My Sim Needs A Woman and I Need Help!
I'll admit it, I am not understanding what makes one Sim attracted to another at all anymore. Back in the day it used to be things like traits, favorites, jobs and the sheer amount of time they spent ...

Thanks, @igazor, for the link. It makes so much more sense why single sims just starting out can barely get the time of day from anyone, but happily married sims get harassed at all hours, often by other (allegedly) happily married townies. Or how my elder sim, with about 35 total skill points, the Attractive LTR, having long ago topped out in her career and finished her LTW, and of course being fabulously wealthy from all those money trees, would be getting calls from seemingly every guy in town the day he ages up. I guess it would also explain the teens being hit on way too much, as their families might also be rich, and they tend to have lots of skills already and are often self-employed in whatever hobby they pursue (and might well have completed their LTWs). A couple of questions, though, if you don't mind: What is this?
Does it just mean that the value of the sims' friendly relationship is added to the total score? (with that +20 bonus) So that two sims with a maxed out friendly relationship will get a +120 boost? That seems high, but again would explain quite a lot. Or is it something else?
I'm not sure I know what exactly these mean, either. And how are the LTR gains counted? Some of them require a lot more components to complete than others (i.e. learn every recipe vs. max three skills). Is it a percentage towards completion or something else?
And I know that just because one sim finds another attractive doesn't mean that a romantic advance will be accepted if the recipient is already in a relationship. Is there scoring for that as well? I always thought that it depended on either the total relationship value between my sim and the other, or the amount by which that value exceeds the relationship value of the recipient sim and his or her partner. But that's only because I overcame my sims' rejections by building the relationship more and then trying a romantic interaction again.
Regardless of the finer points, that was fun to read.
