The only thing that really makes a Sim scared is thunderstorms. Oh, there's a few other things, but they burn off within an hour or two. This shows how much effort they really put into 'Fear' in base-game.

And the scared moodlet is often overridden. I have a snob sim in an empty starter and she barely got scared during a thunderstorm because the house was poorly decorated!

Understandable for a snob, under the roof he isn't in life danger anymore and now he could take care of the most important important things, like the poorly decorated house. What could other Sims think of him, it's embarressing. :D

I'm okay with the scared emotions, I like them exactly how they are.

That's something I noticed. The scared emotion is overridden extremely easy as everyone says. Don't know yet if it's a good thing or bad thing but I think they tried hard to keep it tame.
Unless something major happens in real life most fear is passive. Like seeing bugs or being around water or heights. Normally as soon as you are away from the thing that made you scared you move on and forget about it pretty quick.
So I think it's pretty tame and realistic.

Now what I would like to see is phobias you can choose and sentiments related to them. Including fear that last longer for major things like fires.

I have liked my sims getting scared more than I expected. The emotion feels better balanced - again - than I expected it to be. One point where I really didn't like it is that I have a vampire with day phobia and she often wakes up with daymares. She used to get +4 tense in combination and not be able to do pretty much anything. Now she just gets +2 tense +2 scared and can fuction normally. That's what I was kind of worried of, that the new emotion would lessen the effect of negative emotions. It's not a huge thing though, I'll just have to adjust to her being more capable again or get her one rank up in day phobia (is that enough to make her unfunctional again?).

I haven't had a sim get scared once to the point where it overrid the other emotions.

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.

I don't force them to be scared of thunder, so nah

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.

Well if you won't use the options available to stop them being scared and you use a mod to make emotions more meaningful and last longer, I don't understand what the problem is? You seem to be deliberately making it worse for yourself and then complaining?

I didn't know the mod would make the emotion kind of annoying, if that's even the reaosn why. And I was not complaining, talking about some things you don't like is something I see on here all the time, so I don't see why I can't express something without "complaining" SHM
Next time ignore me, thanks.

After seeing how often a sim is scared.....I absolutely understand why we don’t have “scared to death”.
Sims are scared so frequently that we would probably have an entire neighborhood die within a sim week ?
