I need to make my Sim sad but how?

My sim got sad when her lover flirted with someone else.

Thank you

Go fishing and fish till sim faints. He'll get sad from being alone.

Letting their social slide way down does it for sure, unless I suppose they are loners. One of my sims was crying in the shower and hiding under the covers weeping.

Sometimes they return from school (and maybe from work as well) with sad moodlet from the miserable day they had there.

Also, make sure that the room you sim is in doesn't have any Environment+ properties added on. Anything that has and Environment score will immediately add to a sim's happy mood and there's no way to turn it off. No. Way. Sad paintings or other objects with sad attributes can nerf this, but it's a delecate balancing act in my experience.

I have a Sim with the "good" trait. He gets sad whenever he's around someone with the "evil" trait, particularly when the evil one is being mean to others.

My sim happened to be a loner LOL

Losing a gaming tournament bums out my geek sims.

reading a sad book or mourning the dead can make a sim sad
