Constant Anger or Sad Moodlet
I have not played Sims 4 in several years, however, I have kept it up to date and added new games despite not playing as I enjoy the game. Recently, I have started playing more and enjoy the new aspe...

@cchb87 Mods shouldn't be the solution for a game design problem with the base game. I am hoping that Sims team are listening to feedback about Wants & Fears because there are more than a few problems with the new system. Yes, Fear of Unfulfilled Dreams is primarily responsible for the +2 Sad and +5 Angry moodlets. Sims team needs to look back at this and make improvements.
@sirdayne , not to mention a lot of people who play The Sims 4 are playing on a console and therefore can't use Mods to fix these issues! 😭
I choose not to use Mods, but that is my choice, and if I don't like it at least I know I can change it at any time! 😅 But console players have no choice, and therefore rely on the fixes that are given to us in patches to fix problems in the game.
I've had this issue for close on 2 years now I think. For me it's the Sadness Moodlets. I've reported them on here a few times and I'm on Console so no mods to mitigate the effects of the problem. I've also never used cheats but these days am sorely tempted.
It affects gameplay so badly because Sims slow down and trudge about sadly and totally without cause. CoL made it much worse. I love the vacations but my adventurous Sims get the Homesick Moodlet as soon as they extend a holiday and it sticks, it says it lasts for 4 hours but it starts again when the 4 hours are up and even lasts for up to a day after they return home. They get the Missing Furry Friends Moodlet when with said furry friends. I mean, if that rabbit could speak it would say "dude, you're getting a bit needy". The holidays cause a real problem as they don't complete when they should and my Sims get another Sadness Moodlet for that. They get another one for being near an evil Sim when they're not...I feel like cute little toddlers set that off so that's a tad worrying! I do adopt them but I always check they're not evil before I allow them through the gate.
The worst Anger Moodlet for me was from the phonecall about an inheritance, that one lasts for 7 days of pure rage. I've got a rubbish memory thanks to pain meds and I have to try and remember to give the right answer so that doesn't happen again! I keep a Notes app on my mobile so I can jot these tips down lol. I shouldn't be stressed to bits when my Sim gets a phonecall!
It wasn't caused by Wants and Fears but I can't speak to whether that addition made it worse... because that patch broke my game. So I've been waiting for Console crashes to be addressed before I can play again.
So you know when you're having tech issues and you've also got a depressed and weeping Sim...ah, fun times!
@simsplayer818 , that makes sense! Only Gloomy Sims should be that sad all the time! Same for Hot-Headed and being angry a lot! We want our Sims to make sense! (Unless they are Erratic, but then again that would make sense for them! 😅 )
I haven't been on vacation with my Sims in a while... I need to try it out again and see what I get🤨!- @PugLove888 yes and these are all cheerful Sims because I make them all cheerful to try and mitigate the problem. It just wouldn't make sense for a cheerful and adventurous Sim completing stages of a vacation themed aspiration to be so depressed because their vacation was extended. Or for a cheerful, animal loving Sim to be virtually weeping and pining for the pets he's surrounded by lol.
It does my nut in, it really does lol.
