Want and Fear the same Ok my sim wants to have a baby, but she fears to have a baby as well. (scratches head)
oh those random wants and fears.... do you suppose that this is one of those bugs, Josh wants us to track?
Nope. My sims get that one all the time, especially if they've already got kids. I'd say it's pretty normal. Having a kid is a scary/happy proposition.
But here are two wants I've gotten that I know are buggy. Josh, is this the kind of thing we should track? 1. Porter Kane wants to be friends with himself. He had that want for quite a long time. 2. Heather Huffington wants her daughter to get a scholarship. Hello? Her daughter graduated from college and has a baby of her own now.
My Family Sims, when they're approaching old age, have those want/fear baby coincidences. Mr. Smith in my neighborhood is starting to get that. His wife's a Romance Sim, so she always fears having a baby. It doesn't matter at this point because she reached permaplat the other day.
This is actually pretty normal even in real life. Conflicting wants and fears are not uncommon. Sometimes once they get closer to actually having the baby, the fear drops out.
And sometimes it doesn't. But the want still gives you more points than the fear costs you. You just have a smaller net total.
I've also had the "My sim wants to be friends with himself" want. Hmm. Not sure how you get that one... =P
My sim had a fear to hate himself. One of my elder has two wants the same (have a baby) and his other two are have grandchild and have anniversary party. His wife is an adult. Weird double wanting guy. Gar.
This is not on the same level as a sim being afraid to hate himself, for sure, but when I had skeletons fighting Errol in the I,Sim story Errol had a repeated desire to see his enemy, the skeleton Kodran, as a ghost. It always made me laugh. Wish I'd taken a screen shot of it. (Of course, what made me laugh the loudest was the modesty blur around the skeleton when he took a shower.)
