I don't think I've ever had it before and I've been playing for years and then very recently, it's happening all the time. I was just playing and my sim woke feeling controlled emotions with +10. Absolutely no reason for it to happen as before they went to bed, wasn't doing any mindful activities.
Sorry, my question was a bit unclear. I think you should get an emotionally mindful when you do lots of mindful interactions and then if you continue do to actions, you get the one you have. So my question was:
Did you get the emotionally mindful one too or just directly the controlled emotions one ? I do think it's normal that the needs don't decrease in that state (or at least slower)
Sorry! I do get the emotionally mindful (+4) one beforehand but even after not completing any mindful interactions then it automatically seems to progress to emotionally controlled for no reason. I have actively made sure that I'm not completing mindful activities and it's still happening to all sims.
