Edit on my last comment: With the fireplace off, the hidden buff and moodlet will *not be acquired so it is working properly, for non occults at least. Vampires I would need to double check the tuning and see if it blacklists Emotionally Dampened. I remember the music and some of the other files did and were working according to the tuning.
I never made a bug report. I just stopped using the fireplace. My sim doesnt actually feel the weather effects so I was just turning it on for winter roleplay ambience. I hadnt tested other fireplaces so it could just be the one I was using. Im not really sure if it is a bug, more of an oversight and forgetting to add Emotionally Dampened to the blacklist for the acquisition of the buff from certain sources.
I don't use mods at all. The only time I used mods is when I made them myself. I think the person with the complaint uses mods. I never get the emotionally mindful Moodlet unless I have my Sim try Wellness activities. They didn't state what activities they are doing. My Sim doesn't get the Moodlet from going to work.
