How Angry levels change your skill gain
The basic Angry state starts as soon as Angry becomes your Sim's top emotion. At this first level, your Sim gets a 0.8 multiplier to creative, mental, and Charisma skill gain. At the same time, Mischief skill gain gets a 1.2 multiplier.
When your Sim's total Angry weight reaches 3, the mood upgrades to Very Angry. This drops the skill gain multiplier for creative, mental, and Charisma skills to 0.6. If the total weight reaches 7, your Sim becomes Enraged, which drops those three skill multipliers to 0.4.
The Mischief skill boost stays at 1.2 across the Angry, Very Angry, and Enraged levels. These hidden multipliers multiply together with any other active effects on your Sim.
How to get or remove Angry moodlets
You can make a Sim Enraged right away with high-weight moodlets from specific packs. The Worked So Hard moodlet from Romantic Garden Stuff adds a weight of 99 for 4 hours. Parenthood has the I'm Not Okay moodlet, which adds a weight of 50 for 6 hours.
In the base game, Left at the Altar gives a weight of 5 for 2 days. Cats and dogs also have their own Angry moodlets in the Cats & Dogs pack. Interactions like Provoke, Pet, Offer Friendship, or Give Catnip Treat can trigger these pet moodlets for 1 hour or 4 hours.
A timed moodlet disappears on its own when its timer runs out in Sim time. A moodlet without a timer stays active as long as its cause lasts. You can also remove a specific moodlet in Live mode by turning on testingcheats true and using the sims.remove_buff cheat.
