Had this issue with fear of the dark and the fear of crowded places. Both had negative moodlets appear after the fear was "cured".

I managed to get rid of it by planning outfits on a mirror after the sim was cured.

If that doesn't work for you, try traveling with the sim to a different lot (after planning outfits).

 

This was on PC with no mods.

I've been having this issue since the patch day. I hope they fix it on their next patch, it's annoying.

@crinrict It was the grieving buff that last 2 days, it seems to have disappear for now, however my other sim has this problem with the afraid of the dark buff : it appears even in broad daylight everytime he goes outside (in the world of Moodwood Mill).

@Wilaya21 Do you still have the feat trait ? MWM can be a scary world, maybe it's on purpose ? Do you have it in other worlds too ? What a forgotten hallow ? Do you get it there too ?

Good Luck

Constantly re-occuring "scared of the dark moodlet"

★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Newest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them, other than werewolves
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure
What happens when the bug occurs? Two of my kids have a permanent fear of the dark moodlet, even though they are outside during the day in the sun the moodlet still appears. The fear was already cured, first through achieving "confident" status outside in the dark, then through the potion. The fear itself is gone from their personality trait, but the moodlet still appears constantly whenever they go outside, regardless of whether or not it is day. It's like they got some anxiety disorder and hate being outside
What do you expect to see? I expect that when the fear is cured, the fear moodlet stop appearing. I expect my children to be allowed to go outside without getting scared of the dark, particularly when it is daytime and sunny outside.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After the last two patches, the first big bad one and then the emergency repair patch

There isn't more to say. The "scared of the dark" moodlet should not be a permanent issue for my kids, who are now teenagers and long since had their fear cured.

Scared Buff for non-existent fear

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

I've run into a weird issue that I haven't seen before since the update that adds fears to Sims 4. One of my sims developed a fear of the dark. She got rid of it but is still receiving the scared buff constantly despite not having the fear. This also happens during the day (weather related?) and at night while staying in lit rooms (not sure if that's supposed to happen... if so, disregard this part). I ended up getting a fear-be-gone potion from the rewards store to see if it would fix but as the sim in question doesn't even have the fear anymore it wasn't effective. 

 

Update: It shows up during the day regardless of weather. It happens whether it's cloudy or not.

@Kitkatkatiexsims This could be a bug. BUT the fear-be gone potion may only reset the trasit until the next time it is triggered. Fear is a temporary trait which means it comes and goes. You can remove the fear trait by facing it head on with a confident mood. I think there are cheat codes for cheats and I think the MCCC can control traits  There is also a way to remove a trait from the list. of traits. hth

I did get it removed by doing that. The problem is the scared buff STILL shows up despite not having the fear. The buff is specifically for the fear of the dark that the sim no longer has, regardless of if it’s dark or not. The sim just constantly suffers from a +2 scared moodlet. I have downloaded MCC in hopes of getting rid of it but even after deleting the moodlet, it pops back up immediately afterwards.

@Kitkatkatiexsims Did you try the cheat to remove that  trait from the list of traits? This trait is a temporary trait and something may be triggering it that your sims encounters all the time to retrigger it. I have seen other posts about this trait and maybe this is a true bug (don't know). Try the cheat to remove this trait from the list and see if the helps.  hth
