"Uhg, Family" moodlet?
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but if it isn't, i'm terribly sorry. I have googled and searched and searched and wiki'd but I can't find any information about this moodlet. ...
Forum Discussion
@Andipoodle, I've had this moodlet before. I think it was during a "phase " my sim was going through, but I'm not sure if you can get it without the phase. I'm assuming you have the Parenthood pack? If it is a phase, that would explain the teen's behavior and moodlet, but I don't recall this moodlet showing up on any of my adult Sims. 🤔
Did you get a message in the upper right corner saying your Sim was going through a phase? there are different phases that both children and teens can go through, and some of them turn your otherwise easy-going, friendly, loving young Sim into a little argumentative hot-head! 😮 If it is a phase, then there should be an interaction under "Friendly" or "Parenting" that gives your parent Sim the option of talking to them about their phase. If you click on that a box will come up in the upper right corner telling you what you can do to shorten this phase.
If it is not related to a phase, then are there any options under "Friendly" that allow your Sims to "find common ground" or "apologize" (or anything along those lines) ? If not maybe taking a bubble bath or watching Comedy on TV or any other mood changing activity that is positive will help. Please keep us updated if you find any solution! I will try to get those moodlets in my game to see if I can figure out something else that might help you. 😉 Best of luck!
Thank you so much for all of this information. He may have been going through a phase, but I aged him up into a teenager and I'm not getting anything through parenting about talking to him about a phase.
By the way, his name is Adrian and his adult brother is Judas.
Judas only gets the moodlet when Adrian has it and is around him, which happens any time he is around Judas at all. I think he may be jealous of him and that is what is causing it because he is the youngest? (is that programmed into the game?)
Also, since he has been turned into a vampire, he has been drinking from people uncontrollably while his thirst meter is full! Does this also have to do with his anger issues?
Also, i just noticed that he has VERY low emotional control. Could this have something to do with it as well?
@Andipoodle , thanks for your detailed description of your problem! 🙂 As far as I know, the only "jealousy" programed into the game is with the Jealousy trait, but its description only lists it as pertaining romantic jealousy ... also, my experience of it in the game has only produced results for romantic jealousy. Also, there does not seem to be a knowledge of "birth order" in the game. Even with the Parenthood Game Pack, I have not run into any birth order issues so far.
I think the most likely culprit is his low Emotional Control. That would make him more likely to deal with any negative emotion in an unproductive way. (I don't know if it would make him get angry more often, though, nor do I know if it would make him get the "Ugh Family" moodlet more often). Try to raise his emotional control levels and see if that helps! One good way to raise emotional control is to go into Buy Mode and buy a journal for him. Have him write in his journal often, and that will raise his emotional control! 😇 Other actions will also raise emotional control, but I don't remember all of them, and the journal is easy to use and not expensive! 😉
As for the uncontrollable feasting on people even when his thirst meter is full, that sounds like a separate issue (but I could be wrong). I'm not sure what could be causing that! 🤔 The only thing I can think of is if you have Mods or CC (Custom Content) in your game. That could be affecting both the "Ugh Family" moodlet, but is very likely to be making your Vampire Sim constantly drink from other Sims even when they are full. What Aspiration and traits does your Vampire Sim have?
Okay well.. at the moment.. Adrian is dead. He decided that staying indoors was a bad idea and died from sunlight (or didn't sleep, it was 10 pm after all.) and Judas has the "Uhg, Family." Moodlet even though Adrian is dead and he isn't around any family. I tried to use "sims.remove_all_buffs" on him and the moodlet stayed! I wish I knew how to check to see if a particular mod is causing the problem without removing them all...
@Andipoodle , Sorry your Sim died! 😢 I would have liked to have know if you could have fixed is constant drinking from Sims even when his thirst was satisfied. 🤔
Now since I know you have Mods in your game, I'm thinking that that is what is causing at least one of your issues, if not both of them! Since I don't play with Mods (for exactly this kind of reason) I don't know of the best way to handle your problem. I've heard other people say that they will take out a Mod or CC one at a time to try to find the culprit, and then put everything back in the game except the CC or Mod that causes the problem, but if you have a lot of Mods or CC, this might be tedious! It is very odd 😮 (not to mention frustrating 😬 ) that Judas still has the "Ugh Family" moodlet with no family around!
If you do find the Mod that is the culprit, then if you can contact whoever made the Mod and see if they can update it so it works properly. Every time there is a new patch or new content (such as a new pack added to the game), Mods usually have to be updated to work properly with the new game data.
Best of luck, and please update us on any information you learn from what is causing your problem and if you are able to fix it! 😉
