To be honest, a toggle that turns ALL weather effects off is not the same thing as a toggle for weather related deaths. People who want a toggle to prevent death but not to prevent the uncomfortable moodlet aren't being inconsistent, they are wanting varied difficulty levels.
I am sure people are right that the scared emotion will annoy people if it is actually more intrusive than the tense emotion. Those screaming fits could be really annoying if they happen to sims that you don't think of as cowards. And the game will absolutely make that decision for you- who will have screaming fits versus a less extreme reaction is as random as who will have thassalaphobia(sp?) and who will be upset vs excited about discovering an alien. You will not actually have control over the personality of your sim until you earn the rewards points to change them.
It will in fact be super annoying if some of my vampire sims have the extreme fear reactions, just as it's annoying that the mermaid is afraid of the thunderstorms she calls, or that the sim who grew up in BB by the ocean is now afraid to be in his backyard because when he went to Sulani he developed a fear of the ocean out of nowhere.
To be clear I do not want fear, or phobias, nerfed. I just want a way to actually impact which of my sims will have these reactions, straight out of CAS without having to earn rewards points to change them.
It would just be nice if the personality still had spectrums like in Sims 2 and if they could include things like fears occults vs loves occults and cowardly versus brave up front instead of costing either a trait slot or rewards points to actually create the sim with the personality you want instead of half the decisions being made by the game since you only have three traits to choose.
Anyway, all that said, anyone who uses the haunted lot type and then complains about it should be ignored. People who already have a toggle to avoid exactly what they want to avoid should use it. The fact that some people complain even when there is a toggle is not an argument against toggles. Some people will complain about everything and anything. But fewer will complain when they are given choices than when they are not.
