Tip: If your hired veterinarian treats a patient when your owner sim is on the lot, then the owner will have to “Bill Patient” before they can leave (They’ll have a Simolean sign above their heads). The sick critters tend to make messes, so there is plenty of cleaning up to do! You can order NPC employees to craft medicine for you, or just clean up around the clinic. You can, however, prevent employees from seeing patients through the management options, which is good for a control freak like me. This is not mandatory – your playable sims can do everything – but when the clinic gets busier it may be the only way your Sims can keep up!Īll employees are “Veterinarians”. Once you have your clinic, you can hire some employees.
If you’re having trouble getting an NPC vet to see patients, try moving the table around! I ended up moving the exam table up into the top right corner of the room it is in so that it had four spaces in front of it and six off to the left side of the side the vet stands on, and that seemed to work with an NPC vet. In the clinic pictured above, the exam table does not work with an NPC vet. The vet needs some room around it – more than I originally thought.

I got it even lower than that, but I had to give up the surgery station and the medicine crafting table. The two pre-made clinics, are not cheap to buy – approximately 70k and 86k simoleans, but you can make your own! I managed to build a small no-frills clinic for just under §20,000. Owning a vet clinic can be pricey, though. Your Sims can also be the ones treating animals! There are two pre-made vet clinics available, Brindleton Pawspital, which is placed in Brindleton Bay, and the Country Clinic, which is in the Gallery. This can be reversed, although it will take another surgery. If your Sim’s pet is not sick, you can still take them to the vet for a checkup! You can either get a preventive shot for §200, or, if the vet clinic has a surgery station, you can have your pet spayed or neutered. The expensive treatment set my Sim back §750 Simoleans, though, so sometimes the Cone is the way to go.
