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? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Vampires, Get to Work
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start from a saved game. If you've disabled Wants & Needs previously, they will still appear over your Sim's portrait despite being disabled. This happens when you start a new game, edit a household in CAS, go to Manage Worlds, or pick up from where you last left off on a given save file.
What happens when the bug occurs? Wants & Needs still appear despite being disabled in Gameplay options. One must re-enable Wants & Needs, hit Apply, then disable and hit Apply again for them to disappear. They stay gone until you go to CAS/Manage Worlds/start from your last save.
What do you expect to see? I expect that Wants & Needs stay gone when I've disabled them. I don't expect to have them re-appear each time I go to CAS/Manage Worlds/start from my last save file. This happens whether or not I've got Custom Content/mods added.
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. I got the latest patch (August 2nd hotfix for rapid aging/inappropriate family relationships).
I pretty much explained what the problem is. Wants & Needs re-appear above my Sims' portraits even though I've got them disabled. It shows in Game Options > Gameplay that they are disabled, yet they're still there. I have to check "Show Wants & Fears," hit Apply, then disable Wants & Fears and hit Apply again. It's only a temporary fix; if I go to CAS, Manage Worlds, or restart my game/go to the main menu, they show up again as if they're enabled. It's the same thing each time.
I moved your post over to a different thread for this. This is for the toggle resetting when travelling.
The other was occurring before the E-Patch and I don't think it's the same issue.
If you clicked me too on the other thread, make sure to click me too here too.
@LadyDarkSorrow I merged your post with the bug report

I played for a while last night, and the Wants/Fears reappear (despite the setting being toggled off) every single time a household loads.
It even happened at one point when I was playing two sims from a household who were on vacation in Granite Falls and when I had the remaining household members join the vacation everyone suddenly had Wants/Fears again. That doesn't even generate a loading screen - just loaded the additional sims.
It's a pretty annoying nuisance to have to keep going in and fixing it over and over again. I hope they can address this sooner than later.

All of the toggles in the settings are broken. I have 'bust the dust' switched on in pack settings; but I've not seen a single dust bunny appear even once all the way through spring. This is making the asperation 'perfectly pristine' impossible to achieve.

I strongly suspect this is related to the issue that more and more players have where the game will reset back to an earlier time. For some reason, TS4 can no longer retain information properly, to the point where no error messages are generated since the game has just completely lost the plot and has no idea anything problematic has even happened.

Same here. Driving me crazy - I don't want - wants and fears active. I disable it everytime but it just comes back on again - travelling - going into CAS - relogging. Everytime I have to go into gameplay click the wants and fears box - apply - then click the wants and fears box off again - then hit apply. They disappear until I do one of the above. It's really annoying and spoils my gameplay having to keep interupting it to click these off!
