Re: Fix the fear whim!
In order for the ability to discuss a fear to appear you must first fulfil the associated want.
The fear of dark does not seem to be associated with wants and fears so you need to find out what causes it. Perhaps a mod.

Thanks for your reply!
I have tried to complete those fear/whims that are in the spikey looking whim bubble but it does not seem to work or provide me with a cathartic discuss option. So I always use a fear-be-gone potion. Perhaps I am missing something? Are there multiple whims connecting the fears? I am a console player, if this makes any difference.
As for the permanent fear of the dark sim (Iseul is his name a completely separate sim now) he's afraid as he saw Nalani after dark so that made him petrified of the dark being that she is an occult sim. I successfully transitioned him into an occult sim - merman after she became pregnant with his children. However, this has not solved my issue he still runs about and screams in his kids faces scaring them. I am a little loathed to use any mods as I have had previous issues with them. I avoid any CC as it seems to glitch my sims game(s) out completely. Sadly as there are some nice looking mod materials out there. It is sometime since I had a fear but as I remember there was only one want that I needed to fulfil.
Since you are on console you can not have any Mods/CC. It may be a bug. I recommend you post about that in the console forum so someone more familiar with console can answer that part.
The Fear of the dark can get stuck on your sim. Here is the bug report for it; https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-HSY-Sim-Still-Holds-Fear-of-being-afraid-of-the-dark-after/td-p/11667795
All other fears don’t get stuck but they are to aggressiv in a vanilla game. Ah, and NPC(inkl. cats + dogs) can get fears too which makes no SENSE at all. Sadly, as console player you need to wait that the team will fix (or improve) the whole system.
All other player I would recommend using bienchens whim overhaul. She has too a module which fix the bug above and make fears less appear (if you want to play with fears and don’t remove it)
Yeah, I know I wrote the bug report for it. I meant for people which don’t want to use mods which remove fears complete. For myself I use *Sims Get No Fears* (ModTheSims) from TearsofTyr. I use this mod only because my sims got fears as this toggle stop working after a short CAS visit.
I was never interested in whims. I tried the new system and NO; I don’t need that this game tells my what my sims want or from what my sims has fears. Because this end only with stupidity as my immortal vampire get fear of the dark/dead or my top criminal get fear of dead end job.
Wants are too always the same; Listen to music station X and Y if your sim likes more as one music station and the best want… break up with your fate mate! I hope they will improve the whole system, at least for console/vanilla player.
- @daikoyu The new patch did not update Wants &
Fears at all or allow a proper disabling of the system
