Evey sim in my game is sad about losing a family member or a close friend. I send my teen to school, all of them are sad. Invite someone over, they're sad. I've not met a sim that wasn't sad over something. Always in bad moods. It's so frustrating lol.

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The sadness that is commonplace in other players' games has been replaced by anger in mine.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 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.

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.

My Sims's moodlets are constantly fighting for dominance. Sad moodlet gets moved because of an angry moodlet then a fear pops up and pushes the other two moodlets further down the line of importance. And my Sims's facial expressions constantly change in response to whatever newest moodlet comes up. The fear moodlet is especially annoying when my Sims are fulfilling whims and working toward fulfilling an aspiration. And their fear is having unfulfilled wants. The odd bit in that is my Sims seldom got a want to fulfill or a fear to conquer that wasn't connected to an aspiration or trait. So, I'm confused as to what these wants mean in relation to the wants and fears, and how to deal with them. My Sims, before I updated, seldom had moodlets that left them unable to perform simple tasks because they feel overly sad or angry. Tonight, I am going to disable the Werewolves pack and see if that makes a difference in how often the angry moodlet pops up, affecting the NPCs that seem to be taking over every world. But if this all came about because of being included in an update, I need to find a mod or five that will help my Sims regain some sanity.

Anyone else with the Very Angry NPCs bug (if it is a bug), I made a thread here https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Suddenly-many-Very-Angry-NPCs-since-Jan-2023-patch/m-p/12254002#M239458

@JustinB113 do you know if there's a bug thread about high school teen NPCs not aging? I have that in my game but so far it's only the children of 1 couple that I downloaded from the gallery so I feel like my situation isn't a great example to base a thread on
