    Does your Sim look bored all the time? Even when you think they are having fun, they look bored to you? Not a problem anymore. It’s been… taken care of.

    Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33

@StarryMight  It's not the new environment changes on my end, either. I have this bug too and I have the environment boost/ changes off in options. It happened immediately upon loading the game in a new save  and sim after the patch, which I also hotfixed.

My Active sim is in an energized mood but bored grumpy. Kinda weird for a pepped up sim,  maybe she needs more coffee. No, wait that's me... 🙂

@sushicrow: LOL, okay, maybe something is glitched about it, then.

    @StarryMight After I played more, the problem came back but it's less than it was. A lot less. I swear, previously, all of my beloved Sims were going to get murdered for being whiny little *ahem* snits. They've had a slight attitude adjustment now but it's far from normal.
    And, before turning that off, Sims acted bored but showed as being happy, focused, etc. Now, they show as bored.
    Playable but not necessarily as enjoyable as before. Hard to love someone who's bored while doing anything.

    Mine still idle bored without being in that mood ; usually happy, flirty, or focused.

    @Abradley745  Yeah, my sim is not bored, either. It's a bored animation glitch and nothing else.

    I forgot to mention this also happens when I have the envirnment thing turned on in options, with rooms that have no added environment (no docked envrionment either) and also plus to Happy environment. I think I forgot...drinking coffee now.

    I agree with @gwenleah  however, watching my sim pretend to be bored doing things he enjoys is really disheartening. Especially when it's his favorite activity or when he's spending time with his husbands or kids. It does make you kind of not want to play.

    My Sim's roommate was also doing the "bored" animation and now she has moved out because "the living conditions were intolerable". I had this roommate for 60+ game-days (aging disabled) and she never complained prior the the June 3rd patch. Even after the patch her mood was "Happy" every time I checked and yet she still moved out. I can't say with 100% certainty that the "bored" idle animation and my roommate's sudden dissatisfaction with my house are definitely related, I'm just guessing on this. I'm told the bored animation might have something to do with some kind of a negative environmental score. Most of my rooms have ample decorations and over-all my house has about 60k Simoleons in upgrades. It's definitely not a starter home.

    EDIT: In case it matters, I do not own the new Eco Lifestyle pack. No mods, no CC.
