Killing a sim by laughter/how to make a sim playful. Part guide, part question
So I have done a lot of research into how a kill a sim by stacking moodlets. I have successfully done it with anger, embarrassment, and fear (using the mod) and laughter seems to be an almost unattainable one but I have done it. To begin, I will explain how to kill a sim via an emotion. Generally, with anger and embarrassment, you just need +7 moodlet total in that emotion for about 2-3 sim hours for that sim to die. For a sim to die of laughter, you need more than +7 it seems. Maybe it's a bug, maybe it just takes more. I had my sim in the Very Playful mood with a +10 playful moodlet stack for about 8 sim hours. Having him drink cow plant essence, granting him +2 in the playful moodlet making it a +13 stack FINALLY got him in the Hysterical mood and then it didn't stay for long enough. My question is, has it always been this way or was it because of the November update for University???
The guide part is where I have compiled a list of things that make sims playful:
Testing has shown that the Playful emotion is from +1 to +5 playful moodlet stacks and Very Playful is from +6 to +10 moodlet stacks. Hysterical is apparently achieved from +11 and up moodlet stacks.
From several hours of testing with multiple sims at once it is extremely difficult to keep a sim in the Hysterical state. All moodlets have timers which run out really quick. The best moodlets are from cowplant essence, razzleberry, telling jokes, taking a bubble bath, being voodooed, and eating gummy bear pancakes. The easiest to do are making a silly face, watching comedy on the TV, telling jokes, eating a razzleberry, drinking cowplant essence, and being voodooed. If you are able to stay on top and have your sim cycle through these things every 4 sim hours, you will eventually kill your sim by laughter. It might take several irl hours though. So be prepared.
Here is a picture of the moodlets and the clothing items from CAS being worn.

- Having the goofball trait will randomly give a playful moodlet +1
- Watch another sim tell jokes at the microphone +1
- I have not tested it yet, but if I remember correctly playing with a toddler or a dog can also give a playful moodlet. When I test it, I will update this post.
- If I remember correctly drinking the Playful Celebuserum will give +3 but I will test it. (Get Famous. Not available in Buy-debug. Must have the celebuserum fame perk and wait for it in the mail)
