This is an expansion of Ghosts, so it kind of makes me think that we will get an expansion of Plantsims - that the reason we are waiting is because the Devs are doing other things first. The reason we've had to wait for the Fear emotion is because they brought it out as a free update with the Ghost Pack and it's mostly a reskin of the Tense emotion.
Perhaps the interactions attributed to Ghosts and other spooky things will get more 'tense' added to them and it will be called 'scared'.
It also makes me hope we'll get a free update to Plantsims around the time of the Farming Expansion.
Fear is totally not a re-skin of tense.
Get ScaredSims can now relish in the mortal dread of the Scared Mood!
The Scared Mood affects Sims in a variety of ways, with my personal favorite, the new Scream Incoherently interaction, where a Scared Sim runs up to another Sim to scream their lungs out. This can result in the other Sim calming down the Scared Sim, or resulting in both Sims becoming Scared. This can create a Scared Mood wildfire if you’re not careful!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay!
Sims afflicted with the Scared Mood also have trouble communicating with others, the urge to panic-run everywhere, and are slightly more prone to accidents. If no other Sims are around to help calm down a Scared Sim, they might just have to Hide Under The Covers for a while.
But if being Scared just isn’t your Sims style, consider purchasing the new Brave Trait. This Satisfaction Reward Store Trait will rapidly reduce the incoming fear a Sim feels and help Sims regain their composure faster. While no Sim is totally fearless, this trait should help mitigate some of those creepy feelings.
The Scared Mood and the Brave Reward Trait are all base game features coming with the Paranormal Stuff patch on January 21st. Tons of previous Uncomfortable Buffs are now becoming Scared Buffs, such as the “Startled By Ghost” Buff or the “Thalassophobia'' Buff from Island Living.
I am however mildly disappointed we can’t have our sims die of fright.
