Please use this thread going forward: Fear of Swimming triggered without apparent cause | EA Forums - 4950983
This just happened to my sim again…in the town area of Stangerville. She is Paranoid but this also happened before she got the trait. It doesn’t happen to any of my other sims, but repeatedly to this one. I’m on console so no mods.
Same here but I am in Oasis Springs. One sim acts like they have it even with wants and fears turned off.
@bc0414scI'm also in Oasis Springs. I actually had the fear of the dark bug with a few of my sims, but while they would act scared of the dark, they didn't have the trait. So I manually fixed it by giving them the trait with the cheat and having them face their fear by being confident outside. But when I put a pool on a lot, one of my sims started acting scared of the pool and like you, I had turned fears off at that point lol. So I was perplexed on why he had the fear, and the fear didn't show up in his traits. I'm thinking that you'll also need to apply the fear with a cheat and have them swim in the pool while confident, but I'm not sure what the code is for fear of swimming. Made a few guesses that didn't work.
Update: I turned on wants and fears again to see what would happen. The sim is no longer scared of swimming.
