How do I make a happy sim angry?

A couple of things I know that help with getting a sim angry, would be a potion that is created in the Science Career, and the Angry Emotion paintings. The Hot-Headed trait will cause a sim to become angry from time to time.

First thing you want to do is get rid of any and ALL happy (and other positive) moodlets. Don't eat good food, don't do laundry, get somewhere without nice decorations, etc.; you want your sim in a neutral mood to start if you want to get angry easily. Mousing over each moodlet tells you what it is from, so avoid all those things you are doing that is making your sim in a good mood for a few hours.

Once you have gotten rid of all (or at least most) positive moodlets, get another sim to join yours and do a lot of mean interactions with them, get in a fight with them, declare them an enemy. I'd suggest that you find a sim yours has not yet made friends with and do a rude introduction to start, then start being mean.

If you have the digital deluxe version of the game, use the animal hat-lion, it makes the sim wearing it angry.

Teapot is all positive stuff, so no surprise that didn't work for you.

Talk to Jacques Villareal, you can always count on him for an aggravating conversation. He always leaves my sims angry.

I think the teas are mostly for positive emotion, for example, the Chamomile tea is to reduce the anger emotion. Have you tried the emotion cheat?

You need to enable the cheats first. CTRL+SHIFT+C --> testingcheats true

sims.remove_all_buffs --> Removes all moodlets

sims.add_buff AngryHigh --> Get angry moodlet

sims.add_buff_e_buff_angry --> Get angry moodlet (12 hours)

Other than that, there's a few items that can give you angry buff such as the painting as mentioned or magic beans..

Sims who've completed the Public Enemy aspiration have a special interaction that can make another Sim angry.

Vampires can also manipulate emotions. Sometimes a little too well. (That +8 angry moodlet can get dangerous for a mortal Sim.)

If you need her to get angry when there's no other playable Sims available, she could carry around either an angry painting to hang up or have someone with the Fresh Chef trait make some servings of angry spaghetti the next time s/he gets mad.

@katrinasforest, hah, thanks for bringing up the recipe for angry spaghetti. I thought there was a food for it, but couldn't remember for sure (it is super rare for me to have angry sims, and even rarer to cook with them when they are). I love that it's spaghetti...i had forgotten that.

I've noticed that my sims often get angry from discussing politics with another sim. I have o idea whether this is a normal thing, or if it's based on contrasting personalities/political views.

The only thing that will get you in and instant angry mood is having a club gathering and setting the club vibe to angry while having all angry perks. Everything else will take forever and ever.

@simpkin That's pretty brilliant...I didn't even think of that.

I needed to get angry for an apsiration and I asked about it on the forums too and I found this to be the only sure fire way.
