I don't have the paranormal pack. I have only seen one scared sim, and it wasn't the one I was playing.

Just updating: I have seen a second scared sim. The Foxbury mascot showed up at a Britechester rally, and one of the students was scared of him. I thought it was pretty funny. I imagined he had a run in with a lobster when he was a child. Probably stuck his hand in one of those lobster tanks at the market and got pinched. I haven't seen anyone else mention this fear.

Hahaha I love that ??

I really like the scared emotion. It’s adding more realistic behaviour to the game. I love the how the Sims portrait shows it.

Unpopular Opinion:

If People are annoyed let them be annoyed. Just because certain things dont happen in your game doesnt make it invalid and its not always caused by mods.
If you write in a dedicated thread that you are annoyed by it and all the people are jumping at you??? Why are you even here. I mean of course i can delete the feature and stuff but at the same time i can also voice my opinion about why i am annoyed by it.
And why the angsty mood? Why would EA/Maxis nerf it, when this pack/update seems like a hit. Why would they listen to the minoritie and spend time and ressources into removing stuff.
And why put the blame on the ones that are annoyed by it like they have a say... or that big of an influence in the sims 4. Beggers are not choosers and EA/Maxis barely listens anyway. They now what we want but at the end of the day its their game and we barely get a say and dont now the full picture off why exactly certain things were nerfed in the past (Vampires)


Ehm... anyway

Would be cool if Sim were scared by fires. x

only annoyed when my vampires wake up from hibernation cause they live in haunted house and get scared like eh come on I'm sure he doesn't care how cursed it is around him while he snooz

better get him brave trait i guess

didnt really have sims even get scared minus the new pack tho

Anyone else isn't crazy about the new scared emotion? If you don't play the new stuff pack, the sims just get scares for dumb reasons and start screaming at others. I rather have them go back to being tense in some cases.

I still need to experiment the fear emotion. Annoying? pff, as i said, since the update, nothing for me. I dont think people is going to go crazy for something that barely exists in the game unless you force it.

outside the stuff pack my sims barely get scared

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.

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.

I'm pretty sure that all sims are scared of thunder (minus the ones that have the the special storm chaser trait). Some sims are scared of water, others aren't. I dunno what exactly determines that.

The storm chaser reward trait is very cheap and will stop them being scared of storms.
The childs night light completely removes the monster under the bed.

Outside of haunted houses my sims are scared of storms, the monster under the bed and I have one sim with the fear of water phobia. Hardly over whelming and the scared moodlet itself is usually over ridden by decor or other things so I personally would prefer it to be stronger. And carry a risk of death.

I'm not doing to give my sims reward if it's not part of their story. I also play challenges and I need my satisfaction points.

I guess my sims' emotions work differently do to Meaningful Stories mod that is made to create better emotional balance. I guess that's a good thing because it's not a very good sign when a sim was more concerned about poor decor than scared.
