Sul sul everyone,I'm having a problem which I guess I shouldn't even have in the first place: one of my sims constantly has 'No attention left' moodlet, regardless of what I do and how much his parents interact with him.Sounds familiar? Well, here's more:Thing is, he's not a toddler (this moodlet is a toddler thing after all, or..?), moreover — he's not even a child anymore! — he's been a grown up teen for a long time and still is always, and I mean ALWAYS sad because of his mom and dad not paying attention to him.I didn't use any cheats (dislike that stuff) or custom content whatsoever, only official packs and kits.Is that really supposed to work so?? If so, dear EA, here's my feedback: this is really stupid. Like, totally and annoyingly stupid.But it looks to me like a glitch though. Does anyone know how to deal with it? Is there a way to get rid of this moodlet without UI cheats etc?

@crinrict @graillyc I believe that moodlet is actually from sentiments rather than traits, but it still sounds like it’s stuck and will probably need a cheat to remove. I suspect he’s got a “feeling hurt by” sentiment/grudge against a parent that’s just not wearing off, so he gets the moodlet whenever he’s around them

@crinrictGave it a try and when downloaded from the gallery, they have no sentiments with each other. Then tried another couple of mine that definitely had a sentiment (growing closer) - saved them to my library, then placed in another lot as a new household... and the sentiment is gone, though their relationship still exists. Looks like sentiments don't transfer through saved households.I might play around more later just to see if I do get the moodlet anyway, but my bet is it's a negative sentiment between the teen and at least one of the parents.Edit: Had a chance to play a bit longer, and no sad moodlet. I even tried making the parents have another baby, but he didn't care - and the toddler got a happy moodlet rather than mad or sad. He did still have that happy new sibling moodlet when I aged him up, but the timer was still running on it so I assume it will go away soon enough.

@7nzrj23hl176 I merged your post with a similar thread. Sounds like your toddler also has either traits or sentiments left that they shouldn't have.Do you see any sentiments when you check the relationships with the parents ?

@graillyc Sounds like the teen still has some hidden trait that didn't get removed. There's no way to get rid of that trait without cheats unfortunately. There was a bug that got fixed where infants/toddlers didn't loose the traits properly that has been fixed but unfortunately affected Sims won't be fixed.If you upload the Sim to the gallery, I can find out for you which trait it is but to remove it, you would need to use a cheat.

Hello @crinrict,thank you for your response. If there's no other way to deal with it without using cheats, then so be it... Better that than loosing a sim to a stupid bug, because he's turned insufferable to play)If you could take a look on him, I'd be very much oblidged. I've just uploaded my household to the gallery (did it first time, didn't know how to upload a single sim, sorry). Please let me know if you find something.

@graillyc I tested them a while and couldn't find any trait that could account for the moodlet nor did I get a moodlet. Might have been removed when you uploaded them to the gallery.

Guess I would need your save instead.

Just upload it somewhere and PM me the link.

@PipMenace Could you try downloading the family and see if you get the moodlet ?

Played for about two Sims days and didn't see it (fast forwarfd)

@PipMenace Could be very well but I guess I'll need the save to test properly.

Thanks for checking.

@graillyc Unfortunately I can't duplicate the moodlet on your save game either. Fast Forwareded around 4 Sims days. No moodlet.

Do you do something specific to make it appear ?

@crinrict nope, that's the point, I didn't do anything, and the moodlet was just there.
upd: although I've somehow managed to avoid this moodlet for 2 sims days, maybe somehow it fixed itself dunno...
