My toddler was scared of ghosts.

arm looks a bit stretchy... emotion might not be intended for toddlers

Maybe he's just a really special baby :)

I've been playing for five minutes since the update and I've aready made contact with it. :D

Well, one of the asylum just autonomously fed on some one whilst at a museum trip. No one batted an eyelid. I'm underwhelmed.

Also, there is no option for fear if you use 'Surge Emotion'. The closest is 'on edge', which is tense. D:

Yeah. First thing I did was go into a Vampire household. Some mortal came knocking on the door so they let her in and fed on her. After she regained consciousness, she hung around with no reaction.

So I took them all to the park. There were three Sims standing around talking. Dropped one of them with a deep drink and the most I got was the other two made a quick shocked reaction and then went back to smiling, happily talking about grilled cheese.

Um...did the devs completely forget Vampires when they made the Scared emotion??

I had a sim use the 'confess fear of vampires' chat option, in case it added a hidden trait to make them scared. Nope.

I just tweeted them on Twitter about it, so hopefully they'll see it and make a response.

How did the Sim's react before? Because if they weren't tense from it before they likely won't be scared now. The blog says the "changed moodlets" but didn't say anything about adding any to new situations.

Maybe if we make a list where we expect to see fear it could help?
Glad you started the thread I was thinking about doing one to see what's happening. I'm checking in game now too. I went on a hike with my sim and no fear from the bugs. Although gotta wonder if some could be or should be trait related also.

Alex Goth get visited by the monster under the bed and, of course, I made him Scream Incoherently on Mortimer ?

Now Mort got this moodlet "Irrational Danger" (+2 Scared) with Ghostface as icon?! Love it.

From what I understood from simGuruConor's tweet, in this update he mostly changed emotions in the game where it would make sense for sims to be scared where they usually were tense. For example sims being scared of thunderstorms where they usually would be tense.

That means that if sims were not tense or reacting to vampires before, they will probably not be scared now either.

They get an Uncomfortable moodlet when bitten, which should be changed to Scared. And reactions should be added.

Another note: Spellcasters who cast in public and set Sims on fire, ZipZap, or other devious things, get only a quick surprised reaction and no fear. This also needs to be looked at.

Yeah, and I mean, it's a great start to do the easier changeovers. I understand that it will most likely be a process to get the new emotion incorporated more intuitively.

But honestly...scared of thunderstorms but not of a wizard setting you afire or a Vampire sticking their fangs into your boyfriend and dropping him to the ground like a hot potato? I just think it needs more work, so I hope they have plans for it.
