I have this purple exclamation point in a cloud that periodically flashes. Now, I thought it had something to do with a scandal that my Sim got involved in, since I think that's when it started...
Ideas
My Sim got a scandal and when it got to the end of the timer it reset twice, and now the number of days is changing incorrectly - an apology was accepted and the timer went up from 17 days to 139 days.
NPC scandals have also remained stuck with the timer fluctuating massively.
I've repaired the game, deleted the 'localthumbcache' and nothing is working.

Bump! Experiencing the same issue, sim received moodlet "Unfair Affair" after being exposed in a cheating scandal. The original moodlet was 9 days, same in the notebook.
Next day my sim travelled and the moodlet changed to a different higher number around ~16. The tooltip in the notebook stays correct. Throughout the course of the game, the number kept changing, especially triggered by travelling it seems. There is a third indicator I noticed much later on, which is when you hover over the sim and see the count there too. That one just does its own thing entirely; it's currently at over 300 days, but hit over 1.5k at some point. The moodlet itself remains smaller; still hit something like 80 days at some point.
The moodlet itself is fixed if changing the sim in the mirror, but does go awry when the sim moves anywhere.
I have mods and I am not ready to get rid of them at the moment, though they are minimal, but on the sims reddit I saw quite a few people having the same issue, some confirming without mods. Posting this to raise awareness of the issue
