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.

My Sim's secret was exposed, and I received a moodlet that was supposed to last 9 days, the scandal. But when those 9 days ended, instead of the moodlet disappearing, it changed to 16 days, then 33 days, and it keeps increasing. I've already tried going to the computer to write apologies or deny accusations, but it only gets worse and keeps increasing, and the scandal never ends. This is happening to my Sim and other NPCs in scandals.
I'm having the same and I play in console so no mods, and also that purple cloud never goes away even if I deactivate the scandal system
Tried and solved!
1.Make them be caught in another scandal.
2. Release Scandal
3. Then go more choices, more choices until you you see " Toggle the floating scandal cloud effect off/on".
All this did was give me two scandals on top of each other.
It happens to my sim too! I also drank a negative moodlet dissolver potion and it disappeared for only a few hours and then it reappeared
I also have this issue. Deactivating scandals in game play does nothing. The only option on the Scandal on the computer is to buy a secret. The moodlet has expired but the cloud will not go.
Everything causes the embarrassed scandal for me lol I think even the privy bush and using the bathroom in a public bathroom etc lol I can't get rid of it. I don't know what the start of it was.
UnbornTurd There is no "embarrassed scandal". All scandals, regardless of what they are, cause embarrassment for the Sim caught in the scandal. That's by design. Scandals are supposed to be embarrassing.
The issues players have been have been reporting (besides the scandal cloud effect not going away) have been that the scandals are going on for longer than they should, or the embarrassment moodlets aren't timing out as they eventually should. Which is your issue?
