[FIXED] Photos taken in emotional state give permanent buff

I really like the fact that when I take a photo of a sim who's in an emotional state, like "Flirty", the photo ends up with a level 6 "Flirty" buff. Same with Confident, Focused, Playful, etc.

The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't turn it off. The Emotional buff is always active. And since it's a level 6, it's causing issues. I can't put one of those photos in my sim's living room or else everyone's in a constant state of "Very Flirty".

It effects all new photos as well. If I take a photo of a sim who happens to be Playful, all the photos end up giving everyone "Very Playful".  If I post the pic in the Studio as you would expect, then ALL photos after that end up with the Playful buff.

We need the ability to Disable the emotional state on these photos.

@Psychotps I think that's a great suggestion. :eahigh_file: I also think you should be able to disable the emotional aura, as this would be very inconvenient in many circumstances, as in the one you describe. 

@Psychotps Aaaahhhh... I will 'Me Too' your report then, and I will have this post merged with that Bug Report, then. Thanks for letting us know! :eahigh_file:

@Psychotps  I've merged your other thread into your bug report.

I've got this bug too.

I have the same issue happening in my game. There are some other bugs too but this one bugs me the most. Ha! I was so happy about the possibility to decorate house with photos my sim has been taking and now I can't use them at all in my game, because otherwise my sims are constantly flirty and it's getting creepy. I want to be able to switch off the aura.

I know, right?

It's like I usually start the game getting a postcard from a pen-pal 'cause the postcard always has the inspirational buff. I place one in the kitchen or near the computer so when I'm cooking or writing on the computer, they cook better, write better, and increase the skill faster.

However, if I have one of the "Emotional Photos" in the room, it overpowers everything else and makes them all useless.

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE having the emotional buff, but if we can't turn it off, it's a lot more of a problem than a benefit.

This just started on PS4 also. The photos didn't actually give off an aura before even though they said they had an emotional ambience. Now they do and can't be turned off. On PS4, at least in my games these auras cause very bad AI delay as the auras change, the Sims get frozen waiting for the new aura or waiting for an old aura to drop. It's very frustrating. 

From level 3 of career fashion photographer, there is an option "edit photo" on the PC as a career bonus, with which one supposedly can transform the emotions.

ATTENTION. Save before you try it. At the first attempt ... nothing happens! The second attempt results in an accident report (just like the analysis samples on Sulani) and the photo has disappeared from the sim inventory (like Inventory after analysis samples on Sulani).

That happens every time. Somehow a bad Deja vue ...
