Shorten Mourning Period

I'm playing in an overstuffed house with pets and a bunch of small animals. Animals and Elders die. I understand that. It's part of the circle of life. Unfortunately, with so many sims in the house, loosing a bird, then a dog, then a lizard, then grandpa, then turtle, then . . . you get the idea. My Sims seem to be in a constant state of mourning. Is there a way to shorten the Mourning period?

I know I can use the moodlet manager or testingCheatsEnabled true and Ctrl+click to remove the moodlet, but that feels a little cold and cruel. Mourning in appropriate, but, with so many Sims, I need it to be shorter.

    They can console and cheer up other sims to lessen the moodlet, but that's all I know.

    @MadDoctor61 Give all, or some of, your sims the Stone Hearted Lifetime reward.

    The Cheaty McCheaterson way of doing it. CTRL-Shift Click on the moodlet is pretty much the only way that you can still do a short period of mourning then cut it off. There may be a way of doing it via NRAAS Retuner, but I'm not sure on that.

    Just checked. https://www.nraas.net/community/chatterbox/topic2745 - not possible without s3pe and adjusting the Buffs XML which isn't accessible through Retuner.

    @popstarsley - Sorry, but as you mention the emotion system that sounds like a TS4 thing? This is the TS3 section of the forum, where we don't have that particular feature to work through. :)
