Does anyone know what exactly triggers this? My toddler gets this moodlet almost constantly...mostly during friendly conversation, but sometimes even when she is idle it pops up unwarranted. She appar...

I had a child that used to get that towards her parents a lot, starting when she was a toddler shortly before she aged up to child. It was strange, but I figured it out. Her parents both had the "mean" trait, even though I always played them as loving towards her (and each other). When playing them, they have an option to "crush her dreams" when talking to the child. I NEVER chose that option, but I'm guessing they probably did it on their own. Or they may have said or done other mean interactions, on their own. I also noticed the dad tended to lecture her a lot when she misbehaved, and that sometimes set it off. (I've had other parents lecture their kids without setting it off, but maybe she hates being lectured more than some other kids, especially from a dad with both mean and evil traits.)
BUT, I did discover that you can get rid of this moodlet by making the parent apologize to the kid. That improved her relationship with her parents a lot. I also got her to apologize to them when she set this moodlet off in one of them. (Yes, the child was making her parents feel this way too.) But smooth apology helps get rid of this (as long as your character has the ability to apologize.)
Since then I've noticed other Sims getting this, and not just from mean Sims. It's not just children that get it either. I've had adults getting it towards other adults too.
One of my guys got it after he caught a girl he liked in bed with her husband, on her wedding night. She had a moodlet saying she was caught cheating, and maybe shouldn't have been in too many relationships especially when one is supposed to be secret. I was like, "WHAT ??? " If she was in a secret relationship with this other guy, that was a secret from me too !!! I never even saw her flirt with him! I know she used to be a heartbreaker, but she stopped flirting with other men after she got pregnant and started living with the guy she eventually married. Why is this guy (who I didn't even know liked her) hurt from catching her sleeping with her long-time soulmate on their wedding night? What did he think she was gonna do on her wedding night?
But hey, it's kinda exciting to have something strange like that happen. I'm like WHAAAT ????? Those are the kinda surprises that make this game like a soap opera.
