Object Auras[]
These are items found, bought, or earned in the game that can emit an inspiring aura in the area around the object. Players can choose to enable or disable the aura at any time. Once enabled, a Sim can interact with the object, through viewing or using it, and they will earn an inspired moodlet. Whether their mood changes to inspired or not depends on the other moodlets affecting the Sim at that time.

Trivia[]
- Internally, Very Inspired is referred to as "Imaginative".
- Using a laser pointer while Inspired will make the light match the emotion's color and take on the shape of a butterfly.
- When Cross-stitching with a Sim, their action icon will be highlighted when Inspired. However, if a Sim is in a Focused mood the skill bar above a Sims head will highlight instead. This may be a glitch as it seems Inspired Sims gain skill faster in Cross-stitch.
Description (Look)[]
An inspired sim looks like a happy person, putting a finger near their mouth as a sign of think. A very inspired sim from afar may look like crying from happiness, but the Sim is not really crying.
