Sim – Emotion


There are 16 different emotions in The Sims 4. Each one affects how your Sims live their lives in some way. For example, Sims will build certain skills much faster while they are in an emotional state suited to that skill. On the other hand, they’ll build skills much more slowly when in a negative emotional state.

Here are the 16 emotions in The Sims 4:

  • Angry: Sims who are angry are more likely to be aggressive and destructive. They may also be more likely to start fights.
  • Awkward: Sims who are awkward are more likely to say or do the wrong thing. They may also be more likely to be embarrassed.
  • Confident: Sims who are confident are more likely to be successful in their endeavors. They may also be more likely to take risks.
  • Curious: Sims who are curious are more likely to learn new things. They may also be more likely to explore their surroundings.
  • Embarrassed: Sims who are embarrassed are more likely to feel self-conscious and shy. They may also be more likely to avoid social situations.
  • Energized: Sims who are energized are more likely to be active and productive. They may also be more likely to stay up late.
  • Focused: Sims who are focused are more likely to be successful in their endeavors. They may also be more likely to ignore distractions.
  • Flirty: Sims who are flirty are more likely to be attracted to other Sims. They may also be more likely to initiate romantic interactions.

Emotions can be influenced by a variety of factors, including:

  • Moodlets: Moodlets are temporary states that affect your Sim’s emotions. They can be positive or negative, and they can be caused by a variety of things, such as eating a delicious meal, getting a promotion at work, or getting into a fight with a friend.
  • Traits: Your Sim’s traits can also affect their emotions. For example, a Sim with the Creative trait is more likely to be inspired, while a Sim with the Gloomy trait is more likely to be sad.
  • Life Events: Major life events, such as getting married, having a child, or getting fired, can also have a significant impact on your Sim’s emotions.

You can use emotions to your advantage by trying to keep your Sim in a positive emotional state. This will make them more likely to be successful in their endeavors and to have a better overall life.
