Of the three, "Hysterical" is the weirdest one in that is the extreme of a positive emotion "playful"
I recently had this happen... Beware! When a Sim gets Hysterical, it's probably already too late to save him/her.
My Sim keeled over less than a few Sim minutes later. Hit "Hysterical" and they're one chuckle away from death. I "told" her to "calm self down" in the mirror but she disobeyed, choosing to yuck it up some more instead. In all these emotional extremes, they pretty much are out of control.
Fortunately she was spared via a successful plead to the reaper.
