I agree but I doubt it will ever happen. Many people here do not wish for their Sims to prefer a Sim over the choices they have made for their Sim. But in TS4 I have no idea why any Sim is attracted to someone else. It is so annoying. lol (Considering even TS1 had a minor attraction system, zodiac signs only).

Yes you are right, people prefer to choose Sims mates. But here's the problem, because Sims have their own preferences in TS4. How many "My Sim Prefer Neighbor Over Partner" topics were there? I play a lot, I romance all the time, I create marriages and I see how difficult it is sometimes to "pair up" someone. Sims don't want to talk, they don't want to flirt on their own and then they go to the bar and they have a pink bar with some random Sim.

I noticed that if you introduce a couple of Sims as a marriage in new game, "divorce them" and "forget" by MCCC mod, it is much easier to romance, because the game has for 99% attraction between spouses.

People who want to choose their Sim's partners themselves can set the appropriate characteristics for them, and voila! 100% match! Instead, we gamers get tired and frustrated at times because we have no idea how it works (because SOMETHING works here!).

So instead of asking for more things that are just another "fancy", like cars or horses, please, let's start writing more about it to the creators! Is it so hard to "attract" (like the celebrities in "Get Famous" ExpPack) to the "match" person and force Sims to have more romantic interactions?

But players have been giving Maxis their feedback and very in-depth posts for over seven years here. I know I wrote a very in-depth post about why all Sims are the same back in the first few months of TS4's release. Nothing has been done about that, either, although people still make those type of threads and give very detailed reasons of how and why it's bothersome and point out very easy things to change but they don't.

I think Maxis has a contract to release so many packs and free content ever so often and that's about all they will do other than throwing some a bone by allowing them to create some extra thing to add to the game either in a patch or released as a noted content update.
