Re: [FIXED] [GF] Removing quirk - Sim behaves as still there

I tested this:

Made a sim Notable Newcomer celebrity level 1 that unlocks a quirk ability; entertained them with the mobile phone until they got the quirk Phone Fanatic, and let them have that for one day. Next day gave them the Reward Quirk B-gone potion; played them for a sim-week, on full autonomy, gave them actions sometimes. No autonomous phone interactions.
Gave them the quirk Phone Fanatic again; played them for a sim-week. They played with their phone several times a day; and while doing other things: talking, sitting by the computer. They got a moodlet with a couple of hours intermission: Separation Anxiety. The moodlet only disappeared after player directed phone interactions; not the autonomous ones.

I then gave them the potion Quirk B-gone again, and played them for a week. One day they autonomously chose Browse Web on the phone 4 times; otherwise not at all.

The moodlet Separation Anxiety only appeared when having the quirk Phone Fanatic, not after being fed the potion. 

While having the quirk Phone Fanatic, the autonomous action to fiddle with the phone is not visible as such in the action queue.

The autonomus action to Browse Web the second week (after the potion) was visible in the action queue.

Did the same routine with the quirk: Public Number. The potion worked there too: no fan texts, no moodlets.

Since interactions on the phone, player directed and autonomous, are possible for sims, regardless of celebrity level and quirks; I suggest anyone who still think their sim plays with their phone too much to look in the action queue field to confirm if it is a fame quirk idle or an ordinary phone interaction.

    @DonroaAkashu Thanks for testing. This was mostly about the moodlet itself so I'm going to cautiously mark this as fixed.

    If anyone still sees this, let me know.

    @DonroaAkashuIn my (console) game moodlets/buffs only come back after CAS/loading save. Did you test this as well?

    @crinrict  You are welcome, anything to make you happy! 🙂

    @kusurusu  When testing I exited the game, cleared the caches, and loaded the save again, several times. I play on PC; and did not test on console (do not have it). But if you would test I think those playing on console would be grateful for the addition, in case it is different.

    @DonroaAkashu bug still exists on console (we don't have the modular stairs update yet) but thanks for confirming
