How long does the Burned Out moodlet last in The Sims 4?

Burned Out moodlet

Burned Out is a Tense +3 moodlet. It has no timer: it lasts while its cause lasts. Remove it with sims.remove_buff buff_Burnout_BurnedOut after testingcheats true.

The Burned Out moodlet comes from the Growing Together pack in The Sims 4. It pushes your Sim toward the Tense emotion with a weight of 3. The emotion with the largest total weight becomes your Sim's active mood.

This moodlet slows down your Sim's daily progress. It sets skill gain for all skills to a ×0.25 multiplier. Your Sim's Energy and Fun needs also refill ×0.75 as much as normal.

Causes and duration of the Burned Out moodlet

The game files list 1 version of the Burned Out moodlet. No specific interactions directly grant this moodlet, and no traits change how it behaves. You need the Growing Together expansion to see it in the game.

This moodlet has no timer on its icon. That means the effect stays on your Sim while its underlying cause lasts. While it stays active, its hidden multipliers combine with other active effects to slow down skill building and need recovery.

Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac to open the cheat console. Type testingcheats true and press Enter. Then enter sims.remove_buff buff_Burnout_BurnedOut to remove this moodlet from your active Sim.
