Please use this thread going forward: Sim Gets Fear of the Dark After Being Cured (Patch 1.97.42) | EA Forums - 5036599
Marked as Solution for Visibility. This is still an open issue.
@ThisMicrophone The potions seems to be still bugged. It just removes the trait but nothing else.
Try if the following steps work for you.
1. Re-add the trait with the cheat; traits.equip_trait trait_Fear_Dark
2. Wait until you get the fear resolve want.
3. Buy a confidence potion
4. Go outside in the dark and drink it.
5. The fear should resolve for good.
It is now December 13th of 2024 and I'm struggling with his issue, I've tried almost everything except for using the cheats menu. I don't want to use the cheats menu as it disables achievements and i really like the family of Sims I have and really don't want to restart, to clarify what my issue is; my sim became afraid of dark when she was a child and I assumed that it was a clever reference to little kids being afraid but she's now a teen almost young adult and it's still there, awhile never actually having the fear of dark. Plz help it's really annoying.
