Agree. It could, though, be part of the atraction system. One more variable but not an overwhelming one...

That's true. I definitely wouldn't mind having both. Anything that could give the sims a bit more personality is good with me.

Zodiac signs, and anything to improve the sims personalities for that matter, should be in a free update.

I think I'd only want them back if they actually DO something. Like others have said, within an attraction system would be best. Maybe if they did a Romance-based pack? If not, then a patched in attraction system. Otherwise I don't really see a use for them (apart from my incredibly nerdy habit of assigning 'birth months' to sims based on the zodiac sign).

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.

This any day. I personally think zodiac signs are overall ridiculous in real life (none of it makes any sense or correlated to anything - I’m nowhere near how my supposed zodiac sign is) and would not want it back in the Sims ever again and if so... an option to turn it off.

Attractions/chemistry and fleshed out traits are way better.

This is the only thing I really want patched into the game as well as favourites. It’s been in all the other sim games and it should have come with the base game. We should not have to pay for it as part of a ep or even gp.

I would love to see zodiacs back but I hope they do them differently than in the previous games. I would like to see Sim versions e.g. a freezer bunny sign, a llama sign, a cow plant sign, a gnome sign etc. It would give the Sims 4 a bit more lore I think.

This for sure! Why use RL birth signs in a fictional universe. That's one thing that The Elder Scrolls gets right. And if you were to use RL birth signs which one would you use? Traditional Western? Hindu? Chinese? Mayan? Much easier to make up your own.

Expanded list of possible candidates: Father Winter, The Llama, The Freezer Bunny, The Gnome, The Sad Clown, The Alien, The Werewolf, The Fairy, The Sage of Mischief, The Sage of Untamed Magic, The Sage of Practical Magic, The Mermaid, The Cow Plant, The Money Tree, The Burglar, Death.

Also , there should be more than 12 signs, maybe 16.

Another candidate: the Dragon

Why not both?

Hypothetical Question: Assuming we had a decent attraction system (which, I'll grant, we don't) that was based on actual social attractors rather than the Zodiac, what would you want Zodiac Signs to add? More autonomous behaviors? (like the Personality Types in KwaiiStaci's Slice of Life.) Or something else?
