The Sims 4 Zodiac Traits

This seems way too complicated for the Sims lol. But I think the general idea is great. We definitely need more astrology/zodiac signs, and corresponding traits that apply to each sign irl would be very cool. 

Thank you🙂 If they add astrology, I hope it's ancient Greek astrology, because it's simpler than the others. It only has Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Rising Sign, not Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

That would be so cool. I love how thought out this is, I really hope they do find a way to incorporate astrology, even if its a watered down version I will take it over nothing. I mean, I know they at least mentioned sims signs in the sims 3. Maybe it was sims 2, but I know its been done before. They could definitely do it again with a few added details. They already have crystals, meditation, herbalism, and now tarot soon. It definitely feels like astrology is missing!

With how the Zodiac signs worked in Sims 2, I am a bit wary of them in terms of limitations. (At least for those who care for storytelling gameplay or creating Sims of beloved characters.) IRL Zodiac signs are fairly broad where almost anyone can find something in their sign that actually correlates to them. In the Sims, to make the signs have actual relevance there were more specifics and thus limitations. Each sign fell into having a specific range of personality traits. In turn, if you were creating a self Sim or a Sim of a real person, their sign could quite often not match up with real life or at least not with how you perceived them.  I always disliked how my sign was presented because a lot of the traits weren't me at all. I laughed at some of the stats of signs regarding people I knew. Yes, I know that some traits are "givens" for the sign, but it was so stereotyped. 

The other thing about how Zodiac signs were used was via attraction. Again, it makes sense considering how it is actually used by people to feel out if they could be compatible with someone else. Nevertheless, with the game, if you had two Sims you were set on being together, they could not have the same Zodiac sign. Attraction was not possible for them. Then there was the rest of the system that went into the concept of how certain signs are more compatible and less compatible with each other. That is great for a player just going with the flow, doesn't care to interfere much with their Sims' lives, likes to observe what happens and hopes for some chaos. It is not so great when a player is trying to relive, recreate or create a "new chapter" based on people they know IRL or fictional characters they like.

As it goes, you can just ignore the sign as an actual representation and consider it a silly label rather than actual representation. Flexibility is often a good thing. Nevertheless, what is the point of using the signs as indicators then?

I wouldn't mind the Zodiac signs coming to play as long as they don't create roadblocks. If they affect attraction to some degree, okay... but don't make it impossible for Sims with "grossly incompatible" signs near impossible to be together or Sims with the same sign have no possible attraction for one another. 

I agree with anova1147, too complicated of programing!  ......................................No offense intended to anyone, but this content in any pack would totally turn me away!!!  Prefer a to play in an peaceful world, as boring as it may seem to many, however, everyone liking each other and getting along nicely together, helping each other,  is not only a world that does not exist on this planet, 

,....it is very challenging to achieve this loving, caring, fun, drama free world, in my game!

maybe a toggle on/off option will do? (for those who doesn't want these in the game)

the zodiac traits were there in The Sims 2 and i believe The Sims 1 and 3 too so why not The Sims 4?
but it should be optional in my opinion though

I do want zodiacs but I don't think I want it set up like this. One idea I had was with this concept:

• Simology: Astrology Signs (with seasons will be tied to the closest applicable season). Astrology signs can improve certain traits' moodlet results if they are complimentary to the sign. Example moody traits (Gloomy, Macabre, etc.) may be associated with the Cancer sign and complimentary to creative moods, Scorpio may be complimentary to flirty moods and the Materialistic trait. This should inspire to make Sims' traits complimentary to their zodiac sign and/or vice versa or otherwise fun to make them conflicting.
• Birthstones (Crystals Creations cross-pack) if wearing your birthstone (aka in game crystal) mood's moodlet has double effect.

I want zodiac signs and more turn off-turn ons from sims 2
