It's especially the dead-end job that seems to be the major malfunction overall seeing how much everyone talks about it.
Hey, even your workaholics can get it. It's one of those fears that has to be outright ripped out of the game through mods to make the wants/fears system already 100% better and get a chance to be turned back on, or at least heavy tweaking so only Sims stuck at low (>3) levels long enough, or commitment haters can get it!
Although hearing people mention on other sites how a fear of fire causes more fires, almost every other day, and how Sims with unfufilled dreams randomly disable your interactions for a few hours certainly isn't helping make the system sound any more fun.
I just want my Sims to have a mental breakdown and start spinning a Professor ball around on the sidewalks again with a free therapist visit.
