So like this: Certain Wants and Fears despite option turned off | EA Forums - 5055659 ?
It happens for several specific wants only but that's what you're seeing, right ?
What fears to do get though ? Ive adjusted the title a bit more to make it distinct from the other. Maxis will need to decide if they want to track this separately
Yes, that's what I'm seeing.
And I'm not seeing fears. I only referred to it as "Wants & Fears" because that's what the system or mechanic is called in the game. It's just Wants that are the issue. It's been doing that with other Wants as well (romantic Wants, largely) but I've dealt with that until now by turning Wants & Fears on and off again. It's not ideal, but that's how I've been getting rid of them.
This is different, though, because that Formative Moment Want is relentless. It keeps coming back. The only way to be permanently rid of it is to fulfill the want by doing as it instructs and choosing a trait. But I'd rather decide for myself when or even if I want a given Sim to choose one of those traits. I already know that the option is there and that I can exercise the option whenever I choose. I don't need the game busting through my settings just to keep pestering me about it.
