Stupid pink heart moodlet
airilina:
I've never paid attention to this before, but after seeing this thread I started watching for it. This moodlet stuck around for four out of four sims. I'll keep watching, but it could be that the moodlet goes away one you progress to another stage (e.g. engagement).

Ok, I tested it again. This time it lasted for almost exactly 18 hours, from 16:47 until about 11:00 am. The moodlet disappeared while the Sim in question was active and at home, she had not advanced in that relationship since then and the first kiss moodlet still showed 6 hours left before expiration. It might be a coincidence but the moodlet vanished at the very moment when she rolled a wish to "talk about self" with a tourist Sim, who must have entered the game at that time. When I saw the moodlet go it still said 2 days, by the way.
During these 18 hours I had switched to other household members (two) twice or three times in order to fill their action queues, but apart from that my eyes were fixed onto that moodlet.
Her Charisma level is 10, she has the celebrity and super-friendly status and the "attractive" (or whatever it is called in English) LTR, so that whenever she encounters a new Sim she'll have the "new friend" moodlet. Now, when I come to think about it, this might be another thing to watch for next time, whether the heart moodlet is kind of replaced with another one that is related to social matters.
But to be honest, this is the least of my problems, though. I'd readily give away all heart moodlets if only my custom meshes did show up reliably again and if I knew how to change in-game text on a Mac (they did translate "tranquil transference" with the German word for "sleeping pill", something that gives me a Claeric moment every time I use it).

You may be onto something here. The last time this happened to me, the sim who lost the moodlet was the only one who left the house and interacted with other sims that day. She went to the park and played for tips, and picked up a couple of friends that way.

I love the German translation error. "Sleeping Pill"? Oh lovely! LOL
My Sim was home gardening and made no new friends when the moodlet disappeared. I am only concerned about this at all because any anomaly strikes me poorly when I have been having so many other fun issues with the game. I have had "bad" saves a few times now and had to reload to previous saves (lost a couple of kids that way). So when something seems borked I pay attention since it seems an indicator of an underlying instability... and because EA just sucks and I don't trust them.
