Urgencies

Urgencies are the common needs that Sims must fulfill. When a need becomes too low, a Sim might have a cloud with the image of that need over their head and will make a motion, such as holding themselves if they need to use the bathroom. Sleeping Sims with low needs often have nightmares about the low motives. Sims with low needs tend to wave at the player and complain, and will not learn any new skills until their mood improves.

If needs are not met at all, consequences might occur, such as having an accident on themselves, passing out, or even worse, death.
