Midlife crisis - no moodlet

My sim has been in a midlife crisis for quite a while. I do not have a moodlet to see how long this is going to last. Her husband had one and it resolved within a couple of days. This has been going on for almost two sim weeks. I’m completing the aspirations in the panel and it is not resolving. I do not play with mods. 

update: it ended up resolving and ending. It’s weird I never got a moodlet for it though.

    This has happened to me. One Sim got a midlife crisis just hours before the game patch on October 22, 2024. She got the usual 7-day timer buff, which decreased as she did tasks on her list, and finally the crisis was resolved (in less than 7 Sim days). Her husband got a midlife crisis just a few (RL) days ago. I've been playing him for a Sim week now; his tasks keep checking off and renewing, but he has no timer buff, and I'm starting to wonder if it will ever resolve. I honestly didn't notice if he had the buff when he first got the crisis or not, and I don't have a save that dates to that point in time.

    I do have MCCC, but it's my only script mod, and it was in for both instances. I did update the mod to the most current version after the patch. If the task list never goes away, I guess it's alright. He's carefree and doesn't get tense about it, nor does he get scared that time is passing. He does sometimes contemplate life, but don't we all.

    Update to this:

    I started ignoring the crisis after the above post. Three more Sim days passed (10 total days of crisis). It was the day before the Sim's elder birthday, and it finally resolved. Yay?

  • @candiecoatediv I'm dealing with this right now. I used a potion to get rid of my bad moodlets which got rid of that one too, but now it's been 3 weeks in game and even though I've been focusing on doing the tasks to make it go away it's still happening. 😭

    @Eclectic_Althea Hopefully it will go away. Since this issue if my sim had had a midlife crisis I’ve just completed the tasks and they’ve gone away. I figure this one must have been a one off or something.
