Would you play a Sim based on only 2 emotions? Would it be fun?
I've made a few topics around emotions the last week and one constant is emotions don't replace a personality or what defines one. The sims in S4 lack unique personalities from one another and more or less all do the same activities no matter what traits you give them (which are basically just buffs)
However it occurred to me to turn my statement on its head, by literally making and playing sims dictated by their emotions and selecting 2 emotions to define each sim. For example, you make a Sims who would experience mostly anger and sadness. That sim then ONLY does activities that make them angry or sad all the time.
Another sim could experience happiness and playful emotions mostly, seeking activities and careers that would boost/benefit from those emotions.
If your angry sim becomes happy, then you must do an activity that makes them angry because they don't enjoy being happy. They enjoy being angry (some people I know are actually like this lol)
One thing is for sure, you'd definitely remember a sim after playing them, because they were always angry, ect.
I'm probably gonna give it a try myself later...but, I'm not sure if this type of focused emotional game play would actually be fun?
Thoughts?
