Let’s tone down the anger of Sims?

It's a bug or tuning issue that came with fears. They claimed was addressed with the last patch, but lots of players say it's still happening. As soon as my mom and daughter Sim started fighting for no reason all the time I went to the forums to see if other people were seeing it. Then I quit playing them. I've only been building and am waiting until it's confirmed the problem is solved.

If you are open to a little light cheating, try this: Both the sims you want to socialize must declare the same weather preference, then spam "talk about the weather". It works wonders even for enemies. I don't know how bad the bug that makes all sims mean is, but maybe this trick can alleviate the impact a little.

Another consideration is that embarassed and tense (maybe also angry, I'm only sure about the two others) moodlets from bad conversations cause socializing to fail even when embarassed or tense is not the dominant emotion. My sims can be focused, but as long as they have yellow or orange buried somewhere, it's hopeless.

Signed, the owner of a very irritable sim teen that is constantly arguing without being in any mean phase, and with no bad trait or bad sentiment. (It's only this one sim and my game version is still from before the bug. I don't get that kid.)

I actually don’t notice most of my sims get that angry, I did create a sim and I didn’t even give her the hot headed trait but I did give her high Maintenace and she literally was the funniest sim I ever created,

I didn’t intend to make her a jerk, I just intended for her to like things a certain way, I also made her have liked and dislikes randomly, it really created a personality for her, her name was Shannon Boye.

And I had her live with roommates and after a bout a month In sim days they all avoided her like the plague. I had never seen anything like it, if she would stomp into a room they would all scatter. She hated the color green and one morning she got up and went into the bathroom which the toilet is green and she freaked out and it sent her into a Tyrade of anger the rest of the day, another day she went to work and broke a nail and it ruined the rest of her day and she came home and yelled at everybody.

It was wierd because she would get nightmares all the time. And to be honest I never had a sim who even had nightmares until her, and she had quite a few, she would wake up disturbed by a bad dream she had, and I think this effected her mood in a negative way, she was definitely always looking for a reason to be upset or mad, and even though she could be exhausting and I know other sims couldn’t stand her or were afraid of her, her rich personality made me adore her.

And no I don’t agree, if anything the creators need to Amp up the personalities and emotions, not tone it down. I feel like sometimes this game lacks the emotional behavior across the board, and we players have been begging for more personality so the last thing I think we should be asking is if they should tone any emotion or personality down.

There was an anger bug that effected many peoples games and I would get it, if all sims were just angry all the time, but that’s been fixed and I hope they don’t tone down any of the traits or emotional behavior or buffs, we need more of it in my opinion. But I will say in the last year they have amped it up a bit and it’s got better within the last year I would say.

Then you're in for a long wait. I don't think they're going to be fixing it any time soon, if at all.

Very likely. I backed up my save and am continuing with a new one because I decided I wanted to actually play. We'll see how that goes.

If all else fails you can use the MCCC mod, go into the mod menu item in game, and choose sim cheats then mood ans buff control and then either remove all buffs, or look into the buffs to select the angry ones for removal but that takes time to scroll through so many buffs.
