Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.133.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Moschino
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Collect water from a natural source
What happens when the bug occurs? When collecting water off-grid from a nearby pond, my sim becomes uncomfortable but without any corresponding moodlet. As soon as she can collect water again, the buff disappears. If water is collected again, the uncomfortable buff returns.
What do you expect to see? Either no change in mood or a moodlet telling me why my sim is uncomfortable from collecting water.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. 6/3 patch
Water collecting seems bugged to give an unknown uncomfortable buff.
Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title, Added Base Game Version Number

We discovered that Sims were becoming uncomfortable when Gathering Water… we didn’t really understand why, so we decided to have them not be uncomfortable. Let them feel how they want to feel, I say.
Fixed in Patch 1.73.48/ 1.40
If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
Good Luck

If it helps, my Sims' other common trait is genius, and both lots are Off-the-Grid and Homey. I've found that this happens regardless of Sim differences like Aspiration and Gender. One lot was in the Base Game foresty area (don't remember the name), while the other was in Brindleton Bay. I had other issues in Brindleton Bay too, but this one persists over saves and areas. I unfortunately can't manage to get a picture of the occurrence. Other features of the trait seem to work (can enthuse about the outdoors, get cooped up, etc.).

As far as I'm aware, it happens to all Sims with the Loves-the-Outdoors trait, regardless of save files.
[Posts merged by CM]
To clarify, this did occur to multiple Sims over multiple save files.

They might be, but it wouldn't explain why my Sims get straight-up Uncomfortable when they go outside. I didn't get the fresh air moodlet (I don't think I've ever seen it), but the posts don't say anything about getting Uncomfortable outdoors without reason.

1. I haven't noticed Sims getting uncomfortable on grids that have power/water.
2. I'm unsure, as I haven't tested with Sims that don't Love the Outdoors.
3. I have been collecting water, but I didn't notice it before. It might be related, but it seems odd considering that they would need to be outside AND have full water.
I haven't seen the Fresh Air moodlet when outside, so it might still be related to the issue you proposed earlier.
