With the thought of a person blowing into a balloon, that tends to tell me that your Sim is scared of something.
A few questions:
- Is your Sim in an apartment that has the "Needs TLC" trait? It could be they are encountering things like roaches, sewage backup, mice, a broken circuit breaker, or leaky pipes.
- Is there a Ghost living on your lot, or does the lot have the "Haunted" trait? Encountering possessed objects, or a ghost themselves can cause a Sim to be scared.
- Are they interacting with anything that could cause them to be scared? (The trick-or-treat bowl from Spooky Stuff for example can scare Sims.)
- Is it raining/thunderstorming outside? (Seasons), lightning bolts that strike near the Sim's location can cause them to be scared.
- Does your Sim have the Squeamish trait? (Squeamish Sims can be nervous or tense around things they find disgusting or unsanitary.)
Hopefully this helps narrow it down; if you can think of any specific situations where it comes up as well, I might be able to further pinpoint it.
