Sim is sad for 2 days after death

There is a herbal elixir your sim can cook on the stove, if your sim has the proper ingredients and the necessary skill of herbalism, the elixir removes the sadness and if you have a cloning machine you have indefinite supply :)

I agree that the sadness feature is overdone. 3 hours would be enough and we need a choice to turn it off.

If you use MCCC there's a setting to remove that moodlet. It's somewhere under cheats>cheat sim info(or something like that)>moodlet/buffs

That's what I usually do when the whole family is sad over some extended relative that they never met.

doesn't the moodlet solver work? No cheats, mods, long interactions necessary.

You can also get them to go to a mirror and buck themselves up , it takes a while but at least they don't stay sad for 2 days . It bugs me when they are sad over some random townie they never even knew hardly , just because they talked to them once when i was playing a different family . Because of this i have now turned off ageing for unplayed townies , and just delete a load every so often to keep the town fresh

There is a "happiness" potion in the rewards that cost only 750 points, I generally use that.

They've fixed this - the two or more days of sad was meant to address players' issues with Sims who didn't seem to care that they'd lost someone close to them. Unfortunately, it got a bit out of hand, and any Sim your Sim had ever met - even enemies - triggered endless sad. Now, it's only for Sims with whom they have a family link (or close relationship? My Sims never have good friends outside of their family, so I don't know whether that works properly or not). In any case, if a relative who was close to my Sims, such as a parent, dies, the Sim is sad for several days, but she should be. With casual acquaintances, I don't think I even get a death notification anymore.

I use the UI cheat mod to adjust moodlets. It's only partly cheating, I think, because I might let them keep a sad moodlet for say 1 day, then delete it if I will rather do something else than being sad. The fine thing about UI Cheat is that you can decide whether you use it or not, it won't do anything unless you choose it to.

I just let them be sad. Usually they will find something that makes them happy again soon enough. I think it would be a little boring if they had no emotions and were always happy plus it is normal to be sad when a friend or family member dies.

Yes, but 2 days in a Sims' life are almost 2 years IRL and for me that is too much mourning about friends that I never noticed.
