The Sims 4 Zodiac Traits

Make it Zodiac Traits and Acquired Traits. The followings specifically refer to Zodiac Traits. For The 48 Periods, please refer to Personology (by Gary Goldschneider).

The 48-Traits Edition
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.

The 336-Traits Edition
Make it two groups of traits: Sun Traits, Moon Traits. There are the same 336 traits in both of the groups. Make the moon phase cycle be also 7 days, just like the season in The Sims 4. Since 28÷336×24=2 and 7÷336×24×60=30, make each Sun Trait advance once every 2 hours, each Moon Trait advance once every 30 minutes in the time system. As for the 336 traits, we can refer to the 366 traits from The Secret Language of BIRTHDAYS by Gary Goldschneider & Joost Elffers, just selecting the traits from the first 28 days of each month.

Please choose the better edition which you think. 🙂

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.

    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!
