No More Wants, Whims and Fears [UI Icons]
More mods available at my (free) Patreon!
This is a mod to "fix" the desired functionality of "Hide Wants and Fears" so that the bubbles in the bottom left of the UI are hidden/turned off. This is a known EA bug that the bubbles will reappear when you are travelling or even going to/from the Manage Worlds menu.
It is a little hacky so always remember to backup your saves and game data. I have added it to mine and been testing- and also tested removing it and all seems fine.
When testing this I do assume you have "Show Wants & Fears" disabled in the game settings but it isnt required as this mod should be a permanent "off" (until you remove it).
Therefore if you enable "Show Wants & Fears" in your game settings it wont actually show until you remove this mod.
There are 2 variations to this mod - one turns off Fears completely (replicating the No Fears side of things), and the other just gets rid of the UI bubble prompts with Fears working as default in terms of their trigger chances and moodlets/traits.
I have not labelled this as a game fix because I havent hooked into the original system UI to toggle on/off the bubbles, although I do have a better understanding about what the original bug is in terms of why EA havent fixed it.
Desired installation steps will be to add this mod to your game, go to the Game Settings UI and set Show Wants and Fears to disabled then Save.
This can be used safely against other mods like MCCC or WW as far as I have tested so far.
For the UI changes:
I wanted to approach this in a different way but due to a bug in TS4 I had to amend it so that globally whims are not given any slots to be used.
For disabling fears:
I have amended the conflicting traits so that Sims are not eligible to trigger Fear events.

Custom installation instructions! READ ME!
In addition to the normal installation instructions, this download also has a custom instruction, as follows:
1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.
2. Extract: Use 7zip (recommended), WinRAR (Windows) or Stuffit (OS X) to extract the file(s) from the .rar or .zip file(s). OS X also has a built-in utility for that (just rightclick).
3. Install that extension in your /Mods folder
Load up your game
Resume your last played game or load a game/create a new one, etc
Go to the Options menu, click Game Options, click Gameplay, uncheck Show Wants and Fears and click Apply Changes.
There are 2x reasons I recommend doing this - one just as a mental reminder that you have something installed that means that Show Wants and Fears should not be showing, and secondary - in case EA actually has any logic in the background that also may be checking or applying to the Wants and Fears system.
