In the acting career you have 3 tasks to do to prep for your job. Everything is self explanatory and relatively easy to accomplish, but this one Research Angry Emotion isn't working out for me. You're supposed to get into an angry mood and complete mean interactions. I have done this on several sims, but the task isn't updated. It has also messed with my reputation 🤨...Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure how the emotional control trait works, since I don't have Parenthood yet, but does that keep you from getting Angry, period?
Because from what I've tried, you need to be in the Angry emotion, and perform interactions that have a the interaction name with a red-colored segment on the left side.
And to get this done without ruining your friendships/reputation, do object-based interactions.
Thinks like taking an Angry Poop can work, but so does Kicking a trash bin, trying to calm yourself down in the mirror works too.
But the big detail of this is you only get credit for this if you're STILL angry by the time those interactions get completed.
So say you use the mirror to calm yourself down. Make sure you cancel the action ASAP, so you lose the least amount of time on the moodlet.
If you actually finishing calming yourself down, it won't count for credit.
I'm not sure if EVERY red-labeled interaction counts, but if it did, you could probably also do non-mean Angry interactions like Frenzied Kiss.
That wouldn't be the reason. My sim had it as well and was able to do it just fine.

But then you get a bad friendship with the stuffed animal.
but the other happy moodlets are a bit more work to deal with, and mostly come down to timing now. make sure they don't eat anything, let the other moodlets drop, don't let all their motives get too high or too low... a balancing act, which we haven't really had to deal with in the game before, and it really shows.
i do also make judicious use of cowplant essences now, too. thankfully one of my households sells those in their shop
I'm not very ambitious for my Sims, so I rarely complete career tasks.
Once all this is done for the career, does this change your Sim's autonomous behaviour with their own personality to where they go troll the forums or do mean intereactions such as a good Sim then becomes a troll and does mean introductions etc. all the time as they did when the game first game out? I was just wondering if it's worth it, causing a Sim who hasn't been trolling forums or mean interactions into doing these on their own more often when not in the career later?
Thank you, because I had a good Sim a few years ago who I couldn't make stop doing all that stuff. I would hate to think the career would force them into doing all that stuff on their own again.
