Having read the Sims Wiki page ... I'm not convinced that Zodiac signs would actually be useful. I guess as part of an attraction system, but I'd rather the attraction system be based on actual attractors (humor, appearance, intelligence, compassion, strength, wealth, ambition, etc.) than some esoteric "sign" I mean, it's Sims, so even though I think astrological attraction/personality type is hogwash in real life, I don't mind it being part of the sims, but it's not something I think the game actually needs.
That and there are more zodiacs out there than the Western one. Maybe if they made up their own zodiac, that could be fun.
I have no idea why this is so popular. If they introduced it for the first time, people would complain that it's a dumbed-down verison of personality. (All of my Sims were Libra when they had zodiac signs, because I didn't need a totally random reason for Sims to be incompatible.) As you say, attraction should be based on interests and values.
