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?
No mods, all straight game and packs, nothing special. Vanilla isn't a bad flavor.
Started at 9 days, went up to 31. Save, quit, reopen, start playing, it's back at 9. Save, quit, reopen, played now for a sim week and the number just doesn't go down for me. I've had my sim apologize at least 10 times at this point. I used romantic dissolver potions. I have tried everything I possibly could like others here. I just can't get the scandal to be less than 9 days and my sim has been perpetually embarrassed.
