you can still be turn on or off wanting to be someones friend or not it doesnt have to be romantically
Turn-ons and turn-offs seem to be more related to romance.
Yet Growing Together adds Social Compatibility mechanic. You can choose which characteristics your sim likes or dislikes and sims that match their likes will have easier time befriending than sims that don't.
wrong Lovestruck expanded love that include love friendship too plus growing together dont have turn on or off just because your not interest in romance dont meant you dont have turn on or off then it comes to friends
you always get red and green flags then comes to friendships red and green flags doesnt just exist then you feeling a romance between people
you get friend attraction just as much as you get romance attraction the kind of attraction you feel when drawn to someone because you like that person and enjoy being with him or her or they, turn on and turn off is what drawn you to a person or not drawn to a person that makes you wanna talk to a person or puts off from a person and you dont wanna talk to the person at all
Let me just say that thing said from the livestream.
Sims tend to interact more with sims they find attractive.
Plus yes, Growing Together doesn't have turn-ons and turn-offs, but it has a system that affects how easy is for sims to befriend each other. I've explained Sim Characteristics and Social Compatibility further here, but you can choose which characteristics your sim likes and dislikes and based on that, social compatibility is calculated.
But if you say that, then I think we'll see if the attraction still comes into play with sims that your sim isn't interested in romancing with. The Sims 2 did that sims going against the gender preference didn't elicit attraction at all, but for The Sims 4, I don't know right now...
