Have these "fears of a dead end job" been effecting anyone else a little more lately?
I don't know if it was this latest patch update, but I haven't seen any severe effects of the "fears and wants" update until now??
I just hopped on tonight and jumped into my cop sim's household, which happened to be mid-morning in sim's time, so of course he's late for work (rotational play nightmares, lol). So I just send him to work, but when he returns, both the tense and sad buffs are there. I'm just thinking he had a rough day at the station since I couldn't 'join him at work'. Nope.... he has the tense "looming anxiety" and sadness from a "passionless job" buffs because of his FEAR of a dead-end job!
This is the first time I'm seeing this, so I thought it had to be a result of the tardiness?? (maybe he got chewed out by his co-chief and suddenly regrets his life now?) Either way, I'm not having that. I worked too hard to get him finally promoted to Chief to be burnt out already! So I quit without saving, log back in and play a different household so my cop-sim will hopefully be at work in the background and solve the problem... So I now send the 2nd household's sim to work by 10am and on-time, but once he comes home, the same tense buff from "fear of a dead end job" appears.
Okay? Maybe its just a highest-rank burnout thing then (One is the Police Chief and the other, the CEO)... Take 3: I try one more household without quitting this time. Low and behold.... the R.N. has the same two buffs as the first after her shift was already done.
Is this just a super-important-workers-are-regretting-their-life update, and we just have to get our sims out of it? Or is every employed sim suddenly succumbing to the times? I already feel like this now irl, I don't want to have to drag my virtual self out of it too LOL!
