Yeah but its not good, she has to live on salads and blt's now :D , because anything she cooks is fire, I even got a sprinkler system in her house now. I wonder if it dropped with the update today mmmm

Yes, it's new with the update. One of the fears. :)

I watched a let's play with James Turner pre-pack show of the gameplay and his sim had a fear of a dead end job. He seemed to conquer the fear by getting promoted. So I would think its possible to overcome them.

One of my sims got that fear after catching on fire and my sims weren't autonomously extinguishing the fire like usual. I had to click on them to do it but I also noticed a sprinkler magically appeared. I never seen that before.

This is a new feature from the new update.

There is a spiked bubble to the right of your sim's profile. This is a way to conquer the fear.

Plus you can also get a potion that removes fears from the rewards store.

I saw that in a list of new fears and thought "that doesn't sound fun".

It's kinda annoying how many of my sims developed that water fear that made them tense when they went swimming (and one guy got tense in his own home, when he wasn't even near water). But now they added a new fear of water and a bunch of other fears.


Why would fear of fire increase your chances of accidentally starting fires? My rl mom is afraid of fire, and that makes more careful to not start fires than people who don't have that fear. So why would fear of fires make sims more likely to start them?

If you have a magic user in your home that knows the "copypasto" spell, you can buy the "fear-be-gone" potion from the rewards store for 300; then but the potion on the ground, use that spell & create many of them. I keep extras in my all of my sims inventory in case another fear happens.

Here, it should look like this. Hovering over the spiked bubble with the fire in it tells you what to do.

Thanks all for your comments :) Thanks @EgonVM for that explanation. Once I am back on my computer then I will try and overcome the fear using those bubbles I thought was whims because its a new save game.
