Fear Emotion - Death by Fright?
I would love to see Fear as an emotion in the Sims 4 or the Sims 5. I was recently playing the Sims 2 and I had a sim that was scared by a ghost so much that they died by fright. I think it would ...

I don't think fear would work for everyone, as it is something that everyone experiences differently. Like some people are afraid to do things others have fun doing.
And everyone experiences happiness differently, or different things make us focused, yet they've pigeon holed that all down for us. I don't think this is a good excuse for them to not do it. However, fear is more of a trigger for some people so they likely won't add something like this for your very reason.
I wouldn't mind some fear in my game. Tense is used too often and it's not really that sensical for everything negative.
They could also add in some more traits to help with the fear emotion too for some sims, like "brave" and things like "confident" that are already in the game could have some added meaning. Paranoid and squeamish could do more too.
I think tense is fine, because it implies there is fear but sims are still doing stuff. I don't want sims to say, nope, i'm not jumping in the pool because i'm afraid of water, or no i'm not going to explore that dark cave because i'm afraid of monsters. And speaking of monsters, there is the monster under the bed for kids. So there is fear. Death by fear is just taking it to the extreme.
Yet, I would be absolutely fine with this. Although, I don't remember sims in TS2 just flat out noping an action because of "fear". They still did it, just they felt bad about it for awhile. They won't ever choose to do it on their own but if you told them to do it, they did it, even if complaining about it. Alternatively, I've had sims in TS4 nope actions because of emotions. "Too tense to do that right now" "Too sad to do that right now" etc. I kind of wish that would go away and they just soldier through because you told them too. They can still be miserable about it, but do it anyways.
I think it's realistic that they can't do stuff when they're distressed.
Yes and no. Sometimes, as a human, I might feel sad, overwhelmed, upset about something and want to just cry in bed, but I don't always... I can still do things, if I want to. Emotions don't make it so I never can't do anything. I might choose not to, but I can still do it. However, it is how it is and in TS4 sims won't do things if they aren't in the right mood, I can work around that (and have been) and I would if there was some fear in the game too.
Cycling through the same 6 emotions is tiresome now though, and it's not really enough. Adding some more would be refreshing.
Crying in bed is supposed to be the lowest of sad emotion. Like in real life, you cry then get up and do your stuff after a while.
