Regarding Collectibles (For base game only.) I also didn't test cloned collectibles and ones bought from a retail lot. I didn't test elements acquired from the analyzer. I didn't test metals and crystals that can be obtained from science career co-workers. I only tested collectibles my Sim found. MySims Trophies: I tested most of the MySims trophies. I discovered all MySims trophies give off a playful emotional aura of 3. The only one I didn't test is Violet. All give off the correct emotional aura in my game. @greenxen Crystals: I tested all crystals except Amerthyst and Jet. I discovered the crystals have either an energizing emotional aura of 2 or 3. The either the crystals or text description of the crystals are bugged. The crystals with an emotional aura of 2 in the description are giving off an emotional aura of 3. The crystals with an emotional aura of 3 in the description are giving off an emotional aura of 2. The emotional aura in the description and the one the crystals actually give off don't match. Fish: I tested all mounted fish execept Wolf Eel, AnglerFish, Batfish, and Piranha. I discovered all mounted fish give off an emotional aura of 2, 3, or 4. Mounted fish give the emotional aura but don't have the menu option to enable/disable the aura. All fish give the aura listed in the description except the Gummy and the "Captain Fishbones" Bonefish. Both of these fish have an emotional aura of 2 in the description but they give off an emotional aura of 3. This needs to be fixed. @Crystal_Talian Space Prints: I tested all of the prints in the collection. I discovered that all space prints are supposed to give off an confident emotional aura of 7. The following prints actually give off an emotional aura of 2 so you will need more than one of them to benefit from the aura: Standard Space, I Dream of Pleiosaur, Seeing Red, Star Crossed Lovers, Big Star, Cloudy Vision, Animal Planet, Out of This World, End of Time, Rosie the Riueting. Surfacing, Bottle Stars, and Twinkle give off an emotional aura of 3. EA needs to either fix the emotional aura level for these prints or the description. None of the prints are giving off the correct emotional aura. Elements: I tested most of the elements. I discovered all elements give off a focusing emotional aura of 3. The only ones I didn't test are Oxypin, Plathium, Cytacoo, and Plumbobus. All give off the correct emotional aura in my game. Postcards: I tested all of the postcards. I discovered all postcards give off an inspiring emotional aura of 3. All give off the correct emotional aura in my game. @pisces_foo Microscope Prints: I tested all of the microscopic prints. I discovered all prints are supposed to give off a focusing emotional aura of 3, 4, 6, or 9. All of the prints give off an emotional aura of 2 except Leaf Meat and Crystal Place. These prints are giving off an emotional aura of 3. None of the prints are giving off the correct emotional aura.

Regarding Career Rewards @glamafonic @Sentaku @TheR286 @luthienrising Milton Word Processor reward only has an emotional aura of 2. Objects need an emotional aura of 3 or more to give a moodlet. The object works fine in my game when I place two of them. Have you tried placing two of them in your game? @nualla_6109 The Stainless Steel Auto Pot has been fixed. there is no longer an option to enable an emotional aura. @Lulzes Can you please let me know what energized objects you have in the room? @TridiannComputer Hard Drive reward only has an emotional aura of 2. Objects need an emotional aura of 3 or more to give a moodlet. The object works fine in my game when I place two of them. Have you tried placing two of them in your game? @hedgekat It seems like The Sentinel, Astro Model Rocket, Stack of CDs, Hidden Bookcase Door, Door of Perception, and Captain Rodrigo de Pablo Cask have bugs. The emotional aura in the text which is 2 is wrong or the aura the object is giving off the wrong which is 3. @greenxen Duffle o' Bag reward only has an emotional aura of 2. Objects need an emotional aura of 3 or more to give a moodlet. The object works fine in my game when I place two of them. Have you tried placing two of them in your game? Regarding the hover text: This text appears on all aura objects after you enable them and you hover over the "disable" option. The objects still give off their respective emotional auras. It might be a textual error. You should probably add this to your texual error post. Nerves of Steel Desk Lamp reward only has an emotional aura of 2. Objects need an emotional aura of 3 or more to give a moodlet. The object works fine in my game when I place two of them. Have you tried placing two of them in your game? @dolldrms1 Rock of Ages Retro Stereo reward only has an emotional aura of 2. Objects need an emotional aura of 3 or more to give a moodlet. The object works fine in my game when I place two of them. Have you tried placing two of them in your game? Umber Kitchen Sink reward only has an emotional aura of 2. Objects need an emotional aura of 3 or more to give a moodlet. The object works fine in my game when I place two of them. Have you tried placing two of them in your game?

Merged all the threads in here. I've ask Grant about this and he said that you should not need to use it for it to work but only the most powerful one does. So if you have more than one object, you need to disable the rest. In my own experience it sometimes takes a moment to kick in too.

As reported in another thread (http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Hi-easel-give-focus-now-not-inspired-mood/m-p/5008030#M18003) the Pre-Owned Painter's Easel gives off a focus moodlet instead of inspired. This the description of the easel: When enabled, my Sims should have a moodlet change because it is has an inspiring level greater than two. My Sim ends up with the focused moodlet:

The Diligent Doctor's Desk gives off a focused moodlet when two are in the same room. The description of the object doesn't state it gives off an emotional aura: Each desk gives off an emotional aura of 2.: There is no option to enable/disable the emotional aura. Same for the Out of This World Desktop. It emits a focused aura of 8.

The space prints from the observatory are not giving off the Focused aura either. The are the only objects with emotional auras in my rooms, but there is no focused buff from them.
I'm not sure about the status of other items in this thread, but I wanted to add that these are having the issue as well.

Issue

Rock of Ages Retro Stereo doesn't give off emotional aura

Steps you took for Issue to occur

Listened, danced, just stood by stereo.

Picture

None Taken

Where does the bug occur ?

Happening on two lots, both in Newcrest. Haven't tested other worlds. One received as career reward and one was in a house downloaded from the gallery. Both houses contain other emotional aura objects but they are disabled. The other objects do work, however, as I have enabled and disabled them successfully. Two of the other objects are TS3 reward lamps and the other is a found crystal. They work as intended but the Rock of Ages stereo doesn't.

Mods/CC

Completely vanilla game. No cc or mods ever used.

Expansion Packs/Game Packs/Stuff Packs

All released to date.

Occurring since

Unknown. First time trying this particular stereo.

Operating system

i5-4570 @ 3.2GHz; Nvidia GTX650; Windows 10

An update to my original bug report.
Since I was in a household with the Rock of Ages stereo I thought I would check to see if maybe the emotional aura was working after the 2/4/16 patch. It wasn't but as I was getting ready to disable it I noticed the little tool tip indicated the object had to be viewed for the moodlet to work.
I don't have an option to "view" a stereo. Am I supposed to? If not, I would say that accounts for the inability of the object to emit its emotional aura and only EA can fix that.
Pic attached.
