How can I get my sim not to be afraid of all plants now?

I was experimenting with letting my sim who wants to become a Grim Reaper die in a number of ways or at least almost die so she would be prepared to take on the role.  So she grew a cow plant and let it gobble her up and since she had a Death Flower in her inventory it spit her out.

Only now she is too terrified of plants to care for her plants.   This never happened before when sims would be eaten and spit back.  Is there a counseling service that can help?  Will it fade over time?  Luckily she is also a magic user so she had the spell to tend to her plants magically.  That hasn't failed her.  But I would like to know why she is so afraid because she also has the "Brave" trait so that should have lessened the fears. 

Maybe just a glitch ... I mean and undocumented feature... in the game?

    You need to check in the fear bubble, it says there how to overcome your sims fear. I found this on the net regarding fear of cowplants. 

    Fear of Cowplant

    Cowplants are living plant/animal hybrids capable of eating a whole Sim. If a Sim gets swallowed and then spat out, they develop an intense fear of Cowplants. To get over this fear, let the Sim successfully Milk a Cowplant, while being Confident.

    It's part of the wants and fears system. Sims develop fears from time to time which they can overcome. Sometimes next to wants, you see a special want with a spiky bubble. That's the way to overcome the fear. Read what you have to do and follow the instructions.

    Alternatively, you can:

    • Check the Rewards store from the aspiration panel. There's a potion that can remove fears.
    • Use this cheat: traits.remove_trait trait_Fear_Cowplant

    The Brave trait was introduced before the fears were (with the Scared emotion rather). Funnily, it only prevents two fears: Fear of the Dark and Fear of Ghosts (list might be incomplete). Traits that prevent the Fear of Cowplants are Green Fiend, Super Green Thumb, and being a PlantSim. I agree, it's not a good decision to have the Brave trait only prevent a few fears.
