Angry Moodle? WTF?
Playing in my same single player sandbox this morning with my same character, and out of no where.... Angry Moodle? First time I have ever seen it. Thought it was disabled until the return of NPC. I do have More Traits Mod installed, so I have to believe that is the cause. Question is, what is it going to do, and what can I do about it?

******* UPDATE 8/29/22 at 1930 EDT US ********

Homer Simpson said it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXyrYMxa-VI

I have the alcoholic trait. I have, rarely, received a message that my character needed alcohol, but the moodle never happened. As soon as I had a drink, it went away and has not been seen since that one time.

I think what happened was that I was doing some serious speed fishing and missed the warning(s). Outside NPC context (no, I have no NPC or Anger mods), I cannot see it doing any harm unless you happen IRL to be obsessive compulsive about not having angry looking moodles second-guessing your gameplay.

So what have we learned? (1) I should not post so fast; (2) be careful when speed fishing.

Thanks to all.

I only know there is a mod for that. Are you sure you didn't download it?

The npc mod seem to continue to spawn npc even when I set spawn to off.
If mod is turn off npc do disappear.
It was in the game for NPC's. My guess a mod reactivated it for something

Talking about mod option not working.
I set npc spawn to off.
Raider spawn to off.

I driving along a dirty road. Get off my car to kill some zombie. Out of the forest come 10 raiders. Get hit by 3 bullets. Died shortly after. Hell.

What NPC mod are you referring to specifically?

Its either more traits or npc, I had both of those mods installed and uninstalled them, never saw it again.

This is the mod I know for anger, but seems OP does not have it installed from his comments.

This happens for me when stuff is just going south for me in game. In hungry, it's raining (and I have pluvophopia), I haven't smoked in a while, I got an injury etc... I honestly think I would also feel increasing anger IRL if things just kept getting worse and worse. But I dont think it actually does anything?

I have More Traits, Dynamic Traits. I do not have Anger Plus. (41.68)

i also got this moodle out of nowhere. i just suddenly killed a zombie and got irritated. i dont think any of the mods that i have would cause this (i have no npc or mood mods).

Have you made sure that it's actually an angry moodle and not agony moodle?
unclefmg Jan 23, 2023 @ 7:39pm 
Yes, it is the Angry Moodle, and with a few hundred more hours under my belt, i can safely say that it is related to additional traits mod, NOT vanilla, insofar as I always pick "Alcoholic" for the points and it only appears when that need is not satisfied.

Do you have Evolving Traits World or additional traits mod?
