At random intervals, Sims will suffer from a +3 Angry moodlet for no apparent reason. This also has background effects on Needs, Skills, and Socials.

At a bit more frequent random intervals, Sims will suffer from a +4 Tense moodlet for no apparent reason. This also has background effects on Needs, Skills, and Socials.

"Tense Sense Sims are quick to Anger and have great difficulty in social situations, therefore they do not have a decaying Social Need.

Hello S4 Modlings! I present to you my first upload: Tense Sense!
This Trait adds 4 unique moodlets which will both challenge and benefit affected Sims. They will randomly gain two powerful negative Moodlets, Tense Stress and Tense Anger, the former more frequently than the latter. If near Sims with which their Friendship is below 60% and Romance is below 30%, the Sim will gain Don't Want To Deal With Them, a powerful negative Moodlet. While in a neutral or positive Mood and free of the aforesaid Moodlets, Sims will gain a very powerful neutral Moodlet, Peace Of Mind.
Due to their cumbersome social difficulties, they have no actual need for social interactions; their Social Need bar will never decrease. There are many other nit-picky details I've attached to all three Moodlets, viewable in the spoilers below.
Tense Stress

- Tense +4, 2.5 hour duration.
- 75% chance at 6-18 hour intervals.
- 50% base chance on Moodlet addition to decrease Manners by 10, chance increased based on Trait Moodlets and negative Mood.
- (Parenthood) All five Life Skills will decrease 25% more per interaction.
- Creative Skills increase 25% slower and are 1 rank less effective. (A skill at rank 6 will act as though it is rank 5)
- Mental Skills increase 30% slower and are 2 ranks less effective.
- Social Skills increase 50% slower and are 1 rank less effective.
- Musical Skills increase 20% slower and are 1 rank less effective.
- Physical and Athletic Skills increase 10% faster and are 1 rank more effective.
- Fun Need decays 10% faster.
- Hygiene Need decays 5% faster.
- Friendship will increase 10% slower and decrease 10% faster per interaction.
- Romance will increase 15% slower and decrease 15% faster per interaction.
- (Parenthood) Authority and Rivalry will increase 10% slower and decrease 10% faster per interaction.
- Sims are more likely to use Angry or negative autonomy interactions.
Tense Anger

- Angry +3, 2.5 hour duration.
- 50% chance at 12-24 hour intervals.
- (Parenthood) 25% base chance on Moodlet addition to decrease Emotional Control by 10, chance increased based on Trait Moodlets and negative Mood.
- (Parenthood) All five Life Skills will decrease 25% more per interaction.
- Creative Skills increase 25% slower and are 2 ranks less effective.
- Mental Skills increase 30% slower and are 2 ranks less effective.
- Social Skills increase 50% slower and are 2 ranks less effective.
- Musical Skills increase 20% slower and are 1 rank less effective.
- Physical and Athletic Skills increase 10% faster and are 2 ranks more effective.
- Fun Need decays 10% faster.
- Hygiene Need decays 5% faster.
- Friendship will increase 10% slower and decrease 10% faster per interaction.
- Romance will increase 15% slower and decrease 15% faster per interaction.
- (Parenthood) Authority and Rivalry will increase 10% slower and decrease 10% faster per interaction.
- Sims are more likely to use Angry or negative autonomy interactions.
Don't Want To Deal With Them

While Active:
- Proximity Buff; will activate when near any Sim(s) with less than 60% Friendship OR 30% Romance that is not part of your household.
- Continuous Staged Buff; Moodlet duration will continue to increase as long as you are in range of triggering Sims.
- 60 minute grace period before triggering and adding the Moodlet, but Moodlet will persist until timer expires.
- If the Sim gets back in range of a trigger Sim, Moodlet will continue increasing again instantly. (No grace period until expiration)
- Moodlet has 9 Stages, each one Sim-hour; Moodlet increases 33% faster than it decreases. (40 Sim-minutes per Stage when increasing)
- Each Stage makes the Moodlet more intense; from Tense +1 to +6, then changes to Angry +4, +7, and finally +10.
- The Moodlet will stage downward, too! Each stage lasts 60 Sim-minutes, but is affected by anti-Tense interactions.
- Fun Need decays 10% faster.
Peace Of Mind

- Fine +3, Active Buff. Moodlet will appear any time the Sim is in a neutral/positive mood AND does not have any Trait debuff Moodlets.
