The game have to many strange things happening without a answer why and I know we are dealing with covid-19 which is a very stressful time for staff to even work. Like this mess why is my sims mother showing up at his house upset like he did something to her to make her upset to the point she threw punch in his face, I've learn to ignore a lot of stuff but this is just plain crazy.
The mood a guest is in when they arrive has nothing to do with their relationship to whom they are visiting. There is a social interaction (Try to calm down) you can perform with good effect. The same goes for other emotions a guest may have when arriving like sad (try to cheer up). I would advice against letting a guest remain angry unless your Sim is mean.
- LonaBoom4 years agoSeasoned Ace@jpkarlsen What I found that helps with angry sims is telling them to focus and it works and this also helps with sims who are sad or embarrassed but I didn't want to do that this time and she didn't show any signs of being angry and her husband was there but he left after his wife came into the house and she wasn't upset with him also.
After I locked her son and his cousin and his cousin wife in rooms in the house after she was trying to go for round 2 on her son, she got on the computer after trying to calm her self down in the mirror and that didn't work. It seem like the computer help after she finish chatting online. I just hate this but what can you do with computer characters who don't have a reason for why they do things.
I understand everything about the moods and have dealt with many in my game but I hate when one of my sims show up out of the blue standing outside the house on the lawn waiting for me to see them and finally invite them in and this is what happens. It's a issue that need to be fixed.
Normally I don't come on any of the sims forums anymore I just wait for staff to tell us what the new patch is and what changes have been made, but because it's becoming too much I felt I needed to share about what I'm dealing with in my game.- jpkarlsen4 years agoHero (Retired)
Since it has always worked liked that I'm sure this works as intended. Just like in real life you can't help what mood your guests arrive in you can just try to handle it (which is usually very simple like I wrote) or you can ask them to leave and with the resent change to how this works you can do so with no ill effects.
- LonaBoom4 years agoSeasoned Ace@jpkarlsen I've already done that focus too many times to the point it can become really draining , he didn't invite his mother over she just came over on her own which is not a issue. The anger upset mood swing from her is really strange and she continued to be upset until she got on the computer.
A gamer should not have to deal with handle it this way to fix the problem yourself, I would rather knowing why some of my sims are upset , sad or even bored.
Switching to their household show no issue with them, it's like a hidden mood swing that kick in for no reason, it's like my sims can't even invite their family and friends over for a simple house party to handle things normally without worry what mood swing is going to kick in.
Often I use groups to keep my sims under control but that shouldn't have to happen to keep sims acting right while in one room or using a happy game cheat before they enter the house.
Some show up pissed or bored and even sad for no reason.
