Sad sims everywhere

Yeah there are waves of deaths that come at certain times. Like all those sims who start the game at the beginning of the Young Adult stage-- they all hit the end of their lives at the same time.

My sims are the opposite. Any sims that arrive on the active sims lot are usually angry and like kicking my bins over.

LOL! It's so bad to send your teen to school and then everyone is sad. My sim is in a good mood. He's consoled so many sims now he likes to console others. It's like well, we're at school and everyone is always sad. Let's make our round of condolences for the day and do it all over again tomorrow.

The sadness that is commonplace in other players' games has been replaced by anger in mine. Good grief, every Sim mine meet is ticked off and stomping around like a mad cow. I can't even do a friendly introduction with them. I finally updated my game last week and I cannot believe some of the silliness going on with my Sims' moods! Case in point, I switched households to play the second main Sim in my favorite save then ran into the first one minutes later at the grocery stall, only to have Sim 1 stomp up as if he were looking for a fight. These two Sims are BFFs and shouldn't have any problems with one another about anything. Friendly interactions were rebuffed, and their friendship stats took a big hit because of what was happening.

I put all updates on hold after Werewolves was released because of the hassle updating my mods causes, So, it's been a while since I have played a fully updated game. I don't regret having done it, but I am struggling to understand why our Sims' emotions are all over the map. Rampant sadness and anger seem to be the norm now, and I am scrambling to find mods that will hopefully bring emotional balance back to my game. I have a feeling it's all about the new Neighborhood Stories that was added in one of the updates.

I've been seeing sims stomping around like they're mad. I pause and click on them to see why they're angry and they have no angry moodlet, not even a hidden one. If I allow them to continue and they interact with another sim it's a friendly, romantic, or funny social that comes up. After I check on them and then switch to another sim the one who was stomping around is back to walking normal again. In my game it's like it's a glitch with the walk.

Hmm it seems like I'm not the only one with lots of Very Angry sims running around since the last patch! In my game they autonomously insult each other and my sims. I posted on the Ahq thread about the autonomous insulting but was told insulting is normal for Very Angry. Maybe when I get home from work I'll make a new thread over there about excessive Very Angry npcs. If it's by design somehow, someone over there will surely tell us ☺

The autonomous insulting seems to have cooled off for me since it's hotfix last year. My sim self's daughter who is a Young Adult encountered a sim at the gym who's also a Young Adult and autonomously insulted her and a pop up appeared telling me that his daughter discovered that said sim was an Evil sim.

I noticed a change in my sims personalities. They will be mean to someone for no reason. It's either sadness or someone being mean and they're not even angry. They just start yelling at their kids or spouse. I would love to see some drama stirred up in my game other than sad sims everywhere. I even see sad sims walking down the street. It's gotten a little ridiculous.

I never see fighting though. I'd like to see more of that lol. Also, my sims moods are all over the place! They have so many moodlets going on. I almost forgot....sadness and uncomfortable rules in my game.

The current family I'm on generation 6. The past 2 generations have been sad back to back during their entire lives over deaths.

Same! I'm on about the 5-6th generation. Just took my teen to school and of course sadness and the rest are very uncomfortable. The teens aren't aging either so it's the same sims their parents went to high school with! No idea why some of the teen townie sims aren't aging.
