How to make emotions more meaningful
So I think we can all agree that the emotions system is really underwhelming, I've just been thinking if the sims team ever did a massive overhaul of them what they could do. Here's maybe some ideas t...

I would like an emotion update but only a very minor one. I wouldn't want it to change how it is much.
I also don't want a scared emotion, the paranoid trait does that well enough but sims are already scared of thunderstorms (most of them ) and it's really annoying how over the top it's done. If they could tie it to a trait or make it optional to turn on a fear for some sims of some things then maybe, but def. with a toggle off
I would like to see a bit more added if you give your sim an emotional trait. Cheerful sims a bit stronger happy buff, gloomy ones a bit stronger sad one, but that's it.
And then the other thing I wouldn't mind updated was mourning emotion. Being in mourning for the same amount of time when your child dies as when the person who served you a hotdog at a food stand dies is quite bizarre.
Mourning should also be removed for infants and tots unless its a parent/sibling that lived in the same household that dies (and even then still removed from infants. They are too young to mourn, we can't do anything to click the buff off since we can't see what's causing it to cheat it off even but it's super annoying every time someone dies and the infant gets the eternal sad buff that lasts until the day they age up (and often a day past but at least once they become toddler we can cheat the last day of the mourning off haha)
