[LD] Sim still has ghost moodlets and ability from temp ghost

I created a new Sim so I could try out the latest expansion and I made her a Macabre Sim who was employed in the Undertaker career. There apparently is a little mystery you have to do with the Mortician career track and I needed to become a ghost to try and solve it. I had her go into the Baleful Bog to have an Out of Body Experience and when she came back from that, she was left with becoming angry all the time. The moodlet just keeps appearing after it goes away and lasts for a couple of hours each time.

  • I had a sim swim in the Baleful Bog for one of the tarot card quests, and my sim got the death by embarrassment trait, all went well and eventually the sim became alive again, but every few in-game hours, the "haunted by embarrassment" moodlet comes back and it's actively ruining gameplay. The sims constantly gets embarrassed because of the moodlet. 

    I tried to remove the trait via cheats and it didn't stop the moodlet from coming back. I tried going for another out of body experience in the baleful bog but even after it keeps coming back. I don't know what to do now.

    I’m experiencing the same bug. It’s starting after exploring a crypt and getting a notification information me that I temporarily turned into a ghost.

  • I am also experiencing the bug. Multiple times a day I get an angry death moodlet. I went back into the bog in hopes of changing it (because I didn't understand where it was coming from) and then I got another one, embarrassment this time. It is incredibly annoying. 

    Please fix this ASAP, Sims team. And while you are at it, I am encountering multiple bugs in Life and Death so it would be great if it got an upgrade altogether. For example, ghosts regularly just wander off mid conversation, disappearing altogether. And Edith the ghost turned into a young adult living woman.

    Thank you in advance!

  • Hey so I don't know if anyone else had discovered this fix but this bug was actually ruining my game. Fixed it on accident.
    Sim A had this bug attached to her after exploring the catacombs. She wasn't even at an angry moodlet when she "died" but kept getting the angry death buff roughly every 4 in game hours.

    I move Sim A into a new residence. Then move Sim B into that residence. Bug persists.

    I move Sim A back into old residence and play as Sim B in the new residence for about a week. I switch back to Sim A in old residence and I have not had that moodlet return for her since. Maybe just move them around a little and play outside of that household for a few days.

  • I’m having this problem as well in my most recent save. I had my Sim play the Game of Chance at the Thinning Veil festival, and she got unlucky and turned into a temporary ghost. Since turning back to normal, she’s still getting the Haunted by Embarrassment (from embarrassing death) moodlet frequently despite not having any ghostly traits. I’ve tried using the cheat bar in case of a hidden trait, but have had no luck. It’s becoming increasingly annoying to deal with.

  • I'm having the same after my faerie sim went into the Baleful Bog and she had a sad moodlet, now she's broken-hearted all the time and it does rather mess with gameplay. I've tried the moodlet solver aspiration reward potion but it doesn't fix it even temporarily. No mods etc used. Totally conflicts with the sim's cheerful trait.
