Happy

Happy is an emotion available in The Sims 4. It generally occurs when a Sim experiences positive interactions. Additionally, Happy moodlets can boost the effects of other positive emotions (except Fine and Asleep), with each point providing a +1 boost to the emotion with the highest amount of points. Happy can evolve into Very Happy with enough moodlet points if the Sim does not have any moodlets for other positive emotions.

Stages

• Happy: 1-7, 1-5 for Teens

Object Auras

These are items found, bought, or earned in the game that can emit a happy aura in the area around the object. Players can choose to enable or disable the aura at any time. Once enabled, a Sim can interact with the object, through viewing or using it, and they will earn a happy moodlet. Whether their mood changes to happy or not depends on the other moodlets affecting the Sim at that time.

Obtaining Moodlet

• Diving for Thrills with another Sim in a Dumpster will always give you a Happy +3 moodlet

Wants

Happy Sims may get the following wants:

• Dance to Stereo
• Hug another Sim
• Call Someone on the Phone
• Chat with Someone
• Tell a Joke
• Meet Someone New
• Make a Friend

Careers and Jobs

No jobs or careers will gain work performance if a Sim goes to work while happy.

Trivia

• Internally, Very Happy is referred to as "Elated".
• Using a laser pointer while Happy will make the light match the emotion's color and take on the shape of a fish.
