As my title says, I find the new fears system horrific. I only get one. Its the fear a dead end job one and even when it is possible to combat the fear, it immediately comes back, even if the job your sim has is/or should be their dream job. I've got a constant stressed moodlet (or three in some cases) from a fear that reoccurs so often that the whole household is stressed, tense and sad. I wish, at the very least, wants and fears were separate so that I could keep whims/wants and get rid of a poorly thought out fears system by disabling it.
Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.

This very much. I haven't updated yet but after everything I read I can say I am interested in the wants system but dislike the fear system. I keep my sims often in the same job because of story telling, so I imagine they will all constantly get the dead end job fear.
I have read that there is a potion in the reward store to get rid of fears. Maybe it is possible to sell these options in a retail store? I will have to test this once I update. But buying this potion and paying for it with reward points, kind of defeats the purpose of full filling want to earn points.

Yeah, it does need tweaking.
They don't actually conquer their fears, merely allay them.
If it's conquered then it shouldn't come back.
For some of my sims, it takes a couple of different goes to get rid of a fear, which seems alright. Conquering a fear isn't a one-off thing for me.
It's the scared of the dark one that I don't like. My sims is over it, it doesn't show up on his info panel and when I got the reward potion to get rid of it I couldn't use it, but he's still getting the moodlet off and on throughout the day! I haven't kept track of if it happens when it's cloudy, so I wonder if that might be part of it. If I recall correctly, cloudy days are treated like darkness for vampires (please correct me if I'm wrong!), so maybe that has something to do with it...I don't know.
What fears have people come across?
So far, I've gotten...
-fear of the dark
-fear of a dead end job
-fear of unfulfilled dreams
-fear of a cheating partner (which was funny because it was true!)
