I have everything negative turned off in game options. I'm having my sim make a video game. She's dazed and needs to do something creative. She shouldn't be getting dazed without any game options set that way, and making games is creative! How is my sim getting negative emotions from the way I'm playing her? Is there any way to turn off the negative emotions without using a mod?

You can shift-click your sim and make her happy maybe? Hopefully that will work? Cheat her needs to make sure everything is full?

I can used to be able to play with her doing work and not get negative emotions. It's something new the devs added in, this is the first time this happened. My sims always work from home usually as gardeners and hackers. I decided I would make her make games instead of hacking this time.Oh and shift-click isn't a mod btw! It's just, you hold shift and then you click on your sim. Um...right click maybe? I haven't done it in awhile. But it's build into the game!

Do you have Growing Together? If so, it might be burnouthttps://simscommunity.info/2023/05/10/sims-4-burnouts/I don't have the pack so can't give any tips beyond what's in the article.

aaah @mightysprite you mentioned it just as I was about too, I remember with one of my scenario's I played my sim got dazed because of the midlife crisis, also if you have Get to work, your sim can be getting sick and feel dazed too. Other than that I think a juiced community causes Dazed sims as well, but those are usually the townies you see Dazed.

Glad you got your answer! Dazed can also happen due to electric shock/lightning (which the second I assume you have turned off), too much caffeine and a long list of other things.

My sim was sick the day before she got dazed, but I made her drink a whole pot of green tea. From the tea pot that came with dlc, can't remember which one. I unclicked everything so she don't get layoffs, etc. So I was surprised to see the dazed emotion.

Mmm I wonder if it just prevents her from actually losing her job if you have that unclicked, but she still gets the dazed feelings and midlife crisis happen to her.

I have noticed a lot of simmers complain about dazed sims, but I actually purposely make mine dazed with the "bubble machines" lol. I think it's funny. I truly understand being frustrated when they won't get into the mood you need / want them to be in, though - happens to me all the time

I have weather effects, acne, and something under acne, (can't remember the name) turned on but everything else is off.

I hope it means she doesn't get the midlife crisis when it's unclicked. I play with ageing off.

I remember being happy whenever my Sim got dazed since it rarely happened, but ever since I installed Eco Living last year, I'm getting really tired of the dopey faces when visiting other neighborhoods that have the "Juiced" N.A.P. :D Sometimes I control a Sim in that neighborhood just so I can get that N.A.P. (or the fighting one) repealed. Shame how it's changed.
