Sims Get No Fears

A gameplay mod for The Sims 4 that disables the fears system while retaining wants (formerly whims), so your Sims no longer experience fear moodlets that interfere with play—but their goals and aspirations continue as normal.

Key features
  • Option to disable all fears with one file.
  • Alternatively, disable specific fears via individual fear files.
  • Includes a patch that fixes the bug where Sims receive a fear of darkness moodlet even without having the trait.

Requirements and compatibility
Requires The Sims 4: High School Years expansion pack. Only one version of the mod should be used at a time. Compatible with the game versions current to its release.

Mod release date
Originally released on August 25, 2022

Gameplay role/impact
Completely removes the interruption of fear triggers and moodlets, letting players focus purely on wants and gameplay flow without emotional distractions. Ideal for more streamlined, less frustrating Sims experiences.

Is it Maxis-Match?
Not applicable—it’s a gameplay mod, not custom content.

Community feedback
Highly praised by players fed up with erratic and intrusive fears. Many describe it as a “blessing” and the “best one” because it allows removal of all fears or just the specific ones you dislike. Widely seen as a fix for one of the most irritating aspects of recent Sims updates.

About the creator
Created by TearsofTyr, a well-known modder focused on practical gameplay tweaks. They are recognized for quality-of-life mods that simplify or rebalance The Sims 4. The mod was last updated in late 2022 and is not known to have been adopted by another creator.

Editor’s Note
Perfect for players who find the wants-and-fears system intrusive or nonsensical but still enjoy wants-based gameplay. It lets you preserve Sims’ life goals without constant fear moodlets disrupting the experience. Works well alongside mood or emotion tuning mods for players who want further control over their Sims’ emotional lives.
