Adult sims being scared of thunderstorms

Hello,
I don't know if there is a better place for this or not. Is it possible to make it so adult sims are not scared of thunderstorms? I think it would make sense for babies, toddlers and even children, but it is really bizarre to see a teen or adult running around inside their house because of lightning. I didn't like them being tense before but I'd vastly prefer that to being scared.
Thanks so much!

    Thank you for the explanation, it's good to know that you are present, even if not always seen.

    I just love it when my storm chaser Sims are wondering about in the storm and get hit by lightning. Their moods turns into energetic for a couple of hours and they definitely get more work done than normally. As soon as my toddler Sims age up and have enough aspiration points I buy them this reward. After that there is no problem anymore. To me it is all in the game.

    Have fun playing. 😉

    One of my grandmas was afraid of thunderstorms as an adult, and I was terrified of them until my teens when I started kind of liking them! 🤣 I also had a friend when I was in high school that was terrified of them -- I have lost contact with her so I don't know if she is still afraid of them as an adult or not.  I have also run in to other adults who are scared of thunderstorms.  And a lot of the adults I know are only afraid of the really bad storms!  But then again I live in an area where we get some really bad storms, so that is to be expected.  

    I do agree that this would make a better personality trait. 😉

  • @Veykek Go to weather preferences in game options and turn off the thunderstorms. I got tired of the panic so I kept rain and snow but cut the blizzards (for obsessive shoveling) and thunderstorms out (for the panic)
    So it'll still rain just never thunderstorm. Haven't had any issues since I changed the setting or sim panic and no need to buy the storm chaser reward either
