I've had the vector mod forever, with the Goofy and Minor add ons. No sim has ever been afflicted, to my knowledge.
What is the deal with that? Do all the stars have to line up right or what?
Vector Vector- No afflictions... doctors living off baloney sandwiches.

Unm, did you switch it on by any chance?
On City Hall, NRaas > Vector > Diseases > (name of disease) > Enabled > True
If you want to start an outbreak instead of waiting for some random Patient Zero to be selected,
NRaas > Vector > Outbreaks > Start Outbreak
Sometimes an "outbreak" starts, but the patient zero happens by chance to be a sim who never associates with anyone. The diseases can't spread that way. You can start a new outbreak if this has happened or increase the number of patient zeros from the same menu.
Although I know you are anxious to get the diseases rolling (yeesh, this sounds awful), I would advise against starting more than one or two outbreaks at the same time. As the diseases take hold and spread, too much vector activity can be a drag on game performance. It's also not much fun when our own sims contract more than one disease at the same time, unless you like a real challenge.

Once a sim has recovered from a disease, except of course for the incurable ones, they remain immune to it until an advanced strain comes along that cuts through their immunity. So if it seems like everyone in the world has come down with Strains 2, 3, or 4 of simfluenza, for example, and they recover, that's not likely to happen again until strains 7, 8, and 9 or something like that comes along (I forget how the actual numbers work by default, it's probably different for each disease). Guess I should have also said not to enable a whole bunch of diseases at once, so as also to avoid too many simultaneous outbreaks.
