Other positive moods will be boosted by the score of the 'fine' mood.

'Fine' is now the boosting mood for positive emotions, taking the role previously filled by the 'happy' mood. The roles of the 'happy' and 'fine' moods have changed. True Happiness is also included in the newer Meaningful Stories () mod! They will feel truly happy only when something worthy of it happens to them, and it should feel like their life is improved for experiencing it. Happiness will no longer be your sims' default state.

You'll be happy for them, too, because that good mood might be the push they need to make today's painting a masterpiece, or to improve their grade at school. Your sim might be having a day that's merely OK, until something special happens, like a new friend, a promotion, or a first kiss, and they feel truly happy for once. It's something you will find difficult to seek out, but be able to appreciate when it happens.

Happiness for your sims will be something fleeting, meaningful, and personal. With True Happiness for The Sims 4, your sims will experience happiness differently.
