Other Ways to Research the Angry Emotion, Please?

It's pretty easy to research the other emotions in Get Famous, but I actively avoid gigs where I know my Sims will have to research the angry emotion because of how difficult it is to do so. First off, if a Sim is not hot-headed, it's not easy to get them angry. The only surefire way to get a Sim who isn't hot-headed angry is to have them be mean to other Sims. I would prefer to not have to do this, though, since doing so causes their reputation to go down. When having to research the flirty emotion, there's an option to do so if you click on your Sim. Why do we not have this option for the angry emotion? It's also absent for the playful emotion. Maybe it's a bug? I don't know.

But, long story short, I'd really appreciate it if other things counted toward researching the angry emotion. Just like with the flirty emotion, we should be able to click our Sims and get them in an angry mood on the spot. I suggest having angry-exclusive actions count, such kicking over trash cans, taking an angry poop, cooking angry flaming spaghetti (eating it could also count), making the boiler room drink (drinking it could also count), making an angry painting, doing angry workouts, and scribbling furiously in a journal. Shouting forbidden words could probably count as well.

    The day my sim won’t depend on serums to become angry (or paintings or spaghetti), but will get that emotion because other sims insult them, or they lost their job, or they burned their food, or the kids are annoying, or their spouse cheated on them, that’s the day I’ll take this franchise seriously again.


    I quite enjoy the manipulation of emotions. Hopefully the Sims 5 will restore your faith. :)

    I'd love the manipulation of emotions too, if it would mean finding all kind of human based actions to make it happen. Then it could be actual gameplay for me. Playing with auras for me just is too far off human behaviour. I'd also want to see a difference between sims. The hot headed person getting angry quite easily, the patient and friendly one not. I guess what I mean is that I'm just as interested in the process of a sim getting a certain emotion as the emotion itself? I want to be able to understand why they feel the way they feel. Otherwise it just feels like looking at an emoji.

    I wonder by the way (didn't occur to me when I reacted but rereading the OP I notice the mention of Get Famous), does the researching emotions have something to do with acting? That's a different matter of course.


    Yeah, prep work for a gig.

    They’re not really into method acting then ;) But joking aside, I do understand the functionality of triggering emotions for that. Assuming they can use the emotions when they are acting in the game of course. Actors with a wider range of ‘collected’ emotions being more famous/better paid and I’d want to see it back watching the acting animations.
