How to become Emotional

Written by sww
We all know that Emotions are what sets Sims in The Sims 4 apart from their predecessors. By now you’ll have experienced a number of these and seen the impact on your Sims. From the way they walk, to the whims they generate, from the interactions they have with other Sims, to how they perform at school or work, you name it, their emotional state affects it.

If you are anything like me, you are playing The Sims 4 and need your Sim in a different emotion and then go… how do I get there the fastest? This is why I wrote this guide to keep track of which actions give which emotion.

Disclaimer: This guide is not finished yet, as I discover more emotional interactions I will add them to the list. If you know of any interactions, please post in the comments and I will add it to the list (and give you credit).
