It seems like the issue has been resolved. My Sims just returned from their vacation to Granite Falls and after 2 Sims days, the moodlet/buff goes away. - JTL 01/14/2018
I have been having this glitch since the game pack was released and it does not only happen if i leave vacation early. I never leave vacation early and all of my sims who have the "loves the outdoors" trait have this problem. I recently left a vacation early with a sim who had that trait and she didn't get the permanent moodlet. In fact since the manual removal of the buff doesn't work leaving my vacations early seems to be the only workaround that works for me.
If you left vacation early, you still need to actually wait for the vacation duration to expire before the refreshed moodlet can appear.
- if you exit and reload the game, maybe it will appear immediately (not tested)?
To remove the Homesick (sad) moodlet, have you tried removing "buff_CampingForest_HomeSick" manually?
I assume that's the (sad) moodlet you are referring to because there are a number of other sad moodlets.
I think certain traits have a lower tolerance to Homesickness because there are 3 levels (Low, Med, High) which you can tune.
I haven't figured out what traits are more prone to Homesickness though.
I have left vacation early and waited the next day till the "rejuvenated" appeared and then kept playing until it timed out and went away. Then I quit and reload and it's back. And the timer has restarted to 48 hours. This is what happens with every sim that has the "loves the outdoors" trait every time i go on vacation. But if i send them home early they don't even get a "rejuvenated" moodlet at all.
The tuning must be messed up because the Homesick moodlet does not appear to relate to traits at all in my game. When i send a family of 8 sims with varying traits they always gets the Homesick moodlet on their second vacation. The only exception to this if if they DO have the "loves the outdoors" trait. Every other sim will always be sad (Homesick). I haven't tried to manually remove it yet because since it affects my entire family it's verrry tedious to type for every sim one by one every time i go on vacation. This also happens on every save.

Apologies, I kinda stopped playing my outdoor Sims family for sometime...
I meddled with it some more. IMO, here's likely what happened:
Each visit to Granite fall will set a "flag" or a tracker if you like: commodity_Motive_CampingForest_Refreshed for each Sim.
Once this reaches a value of 100, you will get the following:
😇 buff_CampingForest_Refreshed <- this is for Sims without "Love Outdoors" trait
(b) buff_CampingForest_LovesOutdoors_Rejuvenated <- this is for Sims who has "Love Outdoors" trait
Let's call them buff😇 and buff(b) respectively.
Problem 1:
The xml tuning file for buff😇 has an extra step to remove the flag once the buff expires. Unfortunately, buff(b) doesn't.
So long as this flag exists, the rejuvenated buff will always appear. This you have reproduced thru your extensive testing. So, this means Sims with "Love Outdoors" trait are going to get this buff every now and then. Maybe this is intended by design. However, if it is a problem to your gameplay even with console cheat workarounds to remove the buffs then I think you need a tuning mod - if you are not allergic to using mods in your game.
Problem 2:
@This is what this thread was originally about. Sims without the "Love Outdoors" trait are supposed to have that commodity flag removed once the buff expires. For some reason, this doesn't happen for some Sims. Originally, I thought it was due to ending the vacation early but currently, I can't reproduce it consistently ... so pending @Mielosh's input.
Problem 3:
Issues with the Sad moodlets. I think that deserves another thread since it's a different topic 😕mileywink:
