Certain Wants and Fears despite option turned off

I turn off Wants and fears because I’m a casual here for designing homes. However after the July 1st update I’m getting Wants and Fears moodlets with it toggled off. Tense and Anger because of missing out moodlets, but I made sure it was toggled off. Just thought it should be put on the radar. Not a total big deal, but note worthy nonetheless.

I'm not entirely certain if this is Base Game related or Life & Death related, but I added Clement Frost to my household (by having him get married to a preexisting member) and he immediately showed Wants & Fears bubbles above his character icon even though I had that setting disabled (unchecked).

I rechecked it in settings, applied changes, then unchecked it again, and applied changes again (without exiting the Game Options menu) to get rid of them, but when he aged up to an Elder it happened again. Specifically just a want to "Designate an Heirloom" which makes me think it may be Life & Death specific instead of Base Game. I haven't seen this behavior before when adding NPCs to households so I really lean toward it being a Life & Death issue.

I did have an infant in the household be aged-up by having an adult help them blow out candles on a cake and the now-toddler did not have Wants or Fears bubbles appear so I think this (the Wants & Fears setting not being honored) is exclusive to NPCs.

Screenshots are attached showing Clement Frost having the Want to "Designate an Heirloom" with a reason of "Aging Up" as well as the Gameplay tab showing the "Show Wants & Fears" option is unchecked while that bubble is displayed.

Raesthetic has a mod called No More Wants, Whims and Fears which fixes this issue.

I have been having this issue for a very long time ( maybe years) where my sim gets a fear, I "cure" it and it pops up again the next day, or at the wrong time ( like a fear of the dark when the sim time is noon). I have tried turning the wants and fears off but it wont work.

Hadnt played the game in a couple of months so I updated the game and been on it for a few days.  This issue is still happening.  If i remember rightly... before and now its a want that pops up and usual its a personal one like hold hands, kiss etc.  So same here..

I've also had this issue, ever since Whims changed to Wants and Fears. It's usually a Want that regards a romantic interest e.g. Go on a Date with (Sim name here).

Mine generated following wants despite option turned off:

• Hold Hands With (Sim)
• Ask (Sim) on a Date
• Give a Massage to (Sim)

What did you get (maybe there's a pattern)?
