Okay I actually like the Fear system

When it first came out, I was pretty annoyed with it especially when the fears of dead end job and unfulfilled dreams kept showing up. 

But today, I decided to change my playstyle and changing my playstyle included turning the fears system on and let it go awry. Well the fear of being cheated on came up and  Genesis of my Opposites Attract couple was now in a perpetually p'oed mood toward her boyfriend Derek who had done nothing to warrant her anger (she's also hot headed so she's pretty much always angry anyways)

Overcoming the fears is actually pretty awesome. 

I also stopped micromanaging my Sims and only get involved if I need to, which by the way is making this game a lot more fun when you aren't in a tug of war with your Sims over their queue line.

    I find my sims were always in a sour mood due to their fears, especially the dead end job one. Maybe i try to control my sims too much, um, yes I do. I have to learn to let go, and have them experience life like they are meant to. You have inspired me to let go and live life on the edge and let my sims realize their fears.

     I might even let them witness death.

  • I have found myself quite liking the Fear System. I am usually very hesitant to let my Sims do whatever their heart desires, but I've got to admit there is something enjoyable about leaving them to wander in their own wishes and see how the path progresses ahead. Especially, when it is something that contradicts one of their Traits.

    You actually inspired me to see how the Ghost Fear will play along with the new EP.  :)
