Re: Sim Still Holds Fear After Being Cured

Anyone else turn off wants and fears, but find that they still appear? I turned them off since they broke my game, but my sim frequently has wants showing up and occasionally has new fears added. I often have to go turn wants and fears on and then back off to make them go away, but my sim is still scared of the dark.

This is happening to me too. I have a sim that got stuck on fear of the dark, so I disabled everything and it keeps coming back. I liked whims just fine, but this is so very broken and I really hate it. The fears keep coming back- fear of a dead end job the same day my sim gets promoted? Fear of the dark will never go away and affects my sim in daylight. I wouldn't mind just wants, but the fears are awful and I can't turn them off.

I really wish they would prioritize fixing this. It messes with game play. Last night my sims were in the middle of a huge fight over him flirting with someone else, and because she had a "Want" to flirt with someone (from having the romantic trait), she kept autonomously flirting with him in the middle of the fight and losing her angry moodlet for a flirty one. Very frustrating.

Wants and Fears showing up all the time

★★★ 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? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? High School years, werewolves pack, my wedding stories, fasion street kit, city living, cottage living, paranormal stuff pack, Star Wars, nifty knitting, echo lifestyle, university, realm of magic, strangerville, tiny living, island living, get famous, seasons, cats and dogs, laundry day, Parenthood, get together, get to work, vampires, dine out, Toddler stuff, vintage glamour stuff, kids room stuff, spooky stuff, romantic garden, spa day, luxury party stuff, mochino, legacy edition, holiday celebration.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When you go to play a character the wants and fears will be shown, if you move to have it not enabled then once you create a sim or leave the game to come back, it shows up again, even if you save the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? It keeps showing wants and fears when I don't want them. And causes the moods to change.
What do you expect to see? when I go to play a character, I would like to not have to go and disable the wants and fears all the time.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I didn't make any changes, but it occurred after I bought High School years.

Attached are two screenshots showing that the wants and fears are showing up even when I don't have them enabled.

Wants and fears on even if disabled

Wants and Fears are still on even when the setting is disabled. This started happening after the latest August 2nd, update. If I go to CAS, Manage Worlds, or restart the game, they reappear. They should still be off after any of these actions, and I disabled all my packs to BG only. Simply deleted the whole Electronic Arts folder, to generate a new folder, which also deleted my mods as well. I don't know, as many others have the same issue. Can EA please find a solution or patch this up? It also occurs on another Sim on a different save. The Whims felt much more comfortable and less tough to deal with. Playing other Sim games until fixed.

its not only the toggle for wants and fears it is also the toggle for the effect of build/by items on the sims that does not work.

Since my last post, I've experienced the wants and fears reappearing randomly, not just when reloading the game or going to CAS.  Sometimes they reappear after a phone call or text about some change.  Just now, they reappeared after my sims got engaged.  As another user mentioned, I don't really care about the wants appearing.  It's the fears that wreck the game for me.  Please, someone fix this soon!

I am still having this issue as well and I’m wondering if anyone else still is? I’ve even tried uninstalling and installing the game again after trying to start new games multiple times.
