Did Growing Together add new Wants and Fears?

For those who have the pack, have you noticed any new additions to the wants and fears system?

    I don't know any new wants, but it does bring a new fear to children: Fear of Being Inferior. It is tied to childhood confidence feature.

    This is the first and only fear for children (all the other fears can't come to children). And it is exclusive to children too, so teens and older can't get this fear.

    There's also a Fear of Failure for Teen+. This fear happens more or less regularly based on Teen Self-Esteem. So keeping a kid's confidence high leads to less Fear of Failure later too.

    That isn't new, but yeah, the self esteem traits will affect that too.
  • Yep, can confirm that cooking a Poor quality dish or crafting a Poor quality item could trigger a Fear of Failure since well before the pack.
