Let's talk about the flawed emotion system
I have a problem with this game's emotional system on treating sims emotion with it's flawed rating/grading mood. How in the H? can a Sim become happy (any positive emotion) in a decorated room with m...

Agreed. Emotions is one of the most celebrated "additions", and even that they can't implement well. But hey, at least CAS is tactile and intuitive.
It - the eomotion system - works well and therefore as intended. Don't see a problem here.
They implemented the vampires in Sims 3 as intended, meaning that they planned townies to turn into ones autonomously. I don't think many simmers thought they implemented them 'well' that way though, it got irritating quite fast. Implementing features as intended isn't automatically the same thing as implementing them well. I think they overlooked things when they came up with the 'emotions as gameplay' idea as far as many simmers are concerned. For many people sims should react to major events, events they can relate to (death, being cheated on, not taking a particular shower or being in a room with an item that happens to have an 'aura'). And simmers also want their sims to remember things, emotions shouldn't be very temporary buffs that mean nothing and aren't aimed at particular sims. When my sim in Sims 4 is tense, they will react tense and unfriendly towards everyone. When my sim in 2 or 3 is mad at someone, they will only be unfriendly to that person, not to anyone. I had a sim in 3 who was mad at my sim and she refused to dance with him (two days after he had suggested to just be friends). Instead she started dancing with someone else. That's how I want emotions to be handled.
I agree... I am actually one of those people who gets irritated when my town is fully of way too many vampires or supernaturals (as much as I enjoy them). My sims when to college and it was,like hogwarts in harry potter! It was FULL of supernaturals. Lole No humans at all except for her and a sprinkle of others and by graduation that had got worse, her professor had turned into one and a bunch of her roommates lol. I was like whats going on! Thats being said I get what you mean. The idea of the emotion system is brilliant imo. But was it implemented to its full potential well no. I dont think it was.
