    So I found out it wasn't a bug at all. When you "Commune with Spirits" (the Island Living spirits) it will give you a buff and also sometimes freeze certain motives at full (from what I found, Energy, Hunger, and Fun seem to be the ones affected) for some time. Apparently it wears off, I just never played long enough to discover that, because I thought it was a bug and had no idea it was tied to that interaction. I'm very glad it wasn't any of my mods too.

@crinrictI did what you suggested, deleted my localthumbcache and moved my mods to my desktop. I played a new save for an entire sim week and the issue didn't happen. I also played the save I was having issues on without mods and nothing happened. It was only when I added my mods back and played the save again that it happened again (within a couple sim days). So I think it is a mod issue after all. I have no idea which mod, so that'll be fun to figure out. Thanks for the advice.

      @EpikFab Ah right, Yes, I remember that. There have been reports for this before.

      Glad you found the cause.
