I can verify this also happens on PC version 1.60.54.1020. It did not happen in previous versions. Base Game no mods/cc-never used.
In previous versions you could have a sim drink an emotional reward potion, like the inspired potion, gain the 3 hour, +100 emotion moodlet, then save and close the game. When loading the saved game, the moodlet would still be there. Now, the moodlet disappears on save and you've wasted the reward points on the potion.
@PoptartJuniper @BlackjackWidow This seems to happens with the emotion tree berries and the potions you get in the mail if you are a celebrity with that perk (Sorry, can't think oft he name for them atm ) too. All of them are time limited so to speak in how they work.
