A few questions for you:
- Does the bored moodlet have a timer on how long it would last?
- If it does have a timer, does it reapply when it expires?
- Does anything happen when you do something that would make a Sim "not bored"? (In this case, does "scaring" the Sims do anything since the plot trait was removed?)
Possible Solutions:
1) Repairing game files
2) Using console commands to remove moodlets
- If on PC, press "Ctrl + Shift + C", if on console, press all four shoulder buttons
- Type "testingcheats true" (without the quotes) into the command box and hit enter
- Type "sims.remove_all_buffs" (without the quotes) into the command box and hit enter
This will remove all the moodlets on the current active Sim. (It should also help if any other moodlet is somehow bugged as well).
However, if you only want to remove the bored moodlet, you can try "sims.remove_buff social_bored" or "sims.remove_buff e_buff_bored" instead, but I'm not sure if these are the same moodlet debuffs used by the Scare Seeker lot trait.
Let me know if either solution had worked for you.
Yes it has a timer, I think it lasts for 3-4 hours.
It does not immediately reapply after expiring, but it eventually comes back.
I've tried doing the "scare" mischief interaction on a sim with the moodlet but it doesn't solve it as far as I can tell
I've tried cheating the moodlet away but it eventually comes back again. And I don't want to get rid of all moodlets every time it pops up; that would be way more annoying than having one bored moodlet sometimes.
I have the same issue!

If you don’t mind, I’ll reply to your questions too:
- Doing the same interactions and conversation repeatedly? No. It just appears randomly.
- Doing anything else that would make the Sim feel bored, (such as having a Sim with level 4 cooking read a bunch of level 1 cooking books)? No.
- Does the Sim have any other trait that might cause them to be bored? No.
- Were they getting bored before the lot trait was added, or was it only noticable afterwards? No, only after adding the lot trait.
- Do they have any other moodlets or is the boredom moodlet the only one applying? More moodlets. The boredom moodlet was the first and overpowered the other positive moodlets he had. The only boredom moodlet he had was related with the lot trait.
Do you know what this trait is meant to do?
My sim only got bored and I randomly received books from people with the message “Thank you for the scare”. My sims didn't interact with them.
Thank you 😊
