===Good mood states===
Sims that are "Elated" or in the upper portion of "Very Happy" (moodlet net total of at least +50) will receive a steady stream of [[lifetime happiness]] points for the duration of that mood state.
* Happy (+10 – +25)
* Very Happy (+25 – +60)
* Elated (+60 and beyond)
===Bad mood states===
There are four types of bad mood states which is dependent on the negative moodlets the Sim has. There are two stages of the bad mood. The first stage appears when the meter is below -10 while the second appears below -50. For example, the "Mourning" moodlet (-50) will make the Sim feel sad instead of uncomfortable. Being miserable, depressed, stressed, or furious, or in other words, in the second stage of the bad mood makes certain interactions unavailable.
When most needs are low or critical, the

When the moodlet net total is close to zero or if the Sim has no moodlets, then the Sim will usually be at the "Fair" state.

Depression, though not explicitly mentioned by name, appears in ''[[The Sims]]'' and its expansions. It is the result of a Sim's motives not being fulfilled. It is inspired by the real [[wikipedia:Major depressive disorder|life mental disorder]] which shares the same name. If a Sim's motives are neglected for long enough, especially [[social]], the Sim's mood will begin to drop into the red area, and the Sim will eventually become depressed. A depressed Sim will refuse to look for jobs, whether it be via computer or newspaper. If a Sim is already employed, he/she will not automatically decide to go to work when the carpool shows up, instead they will have to be prompted. He/She will also refuse to take part in most skill-building activities, such as [[chess]] or reading a skill book. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'', [[nightmare]]s can also be a result of depression. A depressed Sim will occasionally weep and have bad thoughts. An easy, though expensive, way to fix it is to send the Sim(s) on vacation{{vgversion|TS3:WA}} If they become depressed on their vacation, it will be necessary to send them home.
If a Sim's mood drops all the way to the bottom (-100 in The Sims 3), the Sim may simply refuse to do anything, even if directed to by the player.
