Maybe something about the goths? I just laughed at them on the following link where a player found out they can have panicked poops when they are scared :)

At this point though as I said somewhere before players appear to be getting totally different results doing the same things?

It seems that the things a ghost does will scare them, ie, possessing things. The ghost themself does not. I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, players are going to want to interact with other sims whilst playing ghosts etc so from that view it makes sense. On the other.. ITS A GHOST. Maybe an initial scared reaction which the ghost can react to in a calming or scary way would make more sense.

It's always been implied that sims can't see ghosts that are just wandering around, but you can Interact with them if you want. Their rules are never consistent.

In sims 2 sims would only get scared from ghosts if they haunted an object or scared them.

In sims 3 cowards would faint at the mere sight of a ghost. They change it up a lot.

I personally would not be scared from seeing a ghost, but probably from the ghost hissing at me for no good reason. So, I kinda accept that sims will not react scared until they interact, somehow.

How on earth did I miss this mod unless i was focusing on the magic mods for a while. I have just read on the Mod update thread that Zer0s mods are fine (I think one required updating) for this patch so it looks like a glass of something appealing while I read through what this mod is all about and add it to my game :)

@Simmerville

I always say i am not scared of seeing a ghost until one is stood right in front of me :) :D

@CelSims

I am not on discord which is probably why i don't know much about anything lol I am just reading through the Immersive Vampires mod and wanted to ask if the XML injector also requires patching to the latest patch when used with mods?

Also i know it's getting late for me now but the link you sent me appears to make my vampires more scared of something if I am reading that correctly? Fear of magic sims? if so I doubt if I would use that because my vamps are kings, lords and masters of all :D

The fear emotion sounds some what disappointing. I haven’t experienced it yet in my game but reading this makes me already disappointed in it. They don’t get scared of vampires or actual ghosts? I’m actually so sad about this.

if you want to start a fear frenzy, i recommend sending your sims to von haunt manor at night. i had them look at the paintings a few times, and within minutes mimsy went and possessed something and freaked them all out. i've also found that anytime the scared moodlet is overridden, you can have them go look at the painting repeatedly, which causes mimsy to possess something again (making the fear/screaming increase).

in the end i got my sims up to a scared +3 moodlet that didn't fade until mimsy left in the morning.

Storm Chaser Sims are now scared of thunderstorms, so they didn't think that one through.

I dont think there is any Vampire-related moodlet that was previously make the human sims tense or feeling of being hunted for being around them, I hope they added one in the future.

I always thought it was weird that sims don’t react to ghosts or vampires. I was hoping the scared emotion would fix this but I guess not. I’m a little disappointed but I will just have to deal with it. It makes sense for them to be scared of these occult’s. Hopefully they will revisit the scared emotion at some point and not just abandon it after this pack.
