Fear not showing up in Traits

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Not sure?
What is your current game version number? The latest one {just double checked it didn't need to update}
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Growing Together, Cottage Living, Werewolves, City Living, Seasons, Dream Home Decorator, Paranormal Stuff, Tiny Living, Spa Day, Desert Lux Kit, High School Years, Wedding Stories, Carnival Street Wear, Country Kitchen Kit, Paranormal Stuff, Snowy Escape, Nifty Knitting Stuff, Eco Life Style, Descover University. Realm of Magic, Moshino Stuff, Island Living, Strangerville, Get Famous, Jungle Adventrue, Laundry Day, Cats and Dogs, Toddler Stuff, Parenthood, Vampires, Vintage Glamor Stuff, Backyard Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Dine Out, Romantic Garden, Movie Hange Out, Get Together, Spooky Stuff, Cool Kitchien Stuff, Spa Day, Perfict Patio Stuff, Luxury Party, Get to Work, Outdoor Retreat, Holiday Celebration, 
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just play in live mode for a while I guess?
What happens when the bug occurs? It pops up that my sim has descovered a fear of the dark, but it does not show up in their traits...they are always afraid to go outside now because of it. Even if they go jogging and 11 in the afternoon on a sunny day it pops up...can't get rid of it with the fear begon reward because it's not in their traits!
What do you expect to see? I expect to see my sims fears show up in their traits if they are gonna have them not just be something that I can't get rid of, even turning wants and fears off and on does not help
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I've never had it happen before now, even though I have have had some fears that would stick around before. They always showed up in their traits so I'm pretty sure this is from the last update

    Not for this sim no, I purchesed the item to get rid of the fear it was as I went to have her use it that I realized she didn't have the fear in her traits. And I haven't used the cheat on her to get rid of it either. I have had to turn fears and wants off a few times to get rid of a fear that wasn't being satisfied though it was the fear of being controled...not that thats showing up in her trait either now that I think about it oo

    I'll give it a shot, I can say that she randomly gained it as a trait and I used the potion to remove it...but the fear still pops up at all hours of the day. I'll try cheat adding and removing to see if it helps though

    @toramonger Well if you did have it and removed it at some point it's a known issue that the moodlets don't go away.

    That was what I meant with my question above if she had already gotten the fear before and you removed it :D

    okay used the cheat to give her the fear of the dark, then used the reward item to remove it...did not work she still has random bouts of fear of the dark even though its no longer one of her traits...

    ohh no that was the first time it had ever been one of her traits, and that was after I had posted the problem. If she had had it before and I removed it that would have been a different thing  I think..but now I can saftly say that that is the problem now...just wasn't originaly
