Playful is becoming an issue

I play tiny houses and have snowy escape. My sims are fine all the time, such fine sims. Emotions are a rare occurrence in my games.

This is partially why I put mirrors everywhere.
"Try to calm down".
Haha! I've actually seen NPC Sims go to mirrors autonomously many times to "calm down".

I haven’t either. Even when I tried to force one for the Black Widow Challenge. I ended up just having to bump husbands off with MCCC.

Do you have Paranormal?
I have an evil sorceror that died from hysteria, and I think it was caused by too much interaction with the little spirits and their sprinkles. It was strange to have an evil character get so playful that it killed him.

I used to allow my characters to get very playful, but seeing how fast it killed the evil sorcerer I've been sending characters to the mirror to calm down anytime they get that playful. I wonder if the spirit sprinkles may have had something to do with his demise though, like maybe it was a way of malicious ghosts to mislead sims into death? That would be an interesting storyline, and it would also mean I wouldn't have to worry about my other characters getting too playful when they're not interacting with spirits.

I miss the no sense of humor trait from Sims 3.
