We will go over each Fear and how to face them below.


If you see a spiky-edged Want, this is an opportunity for your Sim to challenge an active Fear of theirs to get rid of any debuffs incurred by said Fears, such as the Uncomfortable moodlet that becomes active for Sims in busy places if they have a fear of crowds. Vampires shouldn't be afraid of the dark, for example, and won't want to visit the beach, whilst Paranoid Sims will be warier of crowded spaces. Wants and Fears can also be dictated by any active Traits or occult-type specifics pertaining to your Sim.
