One missed opportunity is that they not implemented a Scared Emotion. The emotions are meant to be a main innovation of Sims 4.
If we get a Supernatural Expansion, we could get a Scared emotion.
The "Scared" emotion could have 3 different variants...
- Scared
- Very Scared
- Terrified
Sims could even die from fear (like in Sims 2) if they get into the "Terrified" mood
Two new traits could be added:
Coward and
Brave.
Cowards are easily scared, but have the advantage of
not dying from anything besides old age because the Grim Reaper feels sorry for them and thinks living is a greater punishment for them than death.
Brave Sims are never scared and have the advantage of
autonomously putting out fires and
fighting the Grim Reaper when another Sim died to save the Sim.
Comments
Additionally, maybe instead of its own new category, "scared" and "terrified" could be additional stages of tense? I would possibly be easier to program for the devs as well.
However, I think fear needs to go like this:
Anxious/Worried/Nervous (Whatever we call it, Stage 1 Fear)
Scared (Stage 2 Fear)
Terrified (Stage 3 Fear, Potential for Fatality)
I also really like the introduction of Cowardly and Brave traits. I'd change your Cowardly a little bit though, as I feel like the Grim Reaper's pity should be reserved for an Unlucky trait again like in TS3.
Cowardly - This Sim is easily startled by loud noises and darkness and becomes (Stage 1 Fear) easily. They will not die from being terrified, and will immediately flee when they see a fight.
I also think that your Brave Sims fighting the Grim Reaper for someone who saved them is oddly specific, as I'm not sure how that situation would ever come up in the game.
I'm not entirely certain how Tense could lead to terrified because Tense seems like dealing with everyday pressures of life while Fear is like dealing with unknown things that haven't happened to somebody before. As somebody with two anxiety disorders, those emotions just seem kinda different to me.
Would have to tweak it though so sims don't get randomly "scared" from not being in a club or from watching the kids channel.
Fear is wanted and needed in the game. I hope we're gonna have it in game sometime soon.

Now I don't think we should use Fear to chuck out Bored. I think the Bored moodlets for young Sims could be a lot stronger since kids and teens get bored easily in real life. There's room for both emotions.
the brave trait would work really well with Military/Firefighter careers
Probably because they forgot it, but it was in Sims 2 (Sims could be scared to death) and kind of Sims 3 Supernatural
