Wants and Fears also return for me after toggling them off in Options--whenever I open the game again or come out of CAS. Not sure about leaving the lot; I haven't tried that yet because I'm not really playing the game. But I've tried with and without mods or CC, and I've repaired my game twice following the directions given. It doesn't matter. W&F will not stay off.
I'm beyond annoyed, and I will not buy the High School Years pack until something is done about the glitches already in this game. Why spend money for more bugs to corrupt my game?
