How long does the Fire! moodlet last in The Sims 4?

Fire! moodlet

Fire! is a moodlet with 5 versions; the strongest is Tense +50. It lasts 4 hours. Remove it with sims.remove_buff Buff_Fire_Stressed after testingcheats true.

The Fire moodlet in The Sims 4 has 5 versions across Base game, Cats & Dogs, and Snowy Escape. Depending on the version, it gives a Tense, Sad, Happy, or pet Anxious emotion.

Most versions have a weight of 50. Weight measures how hard a moodlet pulls toward its emotion. The emotion with the largest total weight becomes your Sim's mood.

What gives the Fire moodlet and how long it lasts

The game files do not list specific interactions that give the Fire moodlet. The Base game includes a Tense version with a weight of 50 and a Sad version with a weight of 5. Cats & Dogs adds Anxious versions for dogs and cats, while Snowy Escape adds a Happy version.

Four versions of the moodlet have no timer, which means the moodlet lasts while its cause lasts. Only the Base game Sad version has a set timer. It lasts for 4 hours, or 240 Sim minutes, and has no hidden multiplier effects.

How to avoid or remove the Fire moodlet

Since most versions have no timer, they stay active as long as their cause remains. You can change how your Sim reacts to the Base game Tense version with the Adrenaline Seeker trait. Sims with the Adrenaline Seeker trait get a Happy version with a weight of 50 and no timer instead.

You can also remove one version from your active Sim using a cheat in Live mode. Open the cheat console and type testingcheats true to enable the command. Next, enter sims.remove_buff Buff_Fire_Stressed to clear that specific version.
