–Game Description | ||
This is an older mood menu.
Moods (sometimes referred to as Motives or Needs) are a variety of four statistics that fluctuate based on the player's actions and status effects and can be viewed from the Moods menu on the bottom right of the screen. There is also a notch on the top of the screen reflecting a player's current mood.
All Moods will lower passively at a steady rate. In Version 0.7.0, being near a friend will cause all moods to decrease at a slower rate.
The current in-game moods menu. Instead of ">" to indicate the increase of stats it uses the "+" sign.
Currently, there are four moods in the game: hunger, fun, energy, and hygiene.
Effects
| Mood | If Mood is High | If Mood is Low |
|---|---|---|
| Hunger | Other moods decrease at a slow rate | Other moods decrease at a fast rate |
| Fun | Higher pay at work | Lower pay at work |
| Energy | Default Movement Speed | Reduced Movement Speed and the player will look down as if they hadn't gotten enough sleep. |
| Hygiene | No Stink Gas and Flies. | Stink Gas and Flies surround the player, causing them to swat the flies with their hands, showing a "Swatting Flies" Status Effect. |
Contrary to popular belief, players will not die if all Moods reach 0%. However, the player will walk slower, emit stink gas and flies, and receive much less pay at their job. Because of this, it is highly recommended to keep Mood moderately high at all times, or at least when working.
Moods can also be increased via the "Boost Mood" button available in the Moods menu, which costs B$25 However, this option is only available if at least one of the player's mood gauges is below 50%.
Emotions
The new mood position at the top of the screen.
Since Version 0.7.2, the mood emoticon is in the shape of a notch displaying a single word to match a player's mood in the game. This would also include various colors depending on the mood.
The Old Emotions Position before 0.7.2
This serves as a simple method of determining mood without looking at the Moods menu.

Trivia
- If moods overlap, the one shown is the most recently triggered mood.
- Having higher moods substantially increases pay during work.
- If one of the mood bars goes below 80%, players will receive the same amount of money, as if they had full mood bars on their last rank. (For example, if a player got paid $30 for their last promotion and $33 on their current, they will only receive $30 instead of $33).
- If a player has low energy, swimming becomes extremely difficult and slow.
- Hunger is the fastest draining mood, while Hygiene is the slowest.
- The "Walking Dead" emotion (very low energy) got replaced with the "Exhausted" emotion.
- This is most likely a reference to (the real life) AMC's "The Walking Dead" television show.
- All moods can be increased without a house.
- In newer versions of the game, the mood is displayed as a notch.
- When in Build Mode, your mood doesn't change and is stuck in a frozen state.
- There are currently 2 mood menus.
