@aodoherty That's a sentiment moodlet. It comes from having a positive sentiment with a sim that was nearby.
Edit: Sentiments are part of the base game.
@aodohertyAhh, hysteria, my old friend. :P We used SO MANY DEATH FLOWERS before I used MC Command Center to disable emotional deaths. And yes, it was sentiments; my Sim had positive sentiments with her daughter that gave her a playful buff and she's Cheerful.
Here are some of the strategies that I successfully used.
Lately I've been using Meaningful Stories, a mod that redesigns the emotion system so that you can't get hysterical just from being near a friend in a comfy chair and a nicely decorated room. It's harder to get your Sim into the mood you want them to be in, but they don't die from hanging around with their family. It does a lot more and may or may not be your cup of tea. But the issue is, IMHO, that there are so many happy buffs handed out by so many things (and don't get me wrong, I love happy Sims!) that a single playful buff sends them over the edge into Hysteria and death.
When my Sim and her daughter lived in a Tiny House together, my Sim's daughter was working on the Joke Star aspiration and her mother had Vicarious, so if I let her mother sit next to her while she was writing comedy routines, Mom would gain comedy skill but also become Hysterical. *facepalm*
And yes, as others have said, that's a Base Game Sentiment.
@xochiquetzl_xkvnStarting the club gathering with different emotion will be the best solution for me. Thanks so much. I haven't thought about that with a big club points. :D Can I ask which mod you are using for your game? 🙂
@JonaO703 Thank you so much for the cheats. I'm going to enjoy those. :D Can I ask you one? I saw life saver sentiment. When do you usually get this sentiment? In what situation?
@aodoherty I'm pretty sure it's this...
I copied that from the sims community website. They have a complete list of sentiments if you're interested in learning more about them and want to search for it.
I think a sim will get this sentiment when another sim pleads for their life and the Grim Reaper revives the sim. I'm not sure how else one sim might be able to save another.
@aodohertyIt's Meaningful Stories. I'm not allowed to link directly to mods on the forum, but if you google "meaningful stories for the sims 4" you should find the site and more information about the mod.
The other mod I mentioned, MC Tuner, is part of MC Command Center, which is listed under the Bug Report Forum's Hero Approved Mods. MC Tuner -> Change Interaction Behavior -> Allow Emotional Deaths.
@xochiquetzl_xkvnThanks! I found that mod page and looks brilliant!
Edit: Looks like it's not free. I can play without it. Thanks.
@aodohertyIt IS free. I certainly didn't pay for it! 😉
If you click download with "name your own price" next to it, there's a link right above where you would put a dollar amount that takes you to a free download area.
Maybe do you know about this moodlet?
I started getting this sad moodlet since installing the mod.
I have no idea why my sim is getting this sad moodlet. is there a way to get rid of this? My sims are getting this moodlet very often. 5 to 6 times a day?
It's not really a sad moodlet, it's just that they're using up their inspiration. This is customizable and you can turn it off. It's under Emotional Inertia. https://roburky.itch.io/sims4-meaningful-stories/devlog/63820/emotional-inertia-features
