It might just be me, but I've been noticing the "Brighten Day" interaction showing up only when my Sim is "Happy." It doesn't show up if they are any other emotion, be it positive or negative.
For me, this change in behavior seemed to start more around the time of the Positivity Challenge back in October/November of 2018.

Issue still seems to be around.
Certain Social Interactions have two ways of being unlocked.
Either temporary through being in the proper emotion, here's two examples:
Brighten Day for Happy
Slap 'em Silly for Playful
If the Sim is is those emotions, they can perform those interactions, but if they don't have the proper skill level, they lose the ability to use those interactions until they get back in the proper mood.
That's how it's supposed to work.
Now for Brighten Day, this interaction is supposed to be permanently unlocked at Charisma Level 2, but as it is now, even Sims with Charisma level 10 still need to be in the Happy mood to use Brighten Day.
Slap 'em Silly seems to be working properly.
My Sim could temporarily use this Mischief interaction at low Mischief levels as long as their mood is of the Playful-type.
But they permanently unlocked this interaction at Level 9 Mischief, which lets them use it in other moods, which is how Brighten Day should function.
Sad to say, Brighten Day is still broken, and it's not properly unlocking for all moods at Level 2+ Charisma.
