What gives the moodlet and how long it lasts

In the Base game, your Sim can get the Confident version from the Go to Work interaction. This version lasts for 8 hours, or 480 Sim minutes. The Base game also has a Focused version that lasts for 4 hours, which is 240 Sim minutes.

If you have the Horse Ranch pack, your Sim gets a Confident version from the Mount interaction. This Horse Ranch version has no timer. That means the moodlet stays active while its cause lasts, and none of the 3 versions have hidden effects or trait changes.

How to remove or avoid the moodlet

You can avoid this moodlet by skipping the interactions that trigger it. Do not use the Mount interaction or the Go to Work interaction if you want to prevent those versions. If your Sim already has a timed version, you can wait 4 hours or 8 hours in Sim time for it to expire.

You can also remove one specific version right away using the cheat console in Live mode. Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac to open the box. Type testingcheats true first, then enter sims.remove_buff buff_MasterTrainer_PracticeMakesPerfect to clear that version from your active Sim.
