Exactly.
If a sim is supposed to be angry, tense, or upset by a situation in any way, the least that I'd expect is for their facial expressions to reflect the tension of the moment. A side-eye. A scowl. Something!
From what I've seen, positive emotions are still overwhelming the Sentiments. As SimGuruGraham tried to explain something that wasn't actually happening on the screen, all he managed to do was to highlight that the emotion system is still broken. I don't want to read about a Sim's visceral response. I want to
see it.
Some people may say that I'm nitpicking. However, for me, having the Sims respond appropriately to any given situation is crucial. It is foundational for my kind of gameplay. I don't want to have to pretend, use a mod, a cheat, or a new in-game feature in order for a Sim to react the way that a menu entry says that they are reacting. I really wish that the devs had done some rebalancing while they were adding new features to the existing system.
