A [[Sim]]'s '''mood''' is determined by the level of their [[Motive|needs]]
The mood of a Sim affects the color of their [[plumbob]], which will be green if the Sim is in a good mood, and red if they are in a bad mood. Sims who are in a good mood will perform better in their [[career]]s and accept social interactions more positively, which Sims who are in a bad mood may refuse to build [[skill]]s, do poorly at work, or react negatively to other Sims.
==The meter==▼
The bar/meter next to the needs (or moodlets{{Vgversion|TS3}}) indicates mood. Green (which is usually indicated by the upper part of the bar) indicates good mood, and means that the average level of the needs are green or the Sims has more positive moodlets. The higher and greater the amount of the green, the better mood the Sim is in. If there is no color in the bar, that indicates the Sim is in a neutral mood; neither good nor bad. Red (which is indicated by the lower part of the bar) indicates bad mood, and means that the average level of the needs are red or yellow. The higher and greater the amount of the red, the worse mood the Sim is in.
Sims that are in a bad mood will only do things that will increase their need levels (such as sleeping when [[energy]] is low, eating when [[hunger]] is low, etc.) They will not do anything that will either have no effect or worsen their moods (such as study, exercising, etc.). Sims who are in a poor mood will not automatically go to work when the [[carpool]] comes, but will have to be told to go by the player. Sims in a good mood will be able to do anything that their age group, skills etc. allow.▼
In ''The Sims 4'', the mood bar is replaced by the Sim's [[Emotion|emotional state]].▼
===Good mood effects===▼
▲Sims that are in a bad mood will only do things that will increase their need levels (such as sleeping when [[energy]] is low, eating when [[hunger]] is low, etc.). Sims in a good mood will be able to do anything that their age group, skills etc. allow.
In ''The Sims 3'', if a Sim's mood is in the top section of the bar, they will automatically generate [[lifetime happiness]] points. Sims also learn skills and get promotions faster when they are in a good mood. The Sim's facial expression on its portrait changes with the mood.
▲In ''The Sims 4'', the mood bar is replaced by the Sim's [[Emotion|emotional state]].
When a Sim is in a bad mood, the following can be affected.
*Sims will not build skills while in a bad mood. If the player tries to get them to build skills while in a bad mood, a dialog or message will appear.{{Vgversion|TS}}{{Vgversion|TS2}}
*
*Sims will do poorly at their [[career]]s, and [[job performance]] may be affected.

▲**The player cannot use any socials on an Urb.{{Vgversion|TU:SITC}}
*Shaking the Ice Cream machine in [[Kicktail Park]] will result in death.{{Vgversion|TU:SITC}} However, if Fireworks occur or Ice Cream comes out, the Urb will not die.
== Mood states ==
In ''The Sims 3'', the Sim's mood state is displayed by hovering over the mood bar.
===Good mood states===
Line 37 ⟶ 33:
===Bad mood states===
There are three types of bad mood states which is dependent on the moodlets the Sim has. For example, the "Mourning" moodlet will make the Sim feel sad instead of uncomfortable. Being miserable, depressed, or furious makes certain interactions unavailable.
* Uncomfortable
Line 54 ⟶ 50:
==Depression==
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 disease]] 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, the Sim may simply refuse to do anything, even if directed to by the player
===Dealing with Depression===

====The Sims 2====
*Sims can alleviate their motives by using the [[Eclectic and Enigmatic Energizer]] with high aspiration meter. If Sims use it with low aspiration meter, there's a higher chance the machine will deplete all their motives instead.
*Players can use the <code>maxMotives</code> [[The Sims 2: Nightlife/cheats|cheat]] to quickly raise the motives of all Sims on the lot.{{vgversion|TS2:NL}} Additionally, if the player enables the [[testing cheats]] before loading the lot, they will be able to simply drag the Sim's motives up.
