@flauschtrudFor burnout that is how it is supposed to work I believe. I just stopped my Sim from working hard (she is ambitious and automatically works hard at work) and did some chess and exercise and the purple moodlet disappeared. Thus, burnout is prevented.
For midlife crisis I wonder myself. I have a second Sim in midlife crisis now, but I am not sure what to do to prevent it. I also did different things like quit the job, changed the career, went to Sulani for vacation etc. Still not sure if it is just not avoidable. I cannot find much online. It only says if you ignore it you will get the midlife crisis, but no where did I yet find where it says how to prevent it.
Edit: I had this moodlet pop up, but I did not see the Tense moodlet being affected (yet). So I will keep trying 🤣 (He went snorkeling).
The tense moodlet from the midlife crisis should be affected (time going down) when you complete tasks from the midlife crisis "aspiration". At least this worked for me.
What I meant about the burnout moodlet: it's weird that the time is ticking down and suddenly going up again (like starting at 20h, going down to 14h with relaxing and then being 18h later). That seems buggy and I haven't seen this on any time-ticking down moodlet.
I'm not sure why anyone added more negative emotions to the game to be honest. I've got one household having a miserable experience with them since I added Growing Together. I'm trying to get one of them to meet the goals on the midlife crisis panel but they're not going away even when he's completed them several times.
I think there were enough negative emotions and moodlets in the game already. I wish this could be turned off like Wants and Fears which also made my Sims miserable. They're both walking around dazed with burnout at the same time as his midlife crisis, honestly it's incredibly frustrating.
Burnout producing a Dazed moodlet makes no sense either. Feeling burned out from work is far more likely to make someone tired, I'd get drained from deadlines, etc never dazed. Fatigued yes, stressed yes but not walking around like they do after a poison dart in the jungle!
Again I'm just shaking my head and it and thinking why?
