How long does the Ravenous moodlet last in The Sims 4?
Ravenous moodlet
Ravenous is a moodlet with 5 versions; the strongest is Uncomfortable +40. It lasts 4 hours. A Sim gets it while the Hunger need is between -100 and -75 (the bar runs from -100 to 100). Remove it with sims.remove_buff Buff_Motives_Hunger_Starving after testingcheats true.
The Ravenous moodlet in The Sims 4 has 5 versions across the Base game and Get to Work. Two versions give a strong Uncomfortable emotion with a weight of 40. Toddlers get an Angry or Sad version with a weight of 3 instead.
The main Base game version appears when your Sim's Hunger need drops between -75 and -100. It has no timer and stays until you raise the Hunger need above -75. Get to Work adds a different version with a weight of 2 that lasts 4 hours.

Ravenous comes from the Hunger need: a Sim has it while Hunger sits between -100 and -75, on a bar that runs from -100 to 100. Hunger drains 0.21 points per Sim minute with no other effect on it, so a full bar empties in about 16 hours.

What gives the Ravenous moodlet and its length
Your Sim gets the Base game Ravenous moodlet when their Hunger need sits between -75 and -100. Needs in the game run from -100 when empty to 100 when full. While Ravenous is active, the Hunger need drains ×0.0833333 as fast and drops ×0.0833333 as much.
The Base game versions have no timer, so they last while the cause lasts. Toddlers get an Angry version with a weight of 3, or a Sad version if they are Angelic or Clingy. The Get to Work version lasts 240 Sim minutes, or 4 hours, and drains Hunger ×3 as fast.
How to remove or replace Ravenous
You remove the need-based Ravenous moodlet by raising your Sim's Hunger need above -75. Some traits replace this moodlet with a different one. Sims with the Hungry Like The Wolf trait get the Famished Beast moodlet instead, and Infants get a Sad moodlet.
You can also remove one specific version with a cheat in Live mode. Open the cheat console with Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac. Type testingcheats true first, then enter sims.remove_buff Buff_Motives_Hunger_Starving to clear it from your active Sim.
