[NEEDS INPUT] Sims Random 'Bored Idle' when not Bored or in Boring Conversat [ Edited ]

[StarryMight]

If it's caused by the new Environment Score feature introduced by the Eco Lifestyle Pre-Patch, does turning if off in Options fix it? (I'm currently on patch hiatus, so I don't know where that is, exactly.)

@CherryBerryCloud I haven't put MCC back in yet - although I notice deadpooler has an update. I'll try loading it up.
How do you disable emotion idles in it Can't say I've seen that option (but there's a TON of stuff with it that I haven't tried yet).

@CherryBerryCloud :

BUILD MODE ITEMS GRANT GAMEPLAY EFFECTS

How you build your lot can now affect your gameplay. Certain objects such as wall patterns, floor patterns, fences, and columns bring different gameplay modifiers. Some of these modifiers affect how your Bills and utilities are calculated by decreasing or increasing your Power or Water utility production or usage, as well increasing or decreasing the price of bills. Environment Score can now be impacted by certain objects and materials. Drywall walls without wall patterns applied now decrease environment score like they did in The Sims 3! The choice of floor and wall materials used can also affect the ability to spread fire or puddles at an increased or lessened rate. And if you’d rather build your lot without having to think about these things, don’t worry. There’s an Option in the Gameplay menu to turn all of this off.

From the patch notes.

@StarryMight I tried turning it off and my sim used the bored idle about 10 minutes later. So no, turning it off doesn't stop it.

@StarryMight I think that may have solved the issue. Never did I think that would be the problem! Thank you!

@Abradley745 : Hmm...

@gwenleah : Glad to hear that! Hopefully it'll stick!

@gwenleah Hi What I did was open mc_tuner.cfg in a Notepad program (I use Notepad ++) and added the following line below:

25717,Emotion_Idle

Then save and close. Log in to the game and sims should stop doing all those annoying idles, including those when they're happy/confident/etc.

@StarryMight  It's not the new environment changes on my end, either. I have this bug too and I have the environment boost/ changes off in options. It happened immediately upon loading the game in a new save  and sim after the patch, which I also hotfixed.

My Active sim is in an energized mood but bored grumpy. Kinda weird for a pepped up sim,  maybe she needs more coffee. No, wait that's me...

[StarryMight]

@sushicrow: LOL, okay, maybe something is glitched about it, then.

@StarryMight After I played more, the problem came back but it's less than it was. A lot less. I swear, previously, all of my beloved Sims were going to get murdered for being whiny little *ahem* snits. They've had a slight attitude adjustment now but it's far from normal.
And, before turning that off, Sims acted bored but showed as being happy, focused, etc. Now, they show as bored.
Playable but not necessarily as enjoyable as before. Hard to love someone who's bored while doing anything.
