The new system of wants and fears in The Sims 4 can leave your Sim traumatized

Sims’ concerns and desires are one of the newest features in the fourth installment of the series. What can we expect from it?


The latest update to The Sims 4, which took place at the end of July this year, introduced some really interesting news to the game. For almost a month now, our Sims have been able to shave their overgrown body, officially choose their sexual orientation, live in a house with curved walls, and change the look of their phone.

In addition, a very interesting system has been added to the game, which was loved mainly in the 2nd part of The Sims. It is all about wants and fears. Until recently, in the Four, Sims could only have small whims, which, after a long time of playing, were becoming boring. Many players admit that they never even remembered this option as they always had it turned off.

This is one of the reasons why the developers decided to improve this element of the game and return to the idea from years ago. The community is excited to see wants and fears finally making their way into the latest installment of The Sims. It turns out, however, that they can surprise you more.

Sims and trauma for life?

According to players, wants and fears are one of the better things that have recently been introduced to the game. There is nothing surprising about it because this system was already very popular in the second installment of the series. And since it recently premiered in the Fourth, the community likes to boast about their experiences online.

One player recently posted a Reddit post showing that his Sim had been traumatized into gardening by… cowplant

Wants and fears are fun until your sim has a cowplant incident and can no longer tend his own garden

The Sim the post author is talking about must have gotten into the fear of eating a cowplant, which unfortunately had to happen. As you can see, he survived the incident, but by fulfilling his fear, he became even more afraid of the plants. This is how Sim gets traumatized and is unable to approach them again.

Many people in this post admitted that sometimes the wants and fears are really annoying and can ruin the plan for the game.

After all, most commentators admitted that the situation is one of the funniest when it comes to the new system of wants and fears.
