The Sims 3 Showtime Guide › Essentials › New Simology

New Moodlets

Singers who turn out a Legendary performance can walk away with the long-lasting Golden Voice moodlet.

Your Sim’s overall mood is determined by a series of smaller, fleeting emotions called moodlets. There are three types of moodlets: positive, negative, and neutral.

Strive to do things that give your Sims positive moodlets so they can keep banking Lifetime Happiness points.

Many of the new moodlets introduced in Showtime are related to the new performance careers. But others are connected to interactions with new objects like the mechanical bull or DJ booths.

Tip

Performers who get on-stage in a good mood are more likely to put on a good show. So before you head to a gig, perform activities that stock your Sim with as many positive moodlets as possible.

Avoid activities that may result in negative moodlets.
