My hope for moods/emotions in the game is to be something like Sims 3. Sims 3, in my opinion, handled moodlets the best. Yours sims could feel different emotions at once. And it did greatly affect their mood depending on what was going on. Something I did enjoy was that moodlets could potentially have different levels and some moodlets could be assigned on the same activity.
(Ex: A sim is eating ice cream/snow cone. There are three possible moodlets: “Yummy Goodness” which gives them a happy mood, “Freezer Burn” which is negative because your sim might react and think the ice cream was stale and then there’s “Brain Freeze” kind of self explanatory)
Just like in real life, you can be happy and sad about different things that’s going on. You can be happy about that good nights sleep you had but then still be upset that you lost that match when you were playing video games.
At the end of it all, I just hope that emotions dont feel like they can be easily overwhelmed.
