How long the Artistic Read moodlet lasts

The game files do not list specific interactions or traits that trigger the Artistic Read moodlet. They also do not list hidden multiplier effects for any of the 3 versions. Each version adds to the Inspired weight, and the emotion with the highest total weight becomes your Sim's mood.

One version has a weight of 1 and has no timer, so it stays active while its cause lasts. The other versions last for 4 hours, which equals 240 Sim minutes. Those timed versions give an Inspired weight of 1 or 2.
