Emotions and Items/Actions That Influence Them
« on: September 26, 2014, 08:53:22 PM »
This is a compiled list of items, actions, and situations that influence emotions. This list was originally started by Andeleisha and a lot of the community contributed to it. I have started the new list to keep it up to date.  If you have any additions please post and I will add them to the list as soon as possible. I will also be adding the addition of information for each emotional state and trying to categorize more as needed.


Quick Emotion List




The Sims 4 is an emotionally based game. Emotions have an affect on job performance, wishes, and general interactions. ArthurHeng made a great post on the basics of how emotions work so I would recommend checking there if you need more info on how the emotion system works.







This list has been updated till this post

Angry
« Reply #1 on: September 26, 2014, 08:54:01 PM »
Angry
This is generally referred to as a negative emotion although Sims going for the "Public Enemy Aspiration" will consider this a good place to be. Normally it is caused by negative conversations/interactions with other Sims. Sims with the Hot-Headed trait generally become angry more than other Sims. Like with most emotions there are unique things that you can do while Angry such as creating an Angry Painting and having an Angry Workout. It also seems that you can gain Mischief skills through anger actions as well.

Actions
-Declaring Enemy


Situations
-Yelled At (being yelled at and insulted)
-Being Around Children (if you have Hates Children trait)
-Flarn (random from insane trait) / +1 3hrs
-Having a bad day at work


Items
-Angry Painting (Good) / +1
-Angry Painting (Excellent) / +1
-Angry Painting (Masterpiece) / +2


Ways to Reduce
-Tea Magic Personal Brewer / Calming Chamomile
-Cold Shower

Happy

Happy
Although being Happy is a mood it works differently than most as it's job (for the most part) is to boost whatever positive mood you have or act as a general mood. Happy can over power negative emotions in the game as well by being more Happy than you are Sad will make Happy your active mood. It is affected by a lot of things that your Sims does daily, the environment your Sim is in, and just general needs being met.
