    Are you able to elaborate how? Ive tested this with a friend, spamming multiple interactions and ways to earn practically most of the playful moodiest and ive never been able to achieve the Hysterical State required without cheats.

    My Sim is in the Lovestruck career and was in a park with friends telling jokes and giving romantic advice. Back at home, watching the Reality Dating Channel while joking with his brother killed him.

    PS: If you have multiple Sims in your household, give one of them great-storyteller trait and tell impertinent stories. If your Sim is in playful mood, let him do the laser game with a cat.

  • These should still be possible. Embarrassment was made harder though.

    If you want a easy death by laughter, follow these steps:

    • Gather 200 Satisfaction Points.
    • Buy a Potion of Happiness from the Rewards store.
    • Get your sim into the Playful emotion.
    • Drink the Potion of Happiness.

    So yeah, you need to collect 15 Playful emotion points, with Happy moodlets helping towards it also. Looking at the picture, I'm assuming you collected 7 Playful points there. You need 8 points to advance to Very Playful and 15 points to be Hysterical. Potion of Happiness gives you 100 point happy moodlet, which instantly makes your sim Hysterical.

    Once your sim is in that state, each time they do that special Hysterical idle animation, there's a chance that they die.

    Teens and sims with Cringe trait are immune to this death.

  • I have the same problem with enraged moodlet. I tried both cheating and making my sim angry through actions and angry drawings, etc.

    She remained in enraged state for hours until her angry moodlets disappeared and she became happy and confident again.

    Also, the confident emotion is very interruptin. Especially if you want to kill a sim by anger. If your sim is a sim you raised and they were a confident kid... good luck with killing them by anger. Theyre constantly JUST confident. Its really not good especially since it's very easy for child sims to become confident adults.
