to work or send them to give birth. When they start work, you will get a pop-up screen and can choose to send your Sim alone or accompany them. Once inside the hospital, you can use cheats to edit the building to your liking.
It is important to note that even with the expansion, Sims cannot visit the hospital if they are sick. They will need to resort to at-home remedies such as drinking orange juice, tea, or taking medicine.

Sims can't visit the hospital if they're sick
In The Sims 4, players cannot take their sick Sims to the hospital to get treated. The hospital building is tied to the interactive doctor career, and as such is only available for those who have the Get to Work expansion installed. The main purpose of the hospital lot is for Sims entering the active doctor career.
If a Sim has fallen ill, players will have to treat them at home so they can quickly recuperate. There are various ways to treat an illness in The Sims 4. For example, Sims can drink orange juice by interacting with a refrigerator or any other container that allows them to grab cold Quick Meals, such as a cooler. They can then choose the option to 'Have a Quick Meal or Drink' and select Orange Juice. An alternative to orange juice is tea, which can be brewed if players purchase the Tea Magic Personal Brewer in Build Mode for 275 Simoleons. Another way to cure a Sim's illness is by letting them nap or sleep whenever possible.
If players want to access the hospital, they can do so by having a pregnant Sim give birth at the hospital. Players can select the Sim and choose the option "Have Baby at the Hospital". The game will then prompt the player to send their Sim alone or join them. Players can also access the hospital by having one of their Sims join the Doctor career.
It is worth noting that some players have expressed a desire for their sick Sims to be able to visit the hospital and buy medicine.

Pregnant Sims can give birth at the hospital
In The Sims, pregnancy is a game mechanic and multiple-day event that usually begins after a successful "Try for Baby" interaction between two Sims of the opposite sex. It ends with the pregnant female Sim giving birth to at least one newborn baby. Pregnancy brings about several physical and lifestyle changes to the pregnant Sim, including increasing body size, faster-decreasing motives, and forced maternity leave. Fathers-to-be can assist during pregnancies by massaging their partner's aching back, cooking for their cravings, and reading pregnancy books. To make the expectant mother happy during her pregnancy, try to fulfil her wishes and ensure she gets massages when she experiences back pain.
If you do not have the expansion pack, you can still download the Child Birth Mod, which allows for a variety of birthing options, including unassisted birth, emergency C-sections, and birth emergencies. With this mod, you can also trigger PPROM or Placental Rupture during the second or third trimester, which will send your Sim into labour immediately, prompting you to go to the hospital to have a C-Section.

Sims in the doctor career can work at the hospital
In The Sims 4, the hospital is tied to the interactive doctor career, and is only available for players who have the Get To Work expansion installed. Sims in the doctor career can work at the hospital, taking care of patients and performing simple diagnosis routines.
At the beginning of the doctor career, players will largely be taking care of patients, bringing them food, and performing simple diagnosis routines. Eventually, as players progress in their career, they will start treating patients themselves and even perform surgeries. To treat patients, players will need to refer them to a diagnosis room, perform a diagnosis, and then treat the patient with the correct treatment. Some illnesses will require inoculation, while others will require surgery.
As players advance in their career, they will unlock the ability to use the Surgery Machine, which can be used to treat emergencies. These emergencies will involve Sims walking into the hospital and collapsing on the floor, requiring immediate treatment with the Surgery Machine.
In addition to hospital work, doctors can also make house calls to follow up on patients. After calling the hospital, the doctor is assigned a random person to visit and perform treatment. House calls can be a great way to make extra money, but they can also be time-consuming.

Players can cure sick Sims with at-home remedies
Sickness in Sims can be a real nuisance, leaving your Sim uncomfortable and unable to complete tasks. While Sims can go to the hospital to cure sickness, players can also cure their Sims at home with some rest and relaxation.
Firstly, players should be aware of the symptoms of sickness in their Sims. Sims can experience dizziness, nausea, hives, and vomiting. They may also get spots on their skin or a "germy" moodlet. If your Sim has any of these symptoms, it's time to try some at-home remedies.
One of the simplest ways to cure a sick Sim is to let them rest. Click on any sofa or bed and have your Sim take a nap or sleep. Sleeping won't cure the sickness instantly, but it will reduce the duration of the symptoms. It is important to keep sick Sims away from healthy Sims to prevent the illness from spreading.
Another way to help your sick Sim is to give them tea or orange juice. These beverages can be prepared in the game and will help shorten the duration of negative moodlets related to the illness. Sims can also drink water to stay hydrated and aid in their recovery.
If players want a quicker solution, they can purchase medicine for their Sims. This can be done through a computer or phone in the game. The medicine will appear in the Sim's inventory, and they can take one dose to relieve all sickness symptoms immediately. However, medicine is the most expensive option among the at-home remedies.
By using these at-home remedies, players can cure their sick Sims without having to send them to the hospital. These methods will help reduce the duration of symptoms and get your Sims back to their healthy and happy selves.
