    Sul sul everyone!

    Thank you for raising your concerns with adult Sims being scared of thunderstorms!

    The team considers this to be working as intended. Even adult Sims will be scared and receive a Tense Scared of Thunderstorms buff while inside on a lot with a Thunderstorm. If they are out in the storm, they should receive a stronger Tense What Am I Doing Out Here?! buff instead.
    To provide you with some further insight: Sims with a Loves Outdoors & Insane personality will never receive either of those buffs. Also, Sims who are Self-Assured and Sims in the Confident Emotion do not get the Scared of Thunderstorms buff.

    With all of that being said, we definitely appreciate your feedback so if you see any other issues with this feature, feel free to let us know!

    Thanks so much and Happy Simming! 🥳

@SimGuruKuxiku Makes totally sense. I think we are talking about real heavy thunderstorms and not the casual everyday ones. Having experienced Typhoons in real life, I'd be scared too if one is capable of striking objects (and even Sims) and destroying them in an instant just a few feet away from you. We can be glad that storms like these don't ruin our lots and homes entirely.
