Sims suddenly & randomly clapping hands [ Edited ]

[99publicidentity]

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Take a sim family to the adventure several times and also explore the temple. 2. Return to home.
What happens when the bug occurs? Reloading/Switching to other household/restart the game never fixed this. -- Sometimes(Randomly but recognizable), the sim who gone to adventure before suddenly clap his/her hands with treasure llama whim icon. 'Yea ha, woo hoo!' And this effect constantly continues. All sim in the household clapping hands while watching TV, sitting on a toilet, playing darts, etc. This is insane and need some tuning.
What do you expect to see? Sims shouldn't clap hands if there is no fossil around and the world is not jungle area. Also the sunny-icon effect should NOT happen if the world is non-jungle(home) area.
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. JA update

Hi @99publicidentity

The various "Feel good" moodlets you get when Adventuring causes this. These moodlets last for a week and are contagious. When a Sim that has such a moodlet talks with one that does not there is an about 50% chance the other sim gets the moodlet. Since you have 8 Sims that go adventuring your entire household will pretty much have this perpetually.

nvm

Are you sure that one from the Adventuring household has not talked to them or are they in a separate savegame?

As I wrote it is contagious. Has it been more than a week since any of the Sims in that savegame went on an adventure?

Also have they recently uncovered and/or authenticated a relic at home?

if your sim went to the jungle and they start clapping out of random, mean they been Cursed. by the Curse of the Ancient.. buff looks like a little Sun icon on the buff panel. does your sim have that buff ? i believe it take 48 Sim hours to clear

I know it doesn't bother me, but I can't speak for everyone. I also know that some buffs on NPC/ Walk by's gets their buff reset.. Curse of the Ancient could be one to get reset so it doesn't spread outta control.. it's just a guess
