[LD] Sim still has ghost moodlets and ability from Temp Ghost

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English

What is your current game version number? 1.110.294.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim use the baleful bog to have an out of body experience and then wait to turn back human.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim has "ghostly entrance" power and keeps getting death moodlet
What do you expect to see? Sims to not get ghost/death related moodlets and power when they're alive
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

So i was doing the Essence-tials favor for the Ghost Host member Esther Gomes and one task requires to become a temporary ghost. I chose to do the baleful bog to get an out of body experience and it worked well. But when i got to work in the reaper career that was the time my temporary ghostness stopped and so i continued playing to complete the favor, but i noticed that i kept getting the death moodlet, when i had my sim become a temp ghost they got the death by embarrassment moodlet and i'm still getting it even after he's turned become alive again. I don't know if the turning back alive thing bugged like normal or is it because i turned back to normal during my work hours on the reaper job.

I've tried saving and restarting my game but my sim still has the moodlet pop up every now and then making him embarrassed from dying.

    After sims have the Out of Body Experience at the Baleful Bog, if the death assigned was an emotional death, the associated moodlet keeps being applied after the experience has worn off. It appears to be permanent. I tried using MCCC after having the issue and it did not show any hidden traits that would be responsible for the bug.

  • Hello, I have the same but my sim turned into a ghost due to the game of chance at the Thinned Festiveil, and she now gets a sad Eternal Heartbreak moodlet several times a day.

    Unfortunately it didn’t work for me. Hope someone else will!

  • Same problem. Sim became a ghost thru the Game of Chance and keeps getting the "embarrassed" moodlet associated with dying of embarrassment.

    Merfolk Sim's Hydration Need now refers to Merfolk Ghost's Apparition Hydration after becoming a temporary ghost through Game of Chance.

  • Same problem here. One of my Sims had an out-of-body experience via the Baleful Bog and even though they're corporeal again, they keep getting the Eternal Heartbreak moodlet.

  • I have a sim with maxed Medium skill who became a temporary ghost and began getting the "Ghostly Anger" moodlet after becoming a temporary ghost. She'd been able to become a ghost successfully multiple times prior to that without anything sticking around.

    I've tried becoming changing lots, restarting the game, and becoming a temporary ghost again but that hasn't resolved anything. She is in the Reaper career, but was off the job when she turned into a ghost and turned back.

    Edit: after reading that someone was able to get the moodlets to go away by equipping a ghost trait, I tried that. The recommended traits didn't work, so I tried equipping trait_ghost_anger, since the moodlet I kept getting was tied to that one, and then made myself a plate of ambrosia to eat. So far this seems effective.
