[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.

  • I'm having similar issues as mentioned here since I bought the extension Life and Death. Never had this before. I own all the extensions except the small packs.

  • I’ve had this happen two times where when I have to discuss my fear with somebody else (this has happened with the fear of death and fear of being burgaled) the text prompt has appeared as “discuss fear of horses”. It still works like the regular text prompt and gets rid of the fear, but I just wanted to report it. I don’t even have the horse ranch pack so I know it’s not because I have 2 fears or something.

    I'm having the same issue with my vampire sim. Cannot discuss fear of death with elders. The fear IS in the wants panel. This sim has 2 other fears though, so maybe they're conflicting??

  • I'm also having this issue - normal sim who witnessed his mother's death as a teen, now a young adult - except the Discuss Fears option DOES show up...for every sim EXCEPT ghosts and elders. I can discuss my fears with randos, my sim's young adult husband, his adult mother in law, and even Grim (still no option to give Grim a death flower though), but I've befriended ghosts and elders and the option does not appear anywhere for them. I'm not sure if it's relevant but this is also the only fear he's ever had, so no conflicts there. I'll probably just buy the potion at this point...

  • Hello.

    No mods or CC, never used and NEVER WILL USE CC OR MODS  so no need to tell me "you can use this mod".
    Happen on every save, old and new.
    Play on PC.
    I have the last update, I own all the pack and kits except a few clothings kits, I repaired my game multiple times.

    Now that it's said,  once again the fears are broken. In EVERY save, old and new saves, when my sim have fears, especialy fear of death, they can't talk about it to elderly or ghosts to get rid of it. It's not the first time this happened, they fixed it for a few months and now once again we can't talk about fears. So my sim is stuck with those **bleep** fears.
    I don't want to cheat on every single save to get the potions to erase the fears because EA isn't able to fix his own game, and since they joint the fears AND the wants I can't deactivate them in the menu because I want to use the wants for my sims. 

    So please FIX THE FEARS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
