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? 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, Werewolves, Dream Home Decorator, Realm of Magic, Parenthood, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Tiny Living, Moschino, Laundry Day
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Acquire the fear "Fear of darknesss", then get over it by being confident in the dark. After conquering the fear, let your sim stand outside for a while during the day (speeding up may help get the moodlet earlier). I got the glitch after my sim had gotten and conquered the fear twice.
What happens when the bug occurs? If the glitch occurs, the sim who conquered the fear will get the "Afraid of the Dark" moodlet during the day when standing outside.
What do you expect to see? The sim in question, who doesn't even have a fear of darkness, would not get the "Afraid of the Dark" moodlet by going outside during the day.
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. Before updating to version 1.90.358.1030, the version which added Wants/Fears, I removed all mods, then updated. I continued to play without mods.
Attached a screenshot of my sim having the Wants/Fears glitch in question. Note that the in-game time is10:46 AM, and that my sim got the "Afraid of the Dark" moodlet 2 hours ago (The moodlet lasts 4 in-game hours. When outside, it continuously stays at 4 hours). Wants/Fears are turned on, and my sim does not have the "Fear of darkness" trait, also shown in the screenshot. Not depicted: When the sim stands outside for a certain amount of time, the moodlet will go back to lasting 4 hours and won't disappear until the sim goes inside and the 4 hours pass.
