Private Clinic - Psychiatry

18 August: This mod has been updated. Please refer to this post for more information before downloading.

Ever want to do something to help all the messed up Sims in your town? With this mod, your Sim can run a private clinic as a therapist.

You can join the Psychiatry career, buy a Therapist couch and start treating patients for all their emotional and mental maladies. Using a clinic controller object, patients will be pushed to your clinic lot in need of treatment. Active patients can be identified by the orange and white symbol over their head (pictured above).

This is the first part of a larger game mod that allows Sims to be more active doctors similar to what we have in TS4 Get to Work. Your Sim will be able to run a clinic out of their house or from a commercial lot and treat patients for different ailments. Eventually you'll be able to play as a Psychiatrist, Optometrist, Ob-GyM, or a General Physician.

This mod also adds two additional features:

Medicine - Sims can buy prescription or over-the-counter medicine to treat various mild ailments. Medicines can be purchased at the grocery store (Home section) or Buy catalog. There is also a collection file where you can find all available objects. Prescription medicine can only be obtained at the grocery store or hospital with a prescription.

Drug Addiction - Sims can get addicted to the prescription medicine if they overuse it. This can lead to withdrawal symptoms and potential overdose. There is an option to go to rehab at the hospital for Sims that need the help to kick the habit.

You need NRaas Careers (for the custom career), University, Island Paradise, Ambitions EPs.

Download instructions:

The Private Clinic main module has all the medicines, the clinic controller and addiction system. You need that to play as a Therapist but if you just want the medicines, you only need to download these files. Note that you cannot write prescriptions or do anything doctor related without downloading the Psychiatry module. Download here

There is also a collection file which has all the available objects

The Psychiatry module is required to play as a therapist. The career is optional but some features won't be available without it. Download here

There are documentation files in both folders that go through the features in detail so PLEASE READ through them before downloading.

Credits/Thanks: All the objects except for the Couch which is EA's are from @aroundthesims so thanks as always to Sandy for her wonderful stuff and generous use policy. Buff images are courtesy of Freepik. Thanks to everyone on the S3 Creators Discord that did early testing for the mod, especially @misspats3 who tests like it's her job with photos, videos, detailed notes. 👌 Also to Battery who helped me with the manager system.

As always if you have any issues (resets, missing strings, etc.) please let me know.

Hi students and staff, this is a daily check-in! How's everyone feeling today? Remember, don't blot, just talk!

Bitch, YOU'RE the reason your son overblotted. Do you have any idea how much work dealing with that was?

I would like to address the recent slander of my good name.

It is utterly ridiculous that there are rumors going around about me having a court date or being an abusive mother

It's even worse that I am no longer allowed to step foot on my precious son's campus to check in on him.

I've only been able to see my baby boy if I sneak past all of the teachers and janitors so that I won't be roughly tossed out the gates like some trespasser.

How cruel is that? A mother being separated from her own son! It's despicable.

I love this psychiatry mod so much, thank you for making this! (I'm looking forward to the other modules as well). Of course, I have questions - will this cure Midlife Crisis like the hospital rabbithole? Is there any chance to set an inactive/role sim as the psych and get my active family cured of their problems? Thanks for all your work!

Hi and thanks! I know that having a midlife crisis is one of the things the mod will look out for in patients but I don't think it cures it (would have to check) but that's probably a good idea to do after a couple of sessions. Noted for the next update!

As for inactive therapists, yes, you can have a session with an inactive Sim therapist so long as they are assigned to the couch and are on the lot. In the next Private Clinic update, you'll be able to set up appointments which will push inactive doctors to the clinic lot to treat you at whatever time you set up your doctor's appointment. However, only sims in playable households can be doctors so no role sims or NPCs.

Totally inspired by @phoebejaysims's exciting-looking Club Mod, I decided to try my hand at a custom UI for the clinic patient files. It was kind of a pain and things probably would have gone faster if I hadn't had two cocktails while modding 😅but I'm generally pleased with the result.

I definitely want to make some more customizations in the future but I'll leave it as is for now until I work on the GP module and become more familiar with editing LAYO files.

HELLO HUMAN, I'VE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE TALENTS IN HELPING PEOPLE GET ALONG.

I'VE UNFORTUNATELY ENCOUNTERED A GROUP OF MISCREANTS WHO HAVE BEEN SLANDERING THE GOOD NAME OF PRINCE MALLEUS DRACONIA RIGHTFUL HEIR TO THE THRONE OF BRIAR VALLEY.

SOME OF THESE BEFOULERS HAVE BEEN FOUND CONGREGATING ON THE FORUM SITE REDDIT. HOW DO I MAKE THEM SEE THAT THEY'RE WRONG ABOUT HIS HIGHNESS ?

- LOYAL RETAINER ⚡

Hello! I'm glad to see you're seeking assistance with this issue. Remember, don't blot, talk!

Malleus Draconia is a very powerful mage and has no reason be slandered! He's one of the 5 most powerful in the world, actually! But hey, hang in there, I'm sure those guys'll see. But if you wanna get 'em that bad, you could always make an r/malleusdraconiasnarkcirclejerk! The guy's got fans, so you're sure to find fellow members in your circle jerk sub making fun of literally anything and everything those guys post!

Hope you can prove them wrong, and remembe, don't blot, just talk!

"Hey, Malleus?"

"Hmm?"

"Could you do one of those, uh, 'grand displays of power'?"

"Why, child of man? Has something happened?"

"Nothing, nothing."

[olomaya]

Ugh, looking at everyone else's Tumblr stories makes me want to play/mod so bad but I need to do my taxes! 😫 I don't even live in the US anymore! #whyme #justtakewhateverIoweyou #IRSincollusionwithtaxpreparationcompanies

Regardless, I will definitely finish the Therapist/Psychiatry module for the Private Clinic mod this month. That is my goal. 💪🏽

Cupcake? (They hold up a cupcake)

Sure, thanks! You know, I should probably start offering cupcakes too.

[nightraventherapy]

not a vent, just wanted to say hi since I'm a student doubling as a therapist in nrc lol

Good luck, trust me you'll need it

if YOU ever need to vent to someone (which, let's be honest, you will with all the stuff happening here), I'm here for you :)

-@nrc-therapist

Hello fellow therapist! Manifesting no overblot for you right noww. If anyone's got a reason to overblot, it's you - you're carrying this school.

Thank you for the offer my compatriot, I will be sure to keep it in mind (I get the feeling I'll need to take it)

[nightraventherapy]

no one: literally all the students who've overblotted aswell as other NRC kids: IF YOU FEEL DEPRESSED AND MISUNDERSTOOD WATCHA GONNA DO?? REPRESS IT!! IF YOU WANNA CONFRONT YOUR CHILDHOOD ARE YOU READY FOR A BREAKTHROUGH?? NO REPRESS IT!! (good choice) im too apathetic to book myself therapy- contradicting how much i complain about my life- i push all my problems down until they go away- one day i'll EXPLODE- REPRESSING MAKES ME FEEL- nothing, im fine, i don't need therapy, im good Yuu: guys- you just sung an entire song about it- well this is- you're attacking me by asking that, so im not going to therapy because you brought it up . . . yeah

Thank you! Remember, don't blot, just talk!

...Is this based off of an actual song? Idk man I have limited pop culture knowledge (too busy with therapy sessions)

But yeah, STOP REPRESSING YOUR EMOTIONS GUYS YOU CAN LITERALLY ASK ON ANON PLEASE JUST TALK DON'T BLOT IT'S OUT CATCHPHRASE FOR A REASON-

Ignihyde has been having lots of issues lately. Namely one of us has been kidnapped by Rook Hunt from Pomefiore.

Also our second floor has lost all power including heating and Idia has not been helping them with that so a few of us have broken down crying which is an introverts nightmare plus we may or may not be lacking food at the moment, but hopefully that is fixed soon since someone told Housewarden Vil about that.

Other than that, we are doing great ☺️

Thank you for sharing! Remember, don't blot, just talk!

...Therapy. Now. I'll- uh, see what I can do.

"Rook, what the actual fuck?"

"The spirit of beauté, Mon ami."

"Please stop. This is a crime."

~~~~

"Idia Shroud, get off your ass and do your job as a housewarden!"

"E-Eep! How'd a normie like you get in here?"

"Ortho let me in. Now, do your job and help the second floor, or I swear-"

"I'm not leaving my room no matter what the normies say. Furina rerun just came out and I couldn't C6 her last time. I can't miss best girl's rerun."

"...You know what? I'll just fix it myself. A-and Furina isn't best girl, Ganyu is."

"You're playing with fire, normie."

[nightraventherapy]

I love Rook is that concerning 😇 -🗝 anon (*traumatizing both nrc therapists now)

Do you, now? Don't worry, it's never too late to seek help! This is meant to support everyone, no matter how bad their issues are 🥰!

The awakening of my Unique Magic, which I am not comfortable speaking of, resulted in lasting negative effects on my mental wellbeing.

But, I keep finding myself in Situations where it would be beneficial to the people around me to use it. However, I know that using it would cause me a lot of emotional distress, especially if I don’t have anything (or anyone) to keep me from spiraling.

What should I do?

-🪞

Thank you for choosing talk over blot, especially in this situation!

It seems like your Unique Magic's gotta take a backseat. It may be helpful in the short term, but please please please know it leads to rapid blot development! It's likely you have a Unique Magic that's meant to be forbidden, like Housewarden Ashengrotto 'It's A Deal'.

I recommend talking to a teacher about methods to get your magic under control, and in the meantime, rest, eat, and don't repress your emotions! Remember, talk, don't blot!

"You've finally gained some professionalism, I see."

"Please, Headmage, you're the last person to talk about being unprofessional."

[nightraventherapy]

Azul stole my voice 😕

Saddd </3 I hope he gives it back! In the meantime, try writing our whatever you wanna say!

"Give that kid's voice back. I can't have him overblotting."

"I'm afraid I'll have to deny your request, my dear, sweet soul."

"It's not a request."

"Hmm?"

"Remember that photo, Azul? The one at the museum?"

"...Fine. don't believe I'm happy about this for one second."

"Awesome."

[nightraventherapy]

I (17M) got stuck in the worst group ever in Alchemy. None of them do any work, and I am two seconds away from snapping. Please, send help. And if you guys are reading this, you know who you are. DO YOUR JOBS AND WORK ON THE REPORT OR I SWEAR TO GOD-

Thank you for venting and not resorting to solutions such as beheading your groupmates or cursing them so they're stuck on the floor! Please consider talking to the professor, and if that doesn't work, just give it to me. Please. If it lowers the chance that you overblot, I'll gladly help you.

"I will not stand for this slander. Collaring students for such blatant misdeeds is entirely reasonable!"

"My curse was the best way to make the potatoes learn their lesson."

"Riddle, I wasn't going to mention your name before, but now I will."
