[FIXED] Photos taken in emotional state give permanent buff

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.54.120.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Take a photo of a sim with an emotional buff, like Flirty, Playful, Confident, Focused, etc. The photo will end up having an emotional buff that you can't turn off like with Paintings or other objects.
What happens when the bug occurs? Buff can't be turned off and causes issues giving everyone a permanent emotional buff while in the area.
What do you expect to see? The ability to disable emotional buff on Photography pictures same as paintings, crystals, and other objects.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Started with the Moschino stuff pack.

‌

When taking photos with the new freelancer Fashion Photography career, if the sim you are taking photos of has an emotional buff, the photos taken will have the same buff.

Now this is a good thing. Problem is, the buff is permanent and cannot be disabled same as with emotional paintings and other objects.

If you post a photo in your house, or studio as you'd expect, everyone around gets a permanent buff as long as they are in the area.

This effects all future photos also. If you post it in your studio, your new photo subject will get the same permanent buff and those new photos will have the same buff.

It causes many problems with having ALL your sims permanently "Playful", "Flirty", and such.

    So I worked really hard on this couple who I had meet in college, fall in love, graduate with honors degrees, get solid jobs, and FINALLY get married. During this time the couple took various photos and they all came out playful. So when they moved into their new house and hung up all their playful photos my girl sim became hysterical...and died....Please fix the bug.

    I am having this problem now too but not in the same way. I do not have the Moschino pack (I've seen elsewhere this is a "feature" in that pack). I had my teenage sim take selfies with her friends and family to put on her wall in her dorm when she went off to college. Most of the pictures have angry buffs, one is focused, and one is playful. She was in neither of these moods when she took the pictures. There is no "disable emotion" on these pics, and sadly she has to put them all back in her inventory!

    Oh, and? The interesting part is that every picture of the same person has the same mood. Is this some subconscious means to tell us how they make her feel?

    I've had this happen without even having the Moschino  pack. I ended up taking the photo off the wall to get rid of the buff. It was getting a little silly and annoying to have an entire family  feeling flirty every single time they were In the living room.  A way to turn off the buff like with paintings and crystals would be nice.

    I'd like to be able to disable emotional buffs from paintings too. I like having artwork up around the house, but it's rather annoying when my sims are constantly flirty or playful because of a little picture on the wall.

    In addition to that, I wish there was a way to turn off Happiness buffs from decorations in settings. My sims shouldn't be happy about their nicely decorated kitchen when they saw their loved die. I like using decorations but I want my sims to feel emotions other than happy too. Maybe having a 'fine' moodlet for decent surroundings instead (or none at all?).
