I really like the emotions, even if there are some things I think could be improved :
- I think the environment has too big an impact on emotions, at least we can disable the auras, but well decorated should not override emotions that easily
- I wish there were a first more subtle version of the emotion (like there is a "Very" variation), which would make transitions smoother in my mind
- I would prefer if "happy" was a true emotion, when something memorable happens (new friend, babies, promotion, etc), and most of the basic +1 happy/+1 uncomfortable moved to a mood meter, which would just boost true emotions (good mood = boost positive emotions, bad mood = boost negative emotions).
