The Sims 4 Playful Emotion
How to Make Your Sims Very Playful
Very Playful
Playful Mood It's very easy for Sims who are Childish to get Very Playful (by playing with Toys), as well as Goofballs (random Moodlets for Playful). This is one of few positive Emotions that have more than just two stages - you can go beyond Very Playful all the way to Hysterics. Sims that go into hysterics can die from laughter when they hear a joke, so do Calm Self Down by using a Mirror if necessary to save your Sim's life! Dying from laughter is pretty funny though.

My sim is playful because of playful decor, but theres no playful decor around. Its driving me crazy. Shes having all these emotions from decor but theres no decor in my house!!!!!!
It might be an item in the world that is giving off a playful aura. Or maybe something that is in the garden maybe? Did you download the house from the Gallery? The other thing it might be is a playful moodlet from watching comedy on the T.V. this can happen even if your sim does not have the Goofball trait. Also the lump of clay can make a sim playful depending on the shape they make with it and once it is placed on a surface (and not being held by the sim) it will give off an environment aura.
Thanks for all the wonderful guides over the years! I have discovered, quite by accident, a new moodlet not in the guide. If your bathtub has the "Jet" upgrade, a child can choose to play in the jets and receive a +2 Playful moodlet for four hours.
I think you'll find there are many moodlets not listed in the formal guides. There are just too many to list! We have a list that is on-going on the forum. Even that doesn't have everything! Have a read a leave and post on the thread if you have found any more. It would be amazing to have a complete list. Emotions and Item/Actions That influence Them
No the Playful Essence is gained from feeding a sim who is in the playful emotion to a cow plant and then milking the cow plant gives you the playful essence drink.
Oh! I see! Sorry that you did all that as there is totally no playful potion from being a Master Mixologist! I will make sure Carl fixes that asap. The Playful Potion listed there doesn't exist in the game anymore.
I've noticed that the coffee machine doesn't give my sims any moodlets anymore. Not sure if it's intentional or not. I've only tried it at my own house and not out in the world - might be just my lot, but it would be interesting to know if anyone else has noticed this.

Calling all Blender Users
Blender has been incredibly useful in video production, so I made my own Physics and Simulation Improvement Addon that lumps a ton of unique tools into one compact interface.
Sims 4 Snowy Escape
The Sims 4 Snowy Escape launches November 13, 2020 and my coverage has started. Until I get my review ready, you can learn about the following:
There is a new platform tool in The Sims 4. There's also a new Sentiments system, but it'll take some time to create a guide to that. Players can also use rental lots in any world now by changing lot types of builds in manage worlds.
Best Mods in Sims 4
I've created a massive List of The Best Mods in The Sims 4 that should be very helpful to new players and those who have not yet explored modding and how much it can do for your gameplay.
Readers who use adblock or those who'd like to thank me for my efforts can now pledge $1/$5 monthly via Patreon. This helps a lot with server costs and provides some stability for my business.
I now have a guide page to Tiny Living Stuff where you can learn about Murphy Beds, the new death, as well as the lot bonuses you'll receive if you manage to keep the size of your lot down with this new pack's Tiny Home Lot Type.
Let's Play Playlist
New I now have a guide to Making Super Sims in The Sims 4. Look for a text version within the next 72h. It won't have THAT much more info but it will help out as a checklist.
This was inspired by a series, "Let's Play a Super Sim" in which I start at toddler and gradually take on the major bonuses. Here's a link to each part for people who are interested. You can also see the Let's Play as a Playlist on Youtube.
The Sims 4 Discover University has been announced for November 15 for PC/Mac and December 17 for Xbox and Playstation 4 consoles. Click to learn more about the pack, see my summary of the livestream or read our FAQs below.
