Same. I hate Fear of Dead End Job. Virtually all my sims have it now. And I’ll get rid of it and then immediately it comes back. I wish we could turn just the fears off. The wants I actually like.

@Eryyk5551 @ I had the same problem. But it has been fixed now
My Sim also hates his Job calls it dead end and refuses to build his skills. He's Ambitious Romantic Bro and even has professional slacker.
- @x48vyj8hh2g4 if you haven't already tried it you can toggle off wants and fears in Game Options. You can always get them back later but it will help. I've just had to do this myself as my Sim was so miserable despite having the skills, aspiration and love of all things sporty...she came home sobbing daily from her job as an athlete. I toggled off wants and fears and she was fine after that, like a little ray of sunshine instead lol and happy in her work!

I had 3 teenage sims all take part time jobs and it was supposed to be fun for them. They all worked up to the top level of barista, shop assistant etc.. and it was okay at first.
But then one of them always got fear of job, and when I fixed them another one got it. They were always anxious and stressed and in the end I just quit the jobs because they were too unhappy.
I guess can turn off wants and fears but I don’t mind the system so much, this particular one seems a bit much though. I guess with one sim it’s okay but it’s so frequent with several working sims.

- gooochyeee3 years agoSeasoned Ace@simsplayer818 you can but i wish wants and fears had a seprate toggle
- @gooochyeee I do too, I miss getting the extra few reward points for fulfilling them. With it turned off my Sims are taking longer to achieve rewards.

My workaround for this problem is turn off Wants and Fears, Apply Changes, then immediately turn Wants and Fears back on, and Apply Changes. That removes the trait associated with the Fear so all I have to do is wait for the moodlet to end. It's not perfect, but it's the best I could come up with so that I can still get Satisfaction Points from fulfilling Wants without being overwhelmed by the stupid Fears.
I do mean STUPID. It's absolutely idiotic to punish Sims for getting job promotions.
