Kid constantly breaking grounding..somehow?
Hi all, if there is someone here who can explain to me if it is a bug or am I doing something wrong 😅 So I grounded my child Sim for constantly making a mess, and it was the "no phone for a day" pu...

A lot of the moodlets are like that. They are on timers of a sort and the time until the moodlet expires is shown at the bottom. The one in your 1st pic says it will be there for 13 hours. The one in the 2nd pic says there is 52 minutes remaining. So, once you get one it will stay active until the time shown at the bottom passes. That is normal. Most moodlets are fairly short lived, in minutes or a few hours but some will hang around for quite a while like this grounded one. The one that you get for mourning a death will last for 2 full days. I think that is the longest one. All you can do is ride them out until the timer expires.
Hope this helps.
@CGrant56 I understand that yeah. But she is tense because she is breaking her grounding, and she is not doing that. She was not using her phone at all, and yet she was reprimanded and was tense, so the tense moodlet for the breaking was constantly reseting
Yeah, that's what the moodlet says, but the reason she got the moodlet in the 1st place is because she got grounded. I think that the moodlet is just poorly worded and the meaning is more or less that the child is tense because she wants to use her phone and can't because she is grounded and knows if she does, that there will be consequences. There are other moodlets that are similar where the wording doesn't quite match the situation.
Hope this helps.
- @CGrant56 ah - do you maybe know if it happens with other type of punishments? I have not tested it since I was not home. Maybe it is poorly worded, which is why I first wrote here, since it just does not make sense that she gets reprimanded for breaking the rules, when she is not breaking them. If it is poorly worded, then I don't know why would she be reprimanded by all her family for breaking the grounding :/
I don't know if there are other punishments that generate that type of moodlet. Tbh, I don't punish my kids simply because I don't let them do all that much. The younger ages are not my thing so I just get through toddler and child as fast as I can and keep them working on the aspirations and skills 24/7 until they complete them and age them up (Yeah, I cheat the motives to max and set them so they don't decay with the debug cheats 😃).
Hope this helps.
