I had a simple scandal about an unfair affair. It came out of nowhere. Said it was supposed to last 9 sim days. Every time I traveled to a different lot, the time on the moodlet would increase by days at a time. What started as a 9 day scandal has become a 18 day problem that will not go away. I have apologized, held press conferences, even stayed on one lot for 9 sim days. Nothing has worked. When I pushed the timer to 0, the moodlet just stayed there even though I had a second moodlet telling me the scandal had expired.
I have tried MULTIPLE fixes listed in other threads:
Remove trait cheat: traits.remove_trait trait_SecretScandal_VFX and traits.remove_trait trait_Secret_Scandal_VFX as well just to be sure. Did not work.
I tried activating another scandal. Just to have two scandals active at once. Did not Work.
I tried turning off the scandals from the game options. Did not work.
I tried turning off the scandal cloud for both people affected. Did not work.
I tried using the moodlet solver after getting the scandal to 0. Did not work.
How is one of the main features of this pack completely broken in such a bad way?
I'm having the same problem.
My Sims got frisky in public, and they received a phone call for blackmail, and she said "do your worst", because who cares 🤷♀️
Now she and her partner have been having embarrassing moodlet way too many days, and the duration of the scandal went from 4 days to 17 days, then to 2 days, then to 18 days, and it keeps doing that, it's been over a simweek now, and it keeps doing that, and this is a minor scandal. I just played, she went to work, and moodlet had three arrows going down, the number of days went from 17 to 2, and the moment she came home, it went up to 18 days. How do I get rid of this?
