Missing Emotion

Just an observation, but I've noticed an oddly missing emotional state. Fear. There's a Decoration item called "Don't Fear the Reagnomper" though, for some reason, when the Grim Reaper shows up, no one seems afraid of him. When a Sim discovers a disguised Alien, they react, but not with fear. A fire breaks out, a seeming panic ensues, but no fear emotion. There are a number of situations where fear would be the appropriate, or at least the expected, response, but it simply doesn't exist.
  • As a matter of fact, it's Orange, so that's one more repeated. I was able to check to be certain because one of my household, thanks to Wicked Whims, is Uncomfortable due to being on her... "time of the month". Definitely Orange. Gray is also repeated as well (Fine & Bored).
  • Energized is chartreuse I thought, but could be considered either on the green or yellow side depending on who you asked.

    Black would make for an interesting UI color if fear ever gets added.


    good idea @Brindleton
  • Two questions.

    First, how would a fear mood be expressed in sim behavior? And second, how would the fear moodlet be dealt with other than either leaving the presence of whatever made the sim fearful, or else just overpowering it with other moodlets?
  • Admiration should be its own emotion and should have a bar to measure how well a Sim approves of another. It would work perfectly when you bring in a Late Night/Show Time-like Expansion Pack.

    Sims who are admired feel happy and seems who admire get to fawn over their target and temporarily forget about any other emotions they may have been feeling if the sim they admire is nearby.
  • I also never noticed fear wasn't already a part of the game. Wow, fix that please.

    Add a new trait. In fact, it would have been a perfect addition with the Seasons Expansion Pack.
  • I mean, I want fear and Jealousy in the game too, however it shouldn't be an automatic emotion. in certain cases, in terms of life states.
    Some people fear the unknown, while others embrace it.
