Is this creepy or just me....?

I'm assuming this came with the update where Sims know that they are being controlled? Cause my Sim won't get rid of the angry emotion that she can't do what she wants to do and thinks that she's missing out on something and is very angry at whatever is controlling her. And I also had something pop up in the notifications about something similar too that the Sims are catching on that someone might be controlling them. Is this a weirdly new emotion or a glitch? I hope it goes away cause not only is it annoying, but it's sort of creepy.

    It's related to the new wants and fears system, and I think it comes up if you don't fulfil their every wish... super annoying! I turned wants and fears off because of it, and now it's gone.
  • I guess it’s the new fear of unfulfilled dreams if you have wants and fears turned on. It appears when your sim is not doing whatever pops up as their wants. At first they get tense moodlet +2 but later it should escalate. To get rid of it, you do one want that is active and then discuss the fear with other sim. They will get confident moodlet for conquering the fear. If you want this to be absent just turn off the wants and fears from option menu.

    And yes, when this fear appears you get notification about someone controlling sim’s life preventing them from achieving their dreams.
  • Aw ok it’s just so creepy to me at least! I could probably just remove the moodlet if it affects gameplay too much but still. It’s weird.
