@UnsecretIdentitysadly I don't think that's the case. I got the "fear of the dark" moodlet stuck and looping on my sim (Kyle Kyleson from the most recent Growing Together EP) and he doesn't have the 'Brave' trait, but the fear of the dark itself still doesn't show on his simology panel, thus I can't cure it or cheat it away at all. It's super annoying. Frown

Thank you! I followed your steps and so far, so good. It seems to have broken the endless cycle of my child sim being afraid of the dark even when she no longer had the fear. :-)

@PurpleCosmonauts as i mention on the previous post where i listed the steps to follow, if your sim gets the moodlet but does not have the fear trait in the simology, you should be able to add it using the traits command, traits.equip_trait trait_fear_dark  Having the 'brave' trait simply seems to prevent that from working, but if your sim doesn't have 'Brave' you should be able to equip it and follow the steps to see if you can solve the issue. Hope that helps.

I just wanted add to this thread because I've discovered a hidden buff that was causing the solution you provide to fail where the Brave trait had been equipped even if removed.

 

My sim had the Brave trait equipped so I removed this. When I equipped the Fear of the Dark trait, I recieved a notification that my sim had the trait but the trait wasn't properly equipped. It wasn't showing in the Sim's traits panel under Simology and the steps to remove it weren't successful since the fear of the dark Buff kept returning.

 

However, I use Deaderpool's mod that enables both traits AND buffs to be removed or applied at will and I happened to notice that my Sim had a hidden buff entitled "Currently Fearless" which I am guessing was related to the Brave trait and wasn't removed when the trait was de-equipped for some reason - I used the cheat rather than the mod to de-equip the trait so others using the cheat may be having the same problem. I don't know if using the mod to de-equip the trait would have removed the hidden buff. I suspect not. Anyway, I removed the hidden buff using the mod and hey presto the Fear of Dark trait could now be properly equipped and all the steps taken to remove it were successful.

 

Once the fear of the dark trait had been removed following the steps provide by Unsecret Identity, I was able to re-equip the Brave trait and the fear of the dark Buff has not returned.

 

I hope this might help someone who's having trouble. Unfortunately, unless EA actually fix this, it seems that the issue with the glitch caused by the Brave trait can't be fixed without Deaderpool's mod or something similar that allows hidden buffs to be viewed and removed.

@UnsecretIdentity Thanks, this really helped. My only issue now is that the sim who had the moodlet stuck now won't stop running "scared" everywhere. It's super annoying.

@halloweenchild13 YW. Though it sounds like you still have the glitch since you're still getting the moodlet, i would recommend trying to go thru the steps until you don't get the moodlet anymore.

Hero

Sims that confront their fear of the dark will not continue to be affected by the Afraid of the Dark Scared Moodlet buff.

Fixed in Patch 1.97.42/1.73

If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

 

Good Luck
