Did you know you can influence your Sims’ emotions with the help of emotional aura items?
You can get Sims to enter a specific emotion by having them use items with emotional auras.
Here’s a quick list of the items you can use to alter your Sims’ emotions in The Sims 4.
What items give emotional auras to my Sims?
Showers
Have your Sims take a shower to become Flirty, Energized, or Inspired.
For example, have them take a Steamy Shower to make them Flirty.
Have them take a Brisk Shower to get them to feel Energized.
If you want your Sims to feel Inspired, have them take a Thoughtful Shower. This moodlet will boost their careers and help them get promoted faster.
Keep in mind that taking a thoughtful shower takes longer.
You can also have your Sims take a Cold Shower to reduce the intensity of their emotions.
For example, if your Sim gets too Playful, they can become Hysterical and die from laughter.
By the way, taking a bubble bath will make Sims Playful.
Computers
To get your Sim in a Focused mood, click on a computer and have them browse Simpedia. Many careers require your Sims to stay Focused for the best possible results.
Emotional Paintings
Your Sim can paint all sorts of Emotional paintings provided that they have high enough Painting skills.
For example, have them paint a Focused painting and put it on the wall where your computer is to boost your Sim’s Programming or Video Gaming skills.
Have your Sim create a Flirty Painting and hang it on the wall. Every time your Sim gets near the painting, they’ll get Flirty.
Have them paint an Angry Painting if you want to get them to get Angry.
Animal Hats
Simmers that have The Sims 4 Digital Deluxe edition can access seven Animal Hats that can instantly change their Sims’ emotions.
Here’s what each hat does:
- Angry Lion Hat
- Dazed Bear Hat
- Energized Owl Hat
- Flirty Cow Hat
- Hysterical Tiger Hat
- Inspired Chicken Hat
- Sad Panda Hat
If your Sim takes the Animal Hat off, the emotion associated with it will disappear.
Speaking of hats, there’s another interesting hat that can influence your Sim’s mood.
The Hat of Shame can make your Sims feel Embarrassed for 2,5 hours. This hat looks like a sombrero and will make your Sims hide under the covers.
Tea and Coffee Brewers
You can use a tea brewer and brew different types of tea to change your Sim’s emotions.
For example, drinking Pitch Black tea will trigger the Focused buff.
Healthy Green will give your Sims the Happy buff while Steamy Ginseng tea will make them Flirty.
Coffee will make your Sims feel Energized.
Crystals
Your Sims can collect crystals and use them to get into an Energized mood. All of the crystals have the same effect.
Food
If your Sim is a good cook, you can have them cook special recipes that grant various emotions when eaten.
For example, if the cook is Flirty, they can bake heart-shaped cookies that grant the Flirty buff when eaten.
Mirrors
Your Sims can use a mirror to psych up and get in a Confident mood.
How to use emotional aura objects in The Sims 4
You can place emotional aura objects in special rooms so that your Sims can enter that emotional state when they enter the room.
This will help you complete the goals that require your Sim to be in a particular emotional state.
Happy Simming!
