How to go to the hospital in The Sims 4

It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now

There are plenty of community lots to visit if your Sims want to go out in The Sims 4.♌ Depending on which expansions♋ you own, there are nightclubs, libraries, parks, and anything else you can think of.

There’s one location that’s easy to stump even veteran players on how to get to, and that’s the hospital included in Get To Work. Where is the hospital, and how do your Sims visit if they need a doctor? We’re here to�༺� show you how.

Where to find the hospital in The Sims 4

There are only two ways your sims can visit a hospital in The Sims 4: they must either be in labor or work as a doctor. Sadly, the hospital is not a visitable lot you can choose from in the Magnolia Promenade world. You can’t even choose to viಞsit it when youಞr Sim gets sick.

If your Sim works in the doctor career, they’ll go to the hospital as their designated place of work, just like the lab for the science career track and the police station for the detective career track. If you follow your Sims to work that day, you’ll go with them to the hospital to help themﷺ perform thei🌃r daily tasks.

Your Sim can still visit the hospital even if ꦏthey don’t work there. However, the only way the option will come up is if they are in the final stage of pregnancy, go into labor, and choose to have the baby at the hospital. When y൲our pregnant Sim begins labor, click on them, and you can choose where you want to have the baby and who you want to bring with you.

Your Sims will be transpoꦇrted directly to the only hospital in the game.

How to edit the hospital lot in The Sims 4

Once you’re at the hospital, you’ll find that, unlike other community lots, you can’t edit it in Build or Buy Mode. To edit the lot, bring up the cheat console by hitting Shift + Ctrl + C, type ‘testingcheats on’, hit enter, and then type ‘bb.enablefreebuild’. It’s one of the best cheats for The Sims 4.

Now, you can switch from Live Mode to Build 💞or Buy and edit the hospital to your heart’s content. 

However, be aware that cert𒀰ain items are needed for the hospital to function properly during your career. Don’t delete any of the medical equipment or front desk, or if you do delete them, make sure🃏 to replace them.

Unfortunately, you cannot set 🦩a lot type as hospital when building on other lots, so you’re stuck with the one in the game already. This hospital is the only one the game will recognize, so don’t make it into another lot type, either.
