[FIXED] Fear of Dead End Job not Conquered/Excessive

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
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? 1.90.375.1230
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have every expansion, game, stuff pack and kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a sim until you get the fear of dead end job trait. Then attempt to regain passion.
What happens when the bug occurs? Initially, the regain passion button isn’t there most days despite top mood and prep for work - it’s more frequently there after work. But, on the instances that it is, you hit regain passion, your sims 50/50s on feeling positive or still not passionate. If your sim gets the positive mood let, you send them to work and they still do not conquer the fear.
What do you expect to see? On completing the prerequisites to overcome the fear, I expect the fear to be conquered and disappear.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The patch before and installation of high school years

I’ve not been able to conquer this fear once, despite meeting the prerequisites four or five times (which is really difficult because the regain passion button isn’t there often). Ended up having to buy the potion for this fear every time, which is irritating because my sim is getting this fear the most frequently of all fears. Even gets this fear when they’re in the job of their ambition.

    Fear of Unfulfilled Dreams and Fear of Dead End Job will appear less often and feel appropriate when they do


    Fixed in Patch 1.96.365/1.71

    How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)

    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game and stuff packs
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim go to work. They will 95% of the time come back with "fear of dead end job." this happens even when the job is perfect for their personality ex: a writer for someone who is a creative book worm, they get this fear. When you complete the "regain passion for job" action, it does not work. Ever. They will still have this fear.
    What happens when the bug occurs? 95% of the time sims come home with "fear of dead end job." this happens even when the job is perfect for their personality ex: a writer for someone who is a creative book worm, they get this fear. When you complete the "regain passion for job" action, it does not work. Ever. They will still have this fear. This makes the sim constantly tense with no way to end it.
    What do you expect to see? I expect the fear of a dead end job to: A) appear far less often B) go away once the sim has completed the "regain passion for job" action.

  • I'm having this problem too my sim is in high-school and has both the livestreamer job and the programming after school activity.  She got the fear from the livestreaming job, and I had her complete a day of work with the positive moodlet from regain passion, and the fear is still there.  Even the reward potion is not removing the fear.

  • January was my first chance to use Wants and Fears because the HSY patch broke my game. I just had to wipe everything and start again to play. I added an athlete with the Active Trait, and switched between the athletic aspirations. She loves sport and was doing well at work, earning quick promotions and happiest when at the gym or jogging. But every day she arrived home depressed with Fear of Dead End Job. Even after promotions. She was absolutely miserable. I just had to disable Wants and Fears. It was making her a misery to play. It's clearly broken.

    But now if course I can't earn those extra points. I miss Whims. There was nothing wrong with them. If they were random you just swapped them out. Just like I had to disable Lifestyles and Neighbourhood Stories because they too were so flawed.

    I'm on Xbox Series S.

    Yes I turned off wants and fears because this fear was popping up constantly. It’s really annoying when you are playing one of the Get To Work careers where you follow them to their job because I’ve found the only way to conquer the fear is to send them to their job alone.
