    I keep getting dazed when my Sim is working on the Vet Station making Treats. It never used to do this until Growing Together.

    Kind regards James.

    A toggle would be good but I think the feature itself is just too sensitive. I'm finding that if I work on work-related skills on non-weekend off-hours or forget to turn off "work hard" for even a day, I'll get the dazed moodlet (which I've discovered I have only just enough time to get rid of by the next workday, assuming I hardcore focus on opposite skills). Daily task? Forget it. So my choices are to do the opposite of what would get my Sim promoted, take a vacation day literally every week, or suffer from the burnout.

    I feel like there's already enough in the game to discourage me from playing rabbithole careers, and I didn't need yet another thing to make me avoid it.

    I suppose I could set up my holiday calendar to give my Sims a day off work in the middle of each week, but that seems excessive too.
