[LD] Sim can't discuss Fear of Death/Discuss fear of horse instead

My reborn Sim has the fear of death trait, but the discuss fear option is not showing up on either elders or ghosts. At this point she's befriended several ghosts and elders, but it just never comes up as an option. (Yes, I saw the suggestion that she try with an enemy, but that's not how it has worked previously, is not what the "want" says and I don't consider that a solution.)

I've occasionally had this problem with elder sims not being able to discuss their fear of death with other elders/ghosts, but this is a reborn young adult.

I have never had the option the give Grim a Death Flower to cure this fear. And she was never able to meet Grim, despite her purchase of a death flower at a retail shop.

This is my regular game. Tested copy with Mods removed. 

If this is already reported, apologies. Fears along with Bucket List and Aspiration goals seem to have become unpredictable. If one meets the conditions as stated, they should complete. No messing about trying to figure out if there's a secret trick.

Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.

  • Getting this too, I go the fear of Death went to talk to a ghost, and... nuthin. If i remember right it should be under Deep Thoughts?  but i have checked under all the categories and can't find it

    Edit - Bernard showed up to busk, and (after moving him to the busking station due to another bug) the option then showed up. and after it showed up on him, suddenly it appeared on Johnny as well. 

    The only difference i can think of between them, is that Johnny is a friend, while she had only just met Bernard?

    My sim has completed their bucket list (through temporary ghost mode) but haven't died or been reborn. She also cannot talk to anyone about her Fear of Death. I have approached probably a dozen elders and ghosts and none of them have the option. Nor the Fear of Horses option that someone mentioned, even though I have the pack. The save is 100% mod free since I started it with the intention of contributing to the save corruption bug hunt.

    I can’t discuss Fear of Death with any elder or ghost and I’m stuck with this fear. I'm on Mac. No mods.
