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. Having low funds can also send a Sim's mood plummeting.
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. With ''The Sims 2: Nightlife'' or later, this can be addressed by using the MaxMotives cheat.
