Kind of annoyed at the scared emotion

I actually barely noticed the emotion existed until I started playing in a haunted residential. :#

Nope, I love them and also think this was a great addition to the game. They make me laugh every time. :D

Not really. I found it pretty good in normal situations. Like I had a sim get scared after being terrorized by some kinda bug ?I thought it was pretty funny/realistic. I would definitely be scared tense wouldn't be enough. And I had a few other similar situations but no sims screaming at eachother or going crazy with fear outside of the haunted house.

It was more like a passive fear which I like.

What kind of situations are you referring to?

outside the stuff pack my sims barely get scared

I love them. XD Haven't had sims be too scared unless on a haunted lot.

Though I do see that they do get scared from thunderstorms and you can see townies running in the rain in fear to get out of it which I LOVE. The fear emotion seems to come up when appropriate and not overly empowering. Child sim gets scared from monster under the bed.

I haven't started playing with the paranormal content yet and i barely noticed the new emotion.

In a thunderstorm day my sims got scared instead of tense but they just run inside as they usually did and haven't screamed incoherently or at each other or did anything out of normal...

My kids also act as they did before when they feel a monster in their beds but i think it's much more adequate to be scared at it then it was to be tense.

I'm pretty happy with the scared emotion overall.

Lucky you, my sims get scares of swimming, get scared of lighting, get scared of monsters under the bed and just end up running around an screaming at everyone else in the household. I would like the emotion more if they didn't do that because of some lighting strikes.

of swimming? didn't know sims could get scared of swimming, is it for the mermaids? as for the other situations you mentioned, i don't play with kids so i don't see any monster under the bed, and so far there have been barely no thunderstorms (i'm playing on Forgotten Hollow, dunno if weather there is meant to be so dry lol). also i get use of mods like ui cheats extension, which means i can right click any moodlet that annoys me and it gets removed, if you're on pc and not against mods i recommend you this one, it really makes gameplay a lot better :)

What traits do the sims you're talking about have? Like is it every sim you play with, or only certain ones?

I haven't played the game in a little while since I've been busy adding builds from the gallery in a new save file, so I can't speak from experience. But, to be fair, I find a lot of these fears realistic personally. I'm very afraid of lightning in real life and terrified of the dark too.

The only Sims that I've seen get scared are the Roswells and the Sigworths. They did it at the Romance Festival and again in a restaurant that I was testing. So far, none of my own Sims have gotten scared. Maybe it depends on skills or aspirations. Most of my Sims have Knowledge or Nature aspirations and decent skill levels. I hope it doesn't get nerfed. I want to see it.
