EA Staff (Retired)We're not seeing them "instantly" collapse on our end, for anyone seeing that could you possibly share a save file where you've seen it occur? You can DM me the link to your save, thanks so much!

You need to run complex games where lots of things are happening at same time and influencing changes in moods etc. If you're playing a new save and trying to find issue there, your two moodlets won't collapse...you need like 8 or 15 moodlets going on at once and have them getting influenced by other sims around you as well as loads of different items that affect mood. THEN you will see the moodlet bar collapse when you try to see what's going on at end of it - when you try to click the very long bar open.
And even this isn't a constant. This is just an issue that happens often and only during lots of chaos. Which complex games will often have.
What seems to be happening is all the chaos, sims, and various buff and debuffs are flipping the moodlets around both in their location on bar and in amount they are getting affected by these other factors.
What needs to be happening is the chaos and moodlet volatility does not affect the ability of this moodlet bar to stay open when clicked.
On console (Xbox series S) so can't share saves but FYI this is also happening to notifications too and has been for a while. So maybe linked?
It only shows one old notification just as it often only shows one moodlet and I have to click on both to expand. New notifications cause it to flicker but it doesn't change to the new one. I assumed at first that it was by design but possibly not as I guess it's not the intention for us to keep pausing gameplay to read notifications and click on all the moodlets to identify what they are.
