I don't recall the emotions ever showing up over Sims, so either it's just something that's never shown up whether intentionally or not, or it's been a bug for a while. Though it would make sense for the text to be prioritised on pet Sims, since without mods, they're unselectable.
Hi! I'm SimmerStar4 (they/them). I'm not an expert on game issues, so don't take me as one! I'm just a Sims player who wants to try and help fellow players, and who finds game bugs and issues interesting.
An empty space under the Sim's name suggests that something should be there.
Could you please check if animals in your game have colorful emotion name or is always the same color?
