I think adding fear would go a long way for all the sims as well as fears like fear of death fear of divorce fear of someone cheating on you
fear of ghost fear of monsters fear of losing your job
Fear is definitely needed! It makes no sense that "tense" happens instead of fear in certain situations.
I agree. It makes even less sense when you wonder why cats and dogs have fears and sims don’t.
so true this needs to be fixed I mean even kids are scared of the monster under the bed
and then adults and teens fear nothing its really odd and it makes the game feel unbalanced
I'm sure we're not the only ones that feel that way @MidnightAura
I agree. I don't understand why fear isn't in game. It's been in previous games and it's a valid emotional it doesn't make sense to not have it particularly for children and monsters under the bed.
EA is trying to make every new Sims game as different from all earlier Sims games as possible. For the Sims 4 the decision became to do this by focusing much more on happiness and autonomous behavior. So it was the more focus on happiness that made fear something that really didn’t suit the game.
I agree though that fear should be there. But that is because I am not interested in more happiness and more autonomy because I am a gamer who like challenges. Even so I am not in the main target group of very young girls who get TS4 as their very first game. So I just have to accept that this game isn’t a game for me.
But even though TS4 theoretically could be “fixed” this doesn’t interest me because I know for sure that it won’t ever happen! We have to wait for the next Sims game instead and hope that it will focus on something better for us than autonomy and happiness.
