Sim Characteristics & Social Compatibility
If you have Growing Together, then you have a new likes and dislikes category: Sim Characteristics.
When you put on a Sim Characteristic preference, it will take effect on other sims as soon as you meet them (if they have the right traits). Each Characteristic has traits that add points (+) and traits that remove points (-). If the Characteristic is dislike, the points will be reversed. So 3 points would become -3 points.
Here are the characteristics and what traits they include:
- Ambitionless Sims
- Argumentative Sims
- Cerebral Sims
- Egotistical Sims
- Emotional Decision-Makers
- Family-Motivated Sims
- Funny Sims
- Hard-Working Sims
- High Energy Sims
- Homebody Sims
- Idealist Sims
- Nature Enthusiasts
- Optimistic Sims
- Pessimistic Sims
- Pet Enthusiasts
- Rascals
- Romance Enthusiasts (Teens and up)
- Spirited Sims
The final compatibility score is a sum or both sim's compatibility score. And if it's not neutral, a puzzle piece icon will indicate their compatibility. Here are the compatibility tiers and their point ranges:
- Amazing: 6 and up
- Good: 2 to 6
- Neutral: -2 to 2
- Bad: -2 to -6
- Awful: -6 and lower
So, for example, if Sim A has 3 points towards Sim B and Sim B has 4 points towards Sim A, it totals up to 7 points, making the game show Amazing Compatibility for both of the sims.
Family-Motivated Sims
Family-Motivated Sims are often very dedicated to their families. They also tend to find contentment spending time with the youngsters in their lives.
Liking Family-Motivated Sims means other Sims with traits like Family-Oriented or Childish will gain some compatibility with your Sim. However, traits like Hates Children will lower their compatibility with your Sim.
Traits:
- Family-oriented +3
- Childish +3
- Child of the Village (For Rent) +2
- Domestic (Aspiration bonus) +1
- Hates Children -1
