The chemistry/attraction system was first introduced in The Sims 2: Nightlife and there were options to set certain turn-ons and turn-offs which I find myself missing in Lovestruck:
I found occult states especially cool and think they would be a great addition for storytelling in TS4.
Also, with the expanded character creator in TS4, I would love tattoos to be an option as well.
I am completely disappointed as to the lack of physical turnons in the new Lovestruck EP.
All that is available is either platonic interests, careers, skill levels and frivolous rubbish like clothes style or color, which cater only to people with very specific interests irl and it's creepy.
My simself has different interactions according to whether she's in swimwear or workout clothes, and the system is as deep as a puddle and feels reused from the growing together friendship changes.
My simself is proudly curvy like me, and having no cupid'a corner match remotely interested in what they look like males me feel robbed of the body positivity I fought for, as I have a meaningful relationship with someone who was attracted to my actual body, exactly for how it is, and then we discovered we are basically soulmates.
You can choose sims with a high fitness skill if you want muscular sims to match, but there's no way to have sims who aren't into impossible modern standards, and there's no turnon/off categories for beard, body hair, or eye colour. While I understand rejection is something everyone has to deal with in a constructive manner, having my simself simply left in the shadows again is not a good look when all they are interested in is a certain career or hobby
I think adding new turn categories for physical features is long overdue, and a step toward inclusivity, diversity and positivity.
Deleting this post only means like minded people will share the same sentiment on socials, by the way.
