I was watching this video by ironseagull, and I noticed this sentiment for the first time. But I don't feel cool about it. Like, in my experience, opposites don't attract when it comes to dating, and even in Sims 3 if two sims had opposing traits, it would be harder for them to get together, not easier. I'm really concerned about this sentiment.
Edit: In real life there are some people who like more challenging romantic interests, and some people who seek for people that are completely different than they are, so to me it would be ok if it wasn't something every sim could achieve, like if this was a perk/quirk/advantage of a trait. maybe adventurous (for those sims who like a challenge), or seducer (for those flirty sims who don't want any barriers when dating)... etc.
We've already got that in game -- just look at Bob and Eliza Pancakes and their traits.
Several saves ago, I did an experiment. I played the two of them long enough to get them in a bad relationship, then divorced them. I moved them out of the family home into different worlds (Bob, IIRC, was in Oasis Springs and Eliza was in a nice little cottage in Windenburg) and then played my other family to see whom MCCC would pair them with; I turned on marriage notifications so I could keep track of them.
MCCC married them to each other.
Can't stop fate, I guess. B)
