    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

To me it makes perfect sense that Sims would have negative reactions to areas with low environment scores, such as lots or neighborhoods full of smog, trash, etc. What does not make sense is that Sims would have the same reaction to nicely decorated rooms and houses with no smog or trash at all. My Sim is living in Willow Creek and I do not even own the new Eco Lifestyle pack so obviously there is no smog and I was keeping the house clean.

Maybe they got the new environmental scoring system wrong or it requires the new Eco Lifestyle pack for it to work right?

@RandomBuzziness "What does not make sense is that Sims would have the same reaction to nicely decorated rooms and houses with no smog or trash at all." Actually there is a positive reaction as well. They use some type of 'inspired' idle. As posted later here - I made an override tuning that disables both positive and negative idles from environment reaction. Athena, I believe is correct and they over/under tuned these reactions in the patch.

    Is anyone still having this problem because I sure am. My Sims don't show the bored mood but act bored & their mood is rarely anything but "fine". Even my cheerful, outgoing Sims are "fine".
    It's affecting their relationships with friends and new acquaintances as well as job performance and everything else. It's gotten to the point that I'm not playing my main game, I made a branch off with the same characters because it's ruining things. It happens everywhere - homes, friend's houses, ROM, nightclubs, etc. It started immediately after the patch that was put out after the upgrade. I experience it with and without the updated MCC Command, which is the only mod I have. I've repaired my game thru Origin, to no avail.
    I have the switch shut off in Options & I don't have the new Eco Lifestyle.

      @gwenleah This entire thread is. However, if you're interested in fixing it with a mod... I have done so (search YourFalseHope on patreon - it's free, can't post links on this forum). It seems to be based on the over/under tuning of the environmental scoring. There are 2 idle in which can occur - a positive (shows as inspired idle animation) or negative (shows as bored idle). If you don't want to use a mod to fix it - you'll need to wait for EA to maybe look into fixing it...

        @Abradley745 I did install your mod. It didn't seem to help but will try again.
