Active Career Days
As previously mentioned, active career days as a Naturopath differ from previous careers such as Doctor, Detective, and Scientist, since your Sims will be taking clients at home. Sims with various ailments will arrive, get checked out, and hopefully cured by your Sims. Taking clients at home is unlocked at Level 2 of the career. Let’s take a look at an active work day!
Your Naturopath Sim will need to start by inviting the ailed Sim into their home. As with previous careers and events, a checklist will appear in the top left with each goal needed to complete the workday. Your first job will be to ‘Conduct Client Intake’ and ‘Holistically Examine’. The client will then tell your Sim about their ailment which will give you a clue as to which ailment they are suffering from.
You will be given a variety of assessments to perform on the client until you have run out of options. Keep an eye on the client’s mood and its effects on their environment. Clients with the Greenie Meanie ailment may smash your house plants, while Sims with Sonic Sinuses will cause plumbing and electronics to break. You can check out our Apothecary Guide for a list of all ailments and cures.
Once you think you have identified the ailment, click ‘Identify Root Cause’ and choose which one you believe to be true. The next step is the most important: curing clients! To cure a client, you must craft the required cure at the apothecary table. Once the cure is complete, select the client and choose ‘Give Cure’. If a Sim’s ailment is not curable with an elixir (or you don’t want to spend money on ingredients), try using ‘Provide Emotional Regulation’.
Your daily pay for seeing clients will depend on the number of tasks you complete. While it may be more profitable to choose to go to work, seeing clients is a great way to boost skills and work towards your Sims’ next promotion.
Daily Tasks And Promotion Tasks
As with every other in-game career, the Naturopath career includes a set of daily tasks that your Sim can complete to earn a promotion. If your Sim is level 1-5 of the career, they can ‘Study Holistic Care’ on the computer for a boost in performance.
They will also be required to gain at least 1 more level in both the Natural Living and Apothecary skills.
Naturopath Sims in the Apothe-Curist path will be tasked daily with ‘Studying Apothecary Cures’ and will be required to level up their Apothecary and Gardening skills for the chance at a promotion.
Sims in the Lifestyle Coaching branch will spend their spare time being given the task ‘Research The Wilds’. Their promotion depends on levelling up both the Natural Living and Fitness skills.
When not climbing the career ladder, Naturopaths have a number of new interactions they can perform on other Sims, including revitalising their needs!
