Do you use zodiacs for your sims?

I usually forget zodiacs are an option. They don't do much, unlike TS2 & TS1 where their entire peronality is based off of a zodiac type. I never really found them to be accurate either, as I'm a leo but would be considered an Aries in TS2/1.


Unless I'm making a future couple (which is pretty rare by itself, I usually just let my sims date who they want) so they can have more romantic compatibility down the line, especially if one of them is a hopeless romantic.. Otherwise, I never touch them.

However, I do use favorites on pretty much all my sims. Chances are if they're wearing a blue shirt or a red dress, that's their favorite colour. I choose their favourite music genre by what kind of traits they have as well. Favorite food and zodiacs can just be completely randomized though.
  • I use them and have several favourites. However I don't think assigning a star sign influences sim behaviour in game in quite the same way as it did in TS2.

    Ooh I love curse / retribution / anything that's unpleasant challenges! That sounds like fun <3
  • I always use my horoscope sign and my fave music/color unless its an evil sim then I give them fave color black and a harsher type music
  • When I used to play The Sims 3 there wasn't an option for them. No breast sliders either.

    I don’t know the actual Zodiac stereotypes and such, and so, while I do pick them, it’s in a more...childish way.

    E.g, “oh, she’s nasty, scorpions are nasty, Scorpio it is”
    Or “he likes the beach, Aquarius it is”
    Or “oh they’re twins, Gemini means twins...”
    Or “I looked up lions earlier today, Leo it is...”

    That said, I try not to leave anything unfilled save the biography, which is often forgotten. I will pick favourites- if for no other reason than to explore autumn salad being an elating meal- but never fill that thing out. Guess I usually just want to move on at that point?


    Taurus-es are more likely to hold a grudge. I for a fact am one. Since I was born on a weird date I have several Zodiac signs thanks to several different restaurants, newpapers and websites.

    I used to pick a random one depending on whatever picture I liked best for the sim I was making lol. Now though I have a little web page saved on my phone that categorizes the different signs into four main types and gives a general overview description for each of the four. I don't zero in on each individual sign specifically, but I do go according to that info page. Once I know which bracket I want to put my sim in, I just pick a random sign from there, probably just whichever picture I like best, like I said before lol.
