All elders have fear of death?
Is this just me or have others noticed this as well? I don't often play with the elder life stage, because my Sims are typically immortal for story purposes. I was finding it odd though that nearl...

The fear of the dark is the worst for me. Impossible to get rid of without going confident outside, and if you are trying to get your sim to "search for the truth" you need to be focused, not terrified or scared, not confident, just focused. It has literally killed my storytelling attempts at alien abduction with one of my sims -_-
Having the "brave trait" doesn't help, at all, or reduce the chance of fears. It was added in and really does more Gameplay harm than good. I'd gladly throw out all my aspiration points for a fearless reward trait to purchase to prevent my sims from getting this. I'm not sure what the devs were thinking with this one either. I mean, why didn't they just pay someone to play with it first for a week. Surely that person would've pointed out it just takes over the whole game and not in a good way.
Yup, the brave trait only prevents the fear of dark and the fear of ghosts. The fear of death has no traits that prevent it.
I do think that the fear of death should come to elders who have the fear of unfulfilled dreams or some such, because the main thing would be that "I'm not ready to go yet! I haven't fulfilled my goals!" thing. But other than that, I don't see a point of the fear of death for all elders. Yes, it does keep them from doing risky things, but it also makes them run away from the Grim Reaper.
I know that the High School Years were developed with teen life stage in mind, but elders are long no longer teens!
