Re: Sim is scared with fears even though wants & fears is disabled.
@JayyBxndss I can't really see in your screenshot as the lower corner is really dark, but do you get the fear bubble or just the moodlet ?
Which fear is it ?

That looks like the earthquake moodlet.
Edit expanding my answer now that I have access to my computer instead of my phone:
I think there's an (understandable) confusion of systems here. Moodlets come in a variety of different "flavors" including:
- happy (green)
- angry (red)
- playful (pink)
- fine (grey)
- uncomfortable (orange)
- embarrassed (yellow)
- scared (purple)
Sims 4 runs on these moodlets - everything is connected to them.
Wants & fears is a system which creates the little thought bubbles with things that Sims want to do (for aspiration points) and special "fear" characteristics that will trigger moodlets. These moodlets are not always the scared moodlet - they can also be angry or uncomfortable - but they often are. The fear remover potion removes these fear characteristics/tags from the Sim, not the moodlets.
The scared moodlet in the photo is not from the Wants & Fears system, and so cannot be removed with the fear remover potion. Instead, it's from having the earthquake lot challenge on. If you remove the lot challenge, your Sims will stop getting scared.
- @PipMenace I'm amazed you can see that. For me it's just a white blob or something :D
Aren't there some fears that can trigger the scared mood ?
Anyways would be important to know if it's just about the moodlet or if actual fears are also showing.
Moving this to game issues for now as it's seems more of a misunderstanding then a bug :D - @crinrict I only recognized it because I recently spent hours testing that particular lot challenge! I was confirming the toddler stretching bug was consistent - and then that it was still happening after the last patch but not affecting infants.
And yes, the fears do frequently trigger scared moodlets. But not all scared moodlets are from fears.
