ETA: They're baaack. 😄
Here's the bug report for anyone wanting to check me too.

That switching back on is a huge issue for rotational play. I want to play my main save, and do another episode but I'm worried about the consequences for the households I'm not with. I did my me too.
I like the fears, but it would be nice to have some variety.
Also, Its fine with one or two sims but with a full house it gets too much.
You're a kid. You're working a part time entry level job, you don't even know what a dead end job is yet, kid. lol
I do like that they add more gameplay (which The Sims 4 desperately needs) but that's about it... a long requested feature added to an 8 year old game which wasn't built for it.
Hey, even your workaholics can get it. It's one of those fears that has to be outright ripped out of the game through mods to make the wants/fears system already 100% better and get a chance to be turned back on, or at least heavy tweaking so only Sims stuck at low (>3) levels long enough, or commitment haters can get it!
Although hearing people mention on other sites how a fear of fire causes more fires, almost every other day, and how Sims with unfufilled dreams randomly disable your interactions for a few hours certainly isn't helping make the system sound any more fun.
I just want my Sims to have a mental breakdown and start spinning a Professor ball around on the sidewalks again with a free therapist visit.
My take is I simply want whims back. The wants/fears have lost all context. Not only could you cancel whims out to make them appropriate to the sim being played, but they would change depending on the mood of the sim and the location the sim was at.
The wants/fears is a fail, IMO. They should have put the effort into enhancing the whims.

I actually have an issue of moodlets re-occurring even after I had resolved the fear through game play, so this might be part of a bigger glitch.
-Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.
I don’t agree with opinion that whims were better, because they changed with emotions. Every sim had the same emotions and it made all sims the same. Now my mean sim wants to insult someone and good sim wants to give to charity. Which finally makes sense. Whims were waste of space.
The whims changing with emotion is what I liked about them. A sim gets inspired and they want to cook, paint, play music. Similar with other emotional states. If there was a chat with [insert random sim], I could cancel it. Now my sim is stuck all day wanting to talk to someone the sim barely knows all day. The listen to music or dance to music whim lets the player choose the genre. With the new system, all your sim does all day is flick between stations and never actually listens to the music any more.
The problem isn't with the whim game mechanic. The problem is that they chose to completely neglect it for years and then hid them and then they finally chose to throw the baby out with the bath water.
It would have made much more sense to make the whim system better and incorporate some if the ideas of the new wants/fears.
And finally whims never made me mess about in the menus of the rewards store to buy a 300 point potion to change them.

I get it, but... I usually ignore wants because I never played with whims. Now my Sims keep getting the fear of unfulfilled dreams. I hate it.

Wait until you get hit with the totally irrational Fear of the Dark. My Full Professor is running around like a fool. He's practically afraid of his own shadow. It's sad in a way. And most distracting when trying to get the storyline to move forward.
