Effect On Happiness Guide





The reasons for Sim happiness are numerous and can change dramatically between different wealth classes and different zone types. In general, while low wealth units tend to be rather lenient with your conduct as a mayor, high wealth units demand better services and love to complain about anything and everything.





(Note: "Worry" indicates that people will complain about the cause but there will be no decrease in happiness.)
