My Wants and Fears Verdict: Kind of Weaksauce
I've been playing a new save (on normal aging to avoid that bug), and I've gotten to experience the new Wants and Fears system. Now, while I appreciate the work the devs put into it...it's not that go...

I am always open to try the updates and changes to
The game, but this fears and wants is exhausting and makes the game very stressful to play. I don't want to turn them off because it is rewarding when you fulfill the wants and conquers the fears. However, does the sim ever really get over there fear? My sim had a fear of the dark, so I had her go outside at night while feeling Confident, she overcame her fear (I got a notification and everything). The next day, the fear is back. This adds no value to the game. The fear of not fulfilling dreams is way too sensitive. It takes awhile to complete aspiration milestones and dreams, so I can understand if the sim spends no time working toward their dreams then it would be reasonable to get the Angry moodlet because your sim fears they won't fulfill their dreams in time before death. But when you build skills or complete tasks that are a part of fulfilling your sim's ultimate dream, and your sim still gets the angry moodlet ALL THE TIME, it is very frustrating. When your Sim is angry, it then makes everything else in their lives hard to manage, like their health and they don't build skills or create excellent quality items when their mood is not positive. I have a family of 7, and every single sim in the household (except the toddlers) walk around angry that they haven't fulfilled their dreams, even though I make progress toward those dreams each day aside from their jobs, needs, and other things.
