What gives Heartbreak and how long it lasts

This moodlet belongs to the Life & Death pack. The game files do not list specific social interactions or traits that trigger or alter it. It also has no hidden multipliers that change other game effects.

Once your Sim gets the Heartbreak moodlet, it lasts for 4 hours, which is 240 Sim minutes. While active, it pulls your Sim toward the Sad emotion with a weight of 1. If Sad has the highest total weight among your active moodlets, your Sim becomes Sad.

How to remove the Heartbreak moodlet

You can wait 4 hours in Sim time for the Heartbreak moodlet to expire on its own. Since it has a weight of 1, stronger moodlets from other emotions can easily outweigh it. Giving your Sim stronger positive moodlets changes their overall mood while the Sad timer runs out.

You can also clear it right away in Live mode using the cheat console. Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac to open the box. Type testingcheats true and press Enter, then enter sims.remove_buff buff_Grief_Depression_MeetLivingTarget to remove it from your active Sim.
