Both adult sims have milestone moodlets, but have never experienced those milestones. One has the Sting of Rejection (from Recalling a Milestone), the other has Hated and Sad About It and Bladder Blunder. I've checked both of their Milestone panels, and neither have milestones associated with these moodlets. I have also never seen these moodlets pop-up for either of them until today after updating the game.
Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.
This bug just started for me today. (An aside: Not that they might be related bugs, this coincides with playing Coast of Adhmor for the first time and getting the repeated historical notifications.)
I have a "Revived!" moodlet on a sim that was never revived...
On my completely new (PC) vanilla save with eight sims (basically clones of each other as its a test save with no mods) while they are all stuck in their rooms three of them ended up with an emotion which made no sense because I'd just started the save and put them in their rooms to begin testing out a different bug I was experiencing.
I clicked on the first one and he is flirty, the second sim was embarrassed and the third was confident, the cause was milestones apparently. I checked their milestones, they had none generated because they were created and plopped down by me less than thirty real life minutes ago, it's still Sunday in the game on the first day of this new save. They have no milestones! How are you getting emotional moodlets.
I've played mod heavy for years but this patch in August has made me go vanilla due to how badly it wrecked the mods. I didn't realise the random milestone moodlets were actually the game bugging out - I've been thinking it's mod related for a long time, as various sims would randomly get a moodlet that made no sense to the sim but I've ignored it due to it being just one moodlet amongst many mod moodlets that overpower the game's moodlets. It was shocking to me to realise this bug that's annoyed me is actually from the game itself.
How is it possible for newly generated YA sims to get milestone moodlets when they have no milestones? So in summary, out of my eight sims, within twenty sim minutes three of them ended up with random milestone moodlets which influenced their moods, while the others were of the emotion of "fine".
Same here, Mine are usually sad ones
My sim has the yellow embarrassed moodlet from a bladder blunder, but never experienced a bladder blunder.
This has been happening to me frequently in the last month or two, on PS5. The moodlets often aren't related to any milestones that the sim has.
Going to add my game to this; When the August patch first came out, my married Sims were getting the Sting of Rejection milestone reflection moodlets. That was weird as they'd been childhood sweethearts, and at no point had they ever had a rejected proposal. Currently, today (9/12/2025) my brand-new Sim (she's existed for 4 real-time hours and about 3 in-game days) has had the Revived moodlet, the Hated and Sad about it moodlet, and an Angry moodlet from Werewolves Temperament (Too Loud! Sensitive Ears one). This girl is fully base-game Human, has met 11 Sims, most of them pets or horses, and hasn't even gotten the phone call about the Sudden Windfall via the Life & Death DLC.
This is a very frustrating bug as those moodlets are strong and last for a long time.
This is happening to me on Xbox Series X with all content installed. My 2 brand new Sims were getting odd milestone moodlets yesterday. One had the sadness moodlet from being hated for most of the day, but he doesn't have that milestone or any negative relationships and he has a Good Reputation as a celebrity. His partner had the moodlet from defeating Grim which was even stranger because that never happened and again she doesn't have that milestone.
Edit: I know the Luck settings have been suggested as a possible link so just to add I play with Luck toggled off and this problem started after I did that.
This may or may not be helpful, but I am a mod-maker and I've noticed that a type of XML file called a "random weighted loot" partially broke after Enchanted by Nature (specifically the luck system) launched, I'm guessing because something in the Python code changed.
Certain random weighted loots that use Y/N tests to determine which actions to take will have these tests automatically pass even if they should have failed. This causes the random milestone issue and also a similar bug with drinking nectar from Horse Ranch.
Random weighted loots that use weights with testing instead (including weight 0, which is effectively a "no") work fine and have no issues.
These are really annoying. They just seem so random and disrupt non modded game play so much. I had caught cheating yesterday and have had most of the negative ones in all my saves.
Game up to date. No CC. No Mods. On PC. All packs except some kits.
