What gives the Ouch moodlet and its duration

Three different groups of interactions give your Sim the Ouch moodlet. The strongest version has an Uncomfortable weight of 2 and comes from the Chomp interaction.

The other versions have a weight of 1. One comes from the Breastfeed interaction. The third comes from interactions like Add Bidet, Add Aromatherapy Filter, Add Bio-Disintegrator, Add H20 Siphoner, or Add H20 Siphoner using Eco Parts.

Other interactions that trigger it include Add Deuce Core Processor, Add Gizmo Redundancy, and Add Gyro-Compactor. Each version stays on your Sim for 180 Sim minutes, which equals 3 hours in the game.

How to remove or avoid the Ouch moodlet

You can avoid this moodlet by skipping the interactions that cause it. Avoiding the Chomp interaction, the Breastfeed interaction, and the listed Add interactions keeps your Sim safe from it.

If your Sim already has the moodlet, you can wait 3 hours in Sim time for the timer to end. You can also remove one specific version in Live mode using the cheat console.

Open the console with Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac. Type testingcheats true first, then enter sims.remove_buff buff_Infant_Social_Ouch to clear that version from your active Sim.
