For example, curing a Sim will instantly complete transformation to become a [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampire]], cure [[zombie]]s and Sims cursed by a [[mummy]], cure a [[singed]] Sim, and so on. |

*In the Mac and PC versions, the the Cure and Zap options only appear when a Sim has it in the inventory and won't appear when controlling other Sims. For example, [[Cornelia Goth|Cornelia]] will not have the Cure and Zap commands if [[Gunther Goth|Gunther]] has it in his inventory. In the PS3/Xbox 360 versions of ''[[The Sims 3 (console)|The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Pets (console)|The Sims 3 Pets]]'', Cure and Zap will appear for all Household members when in the Sims' Inventory. |

|||
*Moodlets without a timer such as '''Enemy!''', '''Missing Work''', and '''Hunted''' will be cured but will still be coming back. This is due to the fact the some Moodlets only disappear when certain conditions are met. For example, Enemies, Vampires{{vgversion|TS3:LN}}{{vgversion|TS3:SN}}, and [[Tragic Clown]]{{vgversion|TS3:SN}} Sims provide a negative Moodlet that only disappears when away from the Sims in question. Similarity, Missing Work will only disappear if the [[Workaholic]] either heads to work or the work area for Professions, or until the work hours end. However, it will remove '''Singed''' and '''Anxious to Advance''' despite not having a timer. |
|||
*Since ''The Sims 3 Seasons'', the Moodlet Manager does not remove the "[[Singed]]" moodlet but only if it was caused by [[fire]]s, it will still remove it if it was caused by [[electrocution]]. This also occurs to games prior to ''Seasons'' if one has their game patched with the update from ''Seasons'' to ''Into the Future''. |
|||
*The Moodlet Manager will actually fill a need to cure a moodlet, but will not give Sims the moodlet that goes with that need i.e. the "Good Meal" and "Well Rested" moodlets. This is because the moodlets are associated with the food eaten and the bed used by the Sims. It will, however, give Sims "Squeaky Clean" and "Having a Blast" moodlets. |
|||
*The Moodlet Manager is less useful in ''Supernatural'' as there are neutral Moodlets that provide positive effects. In addition to removing negative Moodlets, neutral Moodlets are also removed. While this is useful for the '''Fatigued''' Moodlet, it will also remove other beneficial neutral Moodlets such as'''Turbo Sleep''', '''Invigorated''', and '''Wish Master''' therefore canceling the effects of the Elixir. |
|||
*The only negative and neutral moodlets that the Moodlet Manager won't cure are "Singed" (except by [[electrocution]]), "Unexpected Weight Gain" (as a result of alien pregnancy), and [[midlife crisis]] moodlets. |

The Moodlet Manager is an object in The Sims 3, The Sims 3 (console) and The Sims 3 Pets (console).
The Moodlet Manager has a Cure and Zap function. Cure removes all negative and neutral moodlets but sometimes will malfunction and empty a Sim's energy need. Zap empties a Sim's energy the same way when Cure malfunctions. The Moodlet Manager will also fill needs if they are low enough to produce a negative or neutral moodlet.[1][2] Certain moodlets, however, cannot be erased.[3][4][5]
While the gadget removes many moodlets with unwanted downfall effects (e.g, "Fatigue"), it can be disadvantageous when it clears some other neutral moodlets that are beneficial (such as "Turbo Sleep," "Invigorated," or "Wish Master"). However, it still can be very practical for certain moodlets that have special effects on Sims. For example, curing a Sim will instantly complete transformation to become a vampire, cure zombies and Sims cursed by a mummy, cure a singed Sim, and so on.
Appearance in games[edit | edit source]
The Sims 3[edit | edit source]
In the Windows and OS X version, it is obtainable as a Lifetime Reward for 60,000 Lifetime Happiness points. When purchased, it will appear in the Sim's inventory. The Moodlet Manager can only be used by the Sim that has it in their inventory, so the player will need to move it between Sims.
If the Grim Reaper takes away a Sim that has a Moodlet Manager, it will be moved to another Sim. However, if a child who has a Moodlet Manager is taken away by the social worker, the Moodlet Manager will not be transferred to another Sim.
A Moodlet Manager can be sold for up to §12,000. The price may depreciate over time.
The Sims 3 (console)[edit | edit source]
In The Sims 3 (console), it is a Challenge Reward that can be purchased for 450 Challenge points. When the reward is purchased, it can be bought for §3000 in any saved game even those with cheats enabled . It has the same functions as in The Sims 3 but when placed in the inventory, any Sim in the household can use the Cure and Zap functions.
Since cheats disable challenges, players cannot complete challenges to earn 450 points.
Mostly Dead moodlet[edit | edit source]
In The Sims 3 for console, the "Mostly Dead" moodlet is applied to a Sim that has died and been turned into a ghost. When the moodlet expires, the affected Sim will be sent to the Netherworld. The moodlet lasts for 5 days, giving the affected Sim some time to cure/resurrect themselves before they pass on completely.
The Moodlet Manager will remove this moodlet, allowing the Sim to stay in their ghost form for as long as the Player stays in the game. If the player quits out of their game and rejoins, their Sims will have re-applied the "Mostly Dead" moodlet, which restarts the 5-day countdown. The player may use the Moodlet Manager to cure their affected Sims infinitely.
The Sims 3 Pets (console)[edit | edit source]
In The Sims 3 Pets (console), it can be obtained as an invention when a Sim has Level 10 Inventing. It's similar to the one in The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 (console) but there are differences. It cannot remove neutral moodlets such as Fatigued and initially has 5 charges.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ Erasing the "Pumped," "Buzzed," or "Wide Awake" moodlet from a Sim will not fill the energy motive though.
- ↑ While the device can eliminate motive-dropping moodlets, it will not necessary exchange it with the positive moodlet that goes with the restored need i.e. the "Good Meal" and "Well Rested" moodlets. This is because moodlets are reflected by the quality of eaten food or used object by the Sims. It will, however, give Sims "Squeaky Clean" and "Having a Blast" moodlets.
- ↑ Moodlets that persistently appear due to certain conditions cannot be removed, such as "Enemy!", "Missing Work", "It's Dark", or "Hunted", as they will reappear as soon as they are removed. Moodlets that last indefinitely, such as "Anxious to Advance" can still be removed normally.
- ↑ It will also not erase "Unexpected Weight Gain" (as a result of alien pregnancy), and midlife crisis moodlets.
- ↑ As of patch 1.42, moodlet manager no longer removes "Singed" moodlet (caused only by fire). It will still remove "Singed" as a result from electric shock.
