Preferences or Chemistry?

Thank you for fixing the link :)

I wouldn't mind if Attraction is tied in with Likes/Dislikes. They would have to reconfigure it to make it act differently, but it's possible.

I just want it to be a real attraction system, so if your sim doesn't like sims with brown hair, they won't be able to romance them at all. No more romancing everyone. If sims aren't attracted to someone, then they shouldn't romance them at all.

I've been using Wonderful Whims for awhile, and I do like it, but I don't think it's strong enough. I would like the game to come out with a new attraction system that actually effects the way your sim interacts with other sims.

I so wish its about romantic preference like we had turn ons/turn offs in ts2

like if sim likes beards or makeup or fancy nails or such on their partner or nah

but it could also be more about preference for their own clothing sadly

because i noticed when i gave patina manicure that she liked her nails because she likes color blue so maybe that is what they needed clothes related preference code for?

anyway id probably die of happy if i could have big romance pack about rn

slight disagree because id still like to have sims able to romance regardless of their perhaps misguided genetics bias

like maybe sim has always found blonde hair ugly but then they meet sim thats otherwise a snacc and decide that dang okay ill accept u regardless of blonde hair

it should just be a lot harder to match sims that dislike everything about each others looks tho and they shouldn't autonomously romance people they find somehow unlikeable

if they do romantic preference though they should do gender preferences for it as in if sim can be attracted to masculine,feminine,both,neither etc.

and yeah for these i would like if sims would just fully not romance any gender they are not attracted to

I don't know much about coding, so this is likely completely wrong, but could the CAS preferences have anything to do with this:

(Hope you don't mind me using your image @Zeldaboy180 ).

Perhaps Sims will become happy if wearing clothing that is a colour that they like (or unhappy wearing one they don't)?

Hmm... You know what the CAS prefrences make me think of? Style influencer career overhaul.

At the same time, the new nails thing give me feeling that we're close on getting werewolves in The Sims 4...

But if chemistry comes, that's awesome. And if there are new likes and dislikes, I hope more slots get freed up (20 to 25 for time being) (or some such, I assign all the slots so I won't get those "do you want your sim to like that" notifications, so sometimes my sims have likes or dislikes I'm willing to free up).

This is honestly exactly what I do not want with any sort of attraction system in the Sims. I understand IRL people can have types and everyone has something they are not willing to entertain in a romantic partner, some things being incredibly shallow and that is fine. You do you. However, for every Sim I make to be locked to such shallow attraction mandates would mean I would never use it. Call me an idealist, but I like to think true connections and chemistry are based on more than just hair color and at the very least it is going to be that way in my Sims 4 video game.

I hope this is for romance!!
Sexual preference, career preference, trait preference, physical quality preference etx

That's another nope from me. Real people end up dating (and even marrying) people that don't match their ideal looks all the time, and the best relationships are based on something deeper than appearance.

I'd be perfectly fine with no autonomous flirting with someone who doesn't meet your sim's appearance standards, but if I'm in control of the sim, I should have a chance to direct romantic interactions with any sim and while it may require a little more time (and maybe a chemistry system based on traits and skills) to get past an unplayed sim's appearance likes, it should be possible (with the exception of incompatible orientations... though I like all sims being Bi, myself.)

I wouldn't mind romantic (and friendship, for that matter) preferences based more on traits or likes (as opposed to looks), kind of how "good" and "evil" Sims generally don't get along. However, I would also like to be able to override the preferences and still be able to flirt with Sims that don't have the same traits or interests if I choose to.
