What gives Heartbroken by Betrayal and its length

The game files do not list specific interactions that give the Heartbroken by Betrayal moodlet. Your Sim usually gets the Angry version, which pulls their mood toward Angry with a weight of 2. The emotion with the largest total weight becomes your Sim's overall mood.

The Gloomy trait changes how this moodlet works. If your Sim has the Gloomy trait, they get the Sad version instead of the Angry version. This Sad version has a stronger weight of 3.

Both versions of the moodlet last for 1 day, which is 1,440 Sim minutes. Neither version applies hidden multiplier effects to your Sim.

How to remove or avoid the moodlet

You can wait 1 day in Sim time for the moodlet timer to run out naturally. If you want to avoid the stronger Sad version, do not give your Sim the Gloomy trait.

You can also remove a version right away in Live mode using the cheat console. Open the cheat console and enter testingcheats true first. Then type sims.remove_buff Buff_JealousLovedOne_Gloomy to remove that one version from your active Sim.
