Hi, apologies in advance if this has been mentioned before, I've looked and can't find anything about it.
I play on ps4, everytime I load my game to play sims have wants/fears bubble on their heads. I go to game option and there is no tick in the box, so they should not be there! I have to tick the box and untick it for the bubbles to go away. Is this a fault? Surely if it's been disabled and no tick in the box when I start, they should not have the bubbles or wants/fears. Is anyone else having this problem? TIA 😊

Same here...I never use those and my Sim wakes up in a panic every morning that her boyfriend might be cheating on her.......

I have the same problem. Wants and needs are turned off and they come back all the time.

Hi,
Further to my last post I went through all my games and turned Fears and Wants off. I do not wish to do all that again when you fix it. So leave it off by default this time to avoid getting angry customers. This IMHO should be tested before it is released. This indicates poor Quality Control or Coders who are incompetant. Not good enough EA and under U.K. law we can ask for our money back if the software is not fit for purpose. There are so many bugs in this game it's only because of the good nature of your customers that all in the U.K. have not demanded all their money back. I have spent a considerable amount over the years and so have many others.
Kind regards James.

I don't want the “wants and fears” feature. I have toggled them off in game options. Nevertheless every time I switch to a different Sim family the wants and fears bubbles reappear. When I go to game options they are still appearing to be toggled off. Nevertheless there they are on the screen for every Sim. If I go back into the game options and re-toggle and un-toggle the wants/fears button they will then disappear. But this is an annoying process to have to repeat every time I switch to a different family every time I log on to play. Is this a problem or will it always be this way? Why isn't untoggling them in game options a universal thing?
