The Sims 3: what’s it got in its pockets?

So what’s the deal with the cozy fire? Harlan Whyte has no fireplace in his house. Neither is anything burning. I checked. The moodlet seemed permanent, and it affected Harlan wherever he went. I figured it was a bug. These things happen. But then it was mysteriously gone. Later, it was back. Stupid inconsistent bugs.

Of course, I was the dummy for not looking more closely at the tooltip. As you can see, it clearly says the Cozy Fire moodlet comes “From Flame Fruit”. Harlan keeps a garden, which helps develop a skill he needs to advance up the science career track. When I give him the order to Tend Garden, he putters around for a while, weeding, watering, and harvesting as needed. Occasionally, I sell all the harvested food for money.
