Lagos Life Needs Bars and Mood Guide
The six needs bars in Lagos Life, what green means, and how to keep your Sim happy. Plus what we have not been able to verify yet.
Your Sim has six needs bars, and the game's own advice is simple: green bars make a happy Sim.
The six bars
| Bar | What it tracks |
|---|---|
| 🍛 Food | Hunger |
| ⚡ Energy | Tiredness |
| 🎉 Fun | Entertainment |
| 💬 Social | Time with other players |
| 🫧 Hygiene | Staying clean, for example with a bucket or shower |
| 🚽 Bladder | Toilet breaks |
Mood
The top of the screen shows your mood, for example "Very Happy". It reflects how your bars are doing.
Working around your needs
Shifts last one hour and can be worked any time. That means you can fit work around your needs rather than the other way round. If a bar is low, fix it, then clock in.
What we have not verified
- Whether a low mood changes your pay or promotion chances.
- How fast each bar drops.
- Which venues restore which bar. The map has many (Beach, Mama Bisi's Salon, Amala Shitta and more), but we have not recorded the effects.
When we confirm these they will appear here and on the updates page. New to the game? Start with how to play.
