The Sims 4 Zodiac Traits

Make it Zodiac Traits and Acquired Traits. The followings specifically refer to Zodiac Traits.

Make it three groups of traits: Sun Traits, Moon Traits, Rising Traits. There are the same 48 traits in all of the groups. Since the season is for 7 days and the moon phase cycle is for 8 days in The Sims 4, make each Sun Trait advance once every 14 hours, each Moon Trait advance once every 4 hours, each Rising Trait advance once every 30 minutes in the time system. When a Sim is born, he or she could have three different, or two same and one different, or three same traits. If a Sim has three same traits, then this type of trait of him or her is strong, and so on. Astrologers can give Sims good blind dates or bad ones.

There are three sets of 48 types of actions for Sims. The first set is for Sims who have three different traits, and they have three types of actions from this set according to what traits they have. The actions in the first set are weak. The second set is for Sims who have two same and one different traits, and they have two types of actions from this and the first set according to what traits they have. The actions in the second set are average. The third set is for Sims who have three same traits, and they have only one type of action from this set according to what traits they have. The actions in the third set are strong.

It's simple for playing with only 12 traits of Sun Signs (12 months of Earth's orbit), while it's complicated for playing with 366 traits of Sun Signs (366 days of Earth's orbit), Moon Signs (366 periods of Moon's orbit), Mercury Signs (366 periods of Mercury's orbit), Venus Signs (366 periods of Venus's orbit), Mars Signs, Jupiter Signs, Saturn Signs, and Rising Signs. Let's play with only 48 traits of only Sun Signs (48 weeks of Earth's orbit), Moon Signs (48 periods of Moon's orbit), and Rising Signs. For The 48 Periods, please refer to Personology (by Gary Goldschneider).

Alchemists can change objects into coins or into trash. A small-sized bronze coin is for 1 simoleon, silver coin for 5 simoleons, gold coin for 10 simoleons; a medium-sized bronze coin is for 50 simoleons, silver coin for 100 simoleons, gold coin for 500 simoleons; a large-sized bronze coin is for 1,000 simoleons, silver coin for 5,000 simoleons, gold coin for 10,000 simoleons. Sims can pick up coins from the ground and deposit them in a bank, a piggy bank, and a strong box. When Sims are going to use simoleons in African, European, Asian cities, they must change them into African, European, Asian dollars. The exchange rate fluctuates every day.

For another edition of The Sims traits, please refer to The Sims Traits.

I love astrology and reading mine and my friends' birth charts, so this is definitely something I'd love to see implemented. I think for simplicity's sake, it might be easier to stick to a general "sun sign" or maybe even sun/moon/rising so that it is easier to understand. But with "hidden" aspects that affect the coding, as you've demonstrated. I think it'd be great to see that come back into the game like in TS2. Some signs do not match! Gemini + Virgo? Recipe for disaster, will not get along. Gemini + Aries or Libra? Perfect relationship. I would love to see this make a comeback along with likes/dislikes, and the traits you've used as examples.

I just think it'd have to be simpler to understand on the surface, what the player sees. Because not everyone is interested in astrology necessarily but might enjoy having additional facets to their Sims.

Amazing work figuring this all out, by the way!

Cool idea! Just one change I'd make would be Libra's negative trait. I live with a Libra, and her biggest negative sign-related trait is actually indecisiveness, ie. taking a painfully long time to make a decision. She's actually the least extravagant person I know...

I really want zodiac signs in the game but I feel it should be in a patch as it’s been base game for all other versions of the game. As for astrology stuff I think that would make a nice little pack either game or stuff. When I was the community vote I wanted the psychic career in the happy haunts choice which also ties in with astrology. Also @SimsLovinLycan i completely agree with your post about libra. I am a libra and can say I am very indecisive about things can never make my mind up if I want to buy something, hate debates and and rubbish at picking sides and end up agreeing with both sides and try to find a common ground.

I agree with that. The system in Sim 2 was quite good though. I wouldn't mind something like that with more traits so even Librans can be different from one another. eg. I know two who are a bit of a miser about spending money, one a Libran and one a Pisces! ;)

I agree they should bring back horoscopes, but I also think they should make it more sims-ish for example someone having the horoscopes of void critter-like characters? Humans, vampires, and aliens could have their own unique horoscopes... or you could use either one.

I never liked astrology, horoscope or any of the fortune telling stuff either in rl or in game.

But im down for alchemy.

I love this!!
I am an astrologer and have devised a system to give my sims Rising Signs, Sun Signs, and Moon Signs, which I use to give any children my sims give birth to, their traits/aspirations, etc. It's based on the time of day in the season they were born, and the moon phase.

I am nervous about The Sims adding zodiacs to the game, as I worry it would be too shallow 😂

If I knew how to make mods, I would make my system a mod. But alas, I don't know how to do things like that.

I've always loved the Zodiac Traits in Sims 3 & would love for it to be brought back in Sims 4. I would love for Sims 4 to not only cover the Greek Zodiac Myth, as well as Egyptian, Asian, Mexican, North American Native & other cultures.♒♎⛎♊♌♉♑♐♍♓♋♏

Since I'm thoroughly lost on what you've posting, I'm going to say this is something I would most definitely NOT be interested in.

I would love the Zodiacs from Sims 3 to be put into Sims 4.
