Urgencies

Urgencies are the common needs, such as Hygiene, Hunger and Energy, 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. They will also refuse to do several actions.

If needs are not met at all, consequences might occur, such as having an accident on themselves, passing out, or even worse, death. Sims who are suffering from lack of social activity will be visited by the Social Bunny. Sims who are visiting with low needs will leave in order to fulfil it.

Social

Sims with the loner trait are much less likely to be visited by the social bunny, but a chat from time to time is needed. Sims will get a negative moodlet if thier soical bar is too low. The social bar is pretty easy to fill back up. A neglected baby will brighten up immediatly with a snuggle, and hanging out with some besites is sure to work for your teens. If you try to stop a sim from interacting wiht other sims when the social bar is low, they might refuse. So be sure to have your sim get out and have some fun.

Hygene

A lot of things can make the hygiene bar drop. A work out, playing outside, a dirty diaper, a sim peeing themselves, or just not taking a shower in a while. When your sim is really dirty, a green smoke will start to waft from them and they'll get a negative moodlet. Other sims will be disgusted by them and not want to be around them. Washing hands or brushing teeth will bring the hygiene bar up slightly, but showers and baths are the most effective. Even if a sim recently took a bath, peeing thier pants will bring the hygiene bar right back down again. Keep your sims clean!

Fun

Sims need a little fun from time to time. They'll get a stressed out moodlet if the fun bar is low. It might be harder to keep teenage sims with part-time jobs happy when it comes to fun, along with homework and school. Touring buildings, playing chess, swimming, playing on a playground, and making out are a few of the many things your sim can do for fun. Sims generally do better at work and in school when they've had some fun in the past few hours.

Bladder

Everybody has to pee, right? Well sims are no different. When the bar gets yellow, they'll get a has to pee moodlet. When it gets red, they'll get a really has to pee moodlet, meaning time is almost out and they need to urinate badly. This effects thier actions. If a toilet is near and not in use, sims will dash for it. If not, sims will get extremely cranky. Sims with low bladder bars double over, hold their privates, moan, grunt, hiss and cross thier legs. Drinking lots of juice or coffee will make the bladder bar drop rapildly. When another sim is in the bathroom, a sim won't use the toilet wich can result in an accident. Sims get humiliated when they wet themselves, even more so in front of tohers, who will laugh thier heads off. Try to avoid incedints like these, as sims remember them forever and get a negative moodlet, along with cruel gossip and giggles about them.

Hunger

Hunger will surely effect your sims work and school performacne- they'll be miserable! A quick meal will get your sims back on track. When sims are starving, they'll go grab a snack by themselves. But if they're sleeping, at work or at school, you'll have to direct them to. If you don't, you'll be expecting the grim reaper. Sims should have at least two meals a day. If they get really hungry, they'll probably refuse to do anything but eat. Feed them!

Energy

Sims without enough rest can be especially grumpy. Better beds mean better sleep, and not enough of it will surely effect your sim. When a sims get literally to tired to anything, they just pass out. If your sim is a little tired, a quick nap will patch things up. If sims arrive tired to work every morning, they'll get fired as thier perfermence will decrease. So sleep, sims, sleep!
