If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your Sims from smiles to steam in seconds flat, you’re in the right place.
Knowing how to make Sims angry is crucial if your Sim is pursuing an acting career. One of their tasks is to ‘research angry emotion.’
Here’s how you can make your Sims very angry in The Sims 4!
Quickest Method: Use Cheat Codes
- Use cheat codes like sims.add_buff AngryHigh or sims.add_buff_e_buff_angry to make Sims instantly angry.
Engage With Other Sims in a Mean or Rude Way
In The Sims 4, Sims experience a variety of emotions based on their interactions and experiences. Mean or rude interactions can trigger negative emotions such as anger, or sadness in both the Sim initiating the interaction and the recipient.
Depending on the recipient Sim’s personality and mood, they may react differently to mean or rude interactions. Some Sims may become angry or retaliate, while others may become sad.
When Sims engage in mean or rude interactions with others, it negatively affects their relationship with that Sim be it friendship or romantic relationships.
Avoid Activities that Boost Positive Emotions
To make your Sim angry, wait until they’re not very happy. Don’t do things that could make them happier, so their other positive feelings don’t get stronger.
In simple terms, avoid activities that boost happiness. For instance, if your Sim enjoys outdoor activities, keep them indoors to prevent them from feeling happier.
View an Angry Painting
Paintings in The Sims 4 can have emotional auras that affect nearby Sims. An angry painting emits an aura that triggers the emotion of anger in Sims who view it.
When Sims view an angry painting, they absorb its emotional aura, which can change their current mood to anger.
Decorate the entire house with angry paintings to keep Sims in a permanent state of anger.
Get a Flirty or Unfaithful Partner
When a Sim notices their partner flirting with another Sim, they usually get angry. This is because they feel hurt and betrayed.
If a Sim finds out their partner is cheating on them, it can make them very angry and may even lead to arguments or breakups.
Poke a Voodoo Doll
Once in possession of a voodoo doll, you can use it to perform actions on other Sims. One of the actions available is to “Poke” the doll.
When you poke the voodoo doll, it inflicts an angry moodlet on the targeted Sim. This moodlet typically lasts for up to four hours.
You can get a voodoo doll by buying it from Madame Zoe or finding it while digging or fishing in Oasis Springs Park.
Noisy Neighbors
Loud neighbors in The Sims 4 can make Sims angry by disturbing their peace with noisy activities like parties or arguing loudly. Living next to noisy neighbors can be a curse.
Sims may react to the noise by complaining to the noisy neighbors, engaging in arguments, or expressing their frustration to others.
Interact With Hot-Headed Sims
Hot-Headed Sims have a shorter fuse and are more prone to getting angry. They can easily trigger anger in other Sims.
Hot-Headed Sims have access to unique angry social interactions that can directly provoke anger in other Sims. Using these interactions repeatedly can push a Sim to become very angry in no time.
Interact With Good Sims if Your Sim is Evil
If your Sim is evil, interacting with good Sims can make them angry.
Evil Sims dislike positive, good-natured behavior. When they interact with Good Sims, who are kind and positive, it makes the Evil Sim angry.
Enable the Cursed Lot or Mean Vibes Lot Traits
The Mean Vibe trait simplifies the process of making other Sims angry through Mean or Mischief interactions. Sims receive the “Mean Vibes” angry moodlet when they’re targeted by mischief interactions.
Lots of things will go wrong on lots with the Curse lot trait. When Sims enter the lot, they might get affected by voodoo.
Their uncomfortable and tense moods last longer, drinking decays their bladder quicker, and they’re more likely to die from electrocution and exhaustion. Fires also happen more often on the lot.
Visit a Lot with Little Decor
Taking your Sims to a nicely decorated room can make them happier. But if you want to make them angry, bring them to a place with little decoration.
For example, take your Sim to an empty room. Just make them stand there and gaze at the empty walls.
Take a Selfie When Angry
Take a picture of your Sim when they’re mad. Later, show them the picture. This can make them mad again.
You can also show them pictures of other Sims who are mad. This can make your Sim mad too.
Make a Red Potion
If you have the Get to Work expansion, you can create a Red potion that makes your Sim angry for a short time using a machine from the pack.
You don’t need to be a scientist to make it. You can find the machine in Build Mode called Chemistry Lab.
It’s initially locked, but you can easily unlock it using a cheat code.

Traits that Make Sims Angry Easily
Some traits such as Hot-Headed, Erratic, High Maintenance and Hates Children can make your Sim angrier than others.
The Hot-Headed trait is ideal for anger. Sims with this trait easily become angry and can provoke other Sims, spreading the anger.
Remember, if a Sim gets too angry, they can become ‘Very Angry’, and then ‘Enraged’. When a Sim reaches this point, they’re at risk of dying from a cardiac explosion due to excessive anger.
So, it’s crucial to manage their anger levels to prevent this outcome.
Or maybe you let nature take its course and watch what happens.
