Please make burnout optional
Please make the burnout "feature" something we can toggle on/off in the settings. I hate it. It has drastically damaged my ability to enjoy this game. I don't want realism, I want to have fun playing...

I agree, and my sims don't only get it from "work hard" but also for example when painting. I do know you can be a freelance painter, but when I mean painting as a relaxing hobby, they still get the fog. I highly agree the game should be fun, and not so much 'realistic'. We get enough realistic stuff in our daily life haha.
- @IrisuChan Have you noticed any Burnout with any of the Jungle Adventure tasks? I haven't done any authentication work, etc since I added Growing Together and I'm really hoping it's not affected by Burnout 🤞.
- @simsplayer818 Is it a creative type task, or mental? From what I gather, creative solves burnout, while mental type tasks add to it. I haven't played much with the Jungle Adventure tasks yet so I'm not sure myself (although I did put Lara Croft in my game for this purpose, lol).
@LadyAofPineapplethere are a few elements to the archaeology aspect of the pack. There's the excavation and then the analysis of Omiscan Artifacts. It's physical and mental I suppose, it definitely drains their fun but I hope they don't get burnout too, I've got 2 Jungle Adventure explorers to add soon.
Edit: it does indeed affect the Jungle Adventure pack. It doesn't seem to happen when excavating dig sites but it does affect authentication of Artifacts. So all I'm doing to limit it is to just do the dirt clump stage then stop the process halfway once the artifact is out of the dirt clump and then send the item off for analysis.
Unfortunately it means my Sim can't work from home analysing artifacts through the mail like she used to and she also can't use this method for skill gain either. How disappointing. It's really spoiling the game now. We need a way to mitigate the effects or we're losing important parts of the game. There is no upside to this feature at all.
- @IrisuChan Unfortunately, there are two types of player "camps": those who want realism (almost to the point of wanting grass to grow just so they can cut it), and simmers like you and I who just want to escape for a few hours at a time, lol.
I feel like that's why I like this forum so much, the relaxed players seem to be more prevalent here, and the angry realists are mostly over on eX-Twitter, lol.
(PS anyone reading this, PLEASE don't hate me, I'm joking around and I can understand both types of players! I just don't get the hate towards the game.)
