No reward store potion to clear grief trait

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.111.102.1030 DX11
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a friend or acquaintance die.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim gets a trait such as anger grief or sad grief. There is no way to get rid of this.
What do you expect to see? There should be a potion in the rewards store for removing grief early.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Since I bought the Life and Death expansion pack.

I thought you were only supposed to get the sad buffs now from grieving a friend or better. I can use a moodlet solver to remove the buff if I choose. I had the principal of my school die of old age and my teenager is experiencing anger grief. I've exercised and keep the moods mostly under control, but she still gets buffs from it. I've only had acquaintances and 1 friend (principal) die, so I'm not sure why she's going through this. I'd like to remove it, but there isn't anything in the rewards store to clear the trait. For story telling purposes, you probably won't grieve every friend's death and in a long running game, so many people die of old age it gets old. There should be a way for me to choose who my sims grieve and who they don't using reward store purchases. You can do this with regular traits, romance dynamics, family dynamics, celebrity quirks, negative buffs, fears, wants, etc. Why not grief states?

  • @CharityCodesLike they said in live stream, grief eventually goes away on its own having a funneral or talking to friends or visiting them by talking to them via their tombstone or memorial picture, calling the sadness hotline can all reduce the grief trait.

    Edit: I mean mourning, that is if you have their tombstone.

    Eventually isn't the same as immediately if you don't want to deal with it. I will be constantly attending funerals and getting rid of grief at this rate and not have any time to ever work on anything else. My sim has so many friends of all ages. With everything else, there is an in game way to remove it immediately with a potion from the satisfaction rewards store. Why isn't there for grief?

    Agreed. The traits.remove_trait isn't working too get rid of it either. I don't even know who died. That's the other ridiculous thing. You get a notification that a friend died..  they don't tell you who. They say go visit the tombstone. They don't tell you where.
