Kind of annoyed at the scared emotion

If they are developing TS5 they need to create a "unicorns & rainbows" mode for those who cannot handle a little break in the utopia. :D

I agree and also a hard mode

If people were asking for the system to be improved I could understand. I think it's silly every sim is scared of storms too. Fears being sim specific and able to be chosen in CAS or some thing would be a nice improvement. It could include things like, being scared of certain occults, storms, water, etc.

But I'm not seeing suggestions how the system could work better for players. What I'm seeing is blanket, 'This is ruining my game play'. The implication is that these players just want it removed. It's going to get a response from those who actually enjoy the added layer of game play.

^this

personally i find it very fun to see sims being scared

(i mean anything to wipe off that creepy default smile off their face if only for seconds time)

but i would still like vampires to stay in hibernation regardless of their mood because that is sort of the point of hibernation :sweat_smile:

unless they are literally about to die they shouldn't wake up autonomously

I can't have my vampires wake up to every smallest haunting in their house you know

and there should be ways to choose what sims are scared of because only having scared of everything vs not scared of anything is kinda off

also we could add some more fears for sure even some funny nonsense ones if there was way to choose if sims are scared of things or not

Yeah, the only time the paranormal activity in my Sims house gets out of control is when I do nothing to keep the balance, like doing the ritual on the seance table or getting rid of the cursed items. Even on heroic mode with the hand it doesn't get crazy unless I do nothing to interfere. Outside of the haunted house I hardly ever see the fear emotion. I just hit summer in my game so hopefully storms will start causing more fear. I don't want it nerfed, I want it increased.

As far as I can tell from just watching Let's Plays (I have not played on a Haunted lot yet) there are a lot of players who actively try to make it worse, then freak out when it does, in fact, get worse.

I have tried making it worse, the whole heroic thing is supposed to make it worse, even when I leave it alone and do nothing to interfere with the intensity of it I don't freak out. I wish it would get bad enough to make me freak out just once even.

I'm not too crazy about it with my Sim that lives in a haunted house. She's too scared to do anything.

She won't sleep because she has a nightmare.
She'll only shower for a couple seconds then get out because she was too scared.
She won't go to the washroom because she's too scared.
Then when the emotion goes away, she sees a spooky puddle then gets scared.
Then she won't remove the puddle because she's too scared
Then she get's terrified and won't eat because she has to stand up to scream at the doll after every bite.
Etc. etc. etc.

It's not challenging gameplay, it's just obnoxious because I can't even play the game. I try to have her watch the comedy channel or do something else to give another emotional boost but it doesn't work because she won't do the thing I tell her to do.

That's YOUR choice - It's definitely a choice to have an obnoxious game, you do that - there's a lot of things that you can do make the game super easy, just follow the rules of the haunted house with the medium skill and seances. I don't understand why these kind of complaints even exist about things that are just about properly understanding how the game works.

This is what I am afraid. Adding depth into the game and players complaining that t will be too annoying. What's next when they add deeper personalities they will complain how sims react differently and then annoying with sims living with oppossite traits?

The team just can't seem to satisfy everone even when there are Ootions.

The team should never had priorized satisfying some clients instead of presenting an in depth game in the first place. Product quality should have always be first.

Of course they cannot. Not even with toggles :)

As there would need to be so many toggles that going thru all of them literally would take an hour or more , to even satisfy almost everyone :)
As there is always someone/someones who does not like it, or the toggle what they would of needed is missing :)

If this gets nerfed I am going to LOSE it!
