Hello, I just got the new expansion pack and noticed that there is a new moodlet (game in Finnish). Before reporting this as a bug, I wanted to ask about more knowledge on what is supposed to grant t...

    @KnightGoblin8 Thanks for the article link! It also says activities like painting, fishing, or using the hot springs can do it. So it doesn't just have to be walks.

    Seems like a hobby activity may be enough to get it going.

@KnightGoblin8 I don't know what the moodlet says, but I have a sim who gets a moodlet related to his active lifestyle. If he does something that's opposite what the lifestyle is, he gets a 4 hour bored moodlet. If it's something for his lifestyle, he gets a 4 hour happy moodlet.

So depending on the active lifestyle for that sim, the buff could be related to that.

      @PoptartJuniper Oh yea! That's true. The Sim has been doing a lot of reading so maybe that has contributed on occasionally getting the moodlet. So maybe it's not a glitch after all. Hopefully people would pitch in if they encounter their own scenarios where they got the moodlet. 🙂

        @KnightGoblin8 That would be interesting to learn! What a great buff though. I may have to try to earn it for the emotion surge!

    My Sim is getting this moodlet alot too and she's just doing everyday normal things.

    She is a programmer but she hasn't been doing that in a few days, and she is getting this moodlet.

    She is listening to alot of music though, could that be it ?

    She lives in Brindleton Bay, and I've been trying to get her into the inspired mood, but its been difficult.

    Usually my Sims get into the inspired mood when cooking but she hasn't in a while.

    The moodlet just left her for a few hours, then she woke up, ate, and went to make a snowpal and it popped up again.

    Noticed the game says you can get into the emotionally mindful mood by taking meditative walks, listening to Japanese folk music or relaxing in a hot tub.

    She hasn't done any of these and had to research to see what it was.

    Going to try to surge her emotions and see what happens.

    edit: there is no option to surge emotions at the first level, which is where she is.

    Only the option for mindful walks. Guess she has to go to a higher level in emotionally mindful to get to surge the emotions.

    This is something that came with the Snowy Escape pack, and I guess its across the board in the game.

    Heres more information: https://simscommunity.info/2020/11/03/the-sims-4-snowy-escape-becoming-emotionally-mindful-surging-emotions/

    edit: Did it, surged her emotions after she got to  +10 of the emotionally mindful state. Just had her take a mindful walk at the first level which was

    +4, then surged her emotion and made her ingenuity (inspired) and that's it.

    Now I will see what it takes to make her go into a different mood or is she stuck there in the ingenuity mood.
