Gather your courage and extinguish a fire yourself. Witnessing a fire break out in front of you. This should give you a whole new set of Wants to work with hopefully, you'll have more luck with them.Ĭreating a subpar item, such as a food dish or carving, or achieving poor work performance if in a job that doesn't require creating objects.Ĭreate an item of excellent quality and select the 'Show Off Work' interaction to become recognised for your work, or select the Ask For Performance Review option. To do this, enter the Settings menu, go to the Gameplay tab, and toggle the 'Show Wants & Fears' button off and on again. If you've tried to meet the wacky whims of your Sims and just can't seem to measure up with these unattainable goals, there is a way to encourage the game to refresh your Wants with different ones.

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.
