How to get burnout in Sims 4? What can you do if a Sim has burnout and how can you get rid of it? With the new Sims 4 expansion called “Growing Together”, not only do infants and many new objects come into play, but there are also a few other playful innovations such as milestones or the new emotion “Burnout”. If the Sim overworks, they can burn out after a certain amount of time, which in turn has a negative impact on the Sim and their skills and career. In this short guide, we’ll show you how to get and get rid of burnout.
How do you get burnout?
If a Sim works too much or spends too much time on their hobbies without taking regular breaks, they can experience burnout. Before the Sim burns out, they gain one of two emotions: Dazed – Mental Fog and Dazed – Creative Fog. To prevent burnout, you should slow down a little and take a break when the Sim displays the “Dazed” emotion.
If you don’t take a break and the Sim continues as before, then burnout will occur. As already mentioned above, the burnout then has a negative impact on the Sim’s skills and thus also on the career. The burnout also has a more or less strong impact on the Sim’s mood.
Remove and get rid of burnout
If the Sim has a burnout, it’s relatively easy to get rid of it. All you have to do is give the Sim a little break from the activities that caused the burnout. After a certain amount of time, the burnout disappears on its own. Alternatively, you can also get rid of burnout with the mood potion from the reward store. The mood remover costs 500 reward points.
As with other emotions, there is also a “burnout cheat” in The Sims 4. Since burnout is an emotion, you can remove it using the cheat command “sims.remove_all_buffs”.
- Open the cheat console using CTRL + Shift + C.
- Activate the cheats via “testingcheats true” and remove the burnout with the command “sims.remove_all_buffs”.
So far we haven’t been able to find a cheat code that allows you to activate burnout at the push of a button. It is probably possible using the command “sims.add_buff (Emotion), although it is still unknown what the cheat for the burnout is called.
