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? 1.92.145.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I do not own: Batuu, Strangerville, My first pet, Toddler, Bowling night, Kids room, Movie hangout, Spooky, Cool kitchen, Carnival kit, Modern menswear kit, Industrial loft, Fashion street kit, Bust the dust kit, Throwback fit kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have an elder talk to someone about fear of death ("discuss fears").
What happens when the bug occurs? The fear does not disappear, nor the want to discuss it
What do you expect to see? For the want to be fulfilled, fear gone and get the mood boosted.
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. Updated to 1.92.145.1030, before this it was fine.

I am having this issue after the latest update, as well. I believe it's actually all of the fears, but certainly the death one.

by the pictures, you discussed with the blond sim to the far right?
To me, that doesn't look like an elderly sim or a ghost.

Got the same issue in my brand new game save. Discussing other fears such as 'stuck in dead-end job' fulfil, but discussing 'fear of death' does not, and the fear won't go away.

@TheSimsDirect I wish I had seen this sooner, when I played on vanilla after the update, it was still not fulfilling. I did not notice the pattern but now it fulfils sometimes, maybe after doing the interaction 3 or 4 times, but I cannot say it works for all Sims and all the time. I had put the mods back now so I cannot send the save. But I have screenshots. Young adult Sim talking to an Adult Sim. The action is not fulfilling, but she gained a sentiment from talking to her.

The thought bubble you’re hovering over describes what you need to do to get rid of the fear - Click on a Ghost or Elderly Sim or obtain a Death Flower and give it to the Grim Reaper.

Same here. I'm having this issue with all fears that require you to discuss fears with another sim and having difficulty in general overcoming fears by doing the required tasks (ie sims put out a fire but it will not overcome their fear)
