I recently bought the growing together pack and now I wish I didn't! I'm so tired of the burnout moodlet! I got my burnout down to 8 hours then bam full blown burned out! I was at the bar chatting dancing etc and even that caused burnout! Please tell me there's a way to remove it. I've tried the potion it only works when in full-blown burnout.. its made the game less fun as can't do anything without causing brain fog and dazed!
I get very frustrated with Burnout as well, and I wish they made it a toggleable feature. When your sim gets the initial moodlet, pay attention to what type of burnout/fog it is. I believe the two different types are Creative fog and Mental fog. If your sim has the Creative fog/burnout, make sure your sim doesn't do any Creative skills/activities until the moodlet is gone. I could be misremembering, but I believe that working on Mental skills/activities decreases the time on the Creative fog moodlet. If your sim has Mental burnout, do the opposite: don't to any Mental activities and do do Creative ones. Whenever my sim is in Mental burnout, I immediately click on them and queue up the "Practice Singing" interaction, and make them do that until the moodlet is gone. I believe you need City Living for that interaction though, but dancing should work too. Some examples of creative activities: homestyle & gourmet cooking, singing, dancing, painting, writing, knitting. Some examples of mental activities: programming, gardening, logic, robotics.
So I'm getting this weird bug. Maybe it's because this specific Sim was downloaded from another creator. She's having the creative burnout. So I told her to exercise, yoga, basically I'm seeing the GREEN arrow on the moodlet indicating that it's being alleviated. However, while doing yoga, the burnout transforms into a brain block instead??????????
Other Sims that had the dazed moodlet from work does not suffer this, as I could successfully do activities to counter it and the moodlet goes away with that specific jingle + Happy moodlet "Clear Mind" from clearing Mental/Creative Fog. It rarely transforms into Burnout > Brain Block.
I get that a lot too and its so frustrating that I use a mod to control it. UI Cheats will let you right click on it and it will just go away.
