I would like an attractiveness system which incorporates what physical attributes and non physical attributes (e.g. traits, skills, perhaps even aspirations, careers etc) your sim is attracted to in a partner.
It would be neat if this was randomised for born in game sims (along with sexual/romantic orientation) so that you can just go where the game takes you and be guided by your sim (of course with the option to edit your sim's preferences/orientation for those who have set preferences in mind for their sim). Although maybe I wouldn't want it to be totally random - perhaps it should be somewhat based on what traits your sim has- good sims are more likely to find goodness attractive in other sims? Though, having said that, I quite like the idea of a good sim who is secretly attracted to evil sims.
Or perhaps there could just be a 'randomise' button that you could press in order to have the game select random attributes etc for your sim to be attracted to.
More or less the same for me.
I'd want physical traits to be relatively minor in the long run. When your sim is out and about, they won't autonomously flirt with a sim who doesn't at least have one physical characteristic they like, and NPC's won't react to your sim's flirty introduction unless you have at least one trait they like. Once your sim gets to know another sim, it should be based on other traits/skills/etc.
Also, to minimize body shaming, body type shouldn't be on the list. And maybe not weight (fitness I'm iffy on.) Just Hair color, eye color... and maybe facial and body hair as a Yes/No.
