Zodiac Signs for Sims

For anyone who wants to give their Sims Zodiac signs, you are welcome to use my system. I am an astrologer as well as a Simmer, and I can't help but use the Moon phases, Seasons, etc., to give my Sims a simple birth chart when they are born. I have also created legacies where each new sim born is given their future by the zodiac profile I give them. 

I went ahead and created a web page called "Simstrology", which shows how to do this; it is just the instructions (I'm not selling anything; I simply want to share because I know people miss zodiac signs in the game). 

My system also gives a Rising sign, Sun sign, and Moon sign. Because I am an astrologer, I also work out a simple house system (which I've not added to my instructions yet, I know that would be over the heads of many simmers). 

And ironically, I'm afraid for there to be zodiac signs put back into the game because if they don't match with the season a sim was born, etc, it will feel ridiculous to me. 

Anyway, I will try to add more to the page I created to make the system more simple, but in the meantime, there is an option if you want Zodiac signs back!

    That's pretty cool I tend to use the mod by vickysims that gives Sun sign. But this is a very cool idea. I would love something like this in game, and just in the sim profile as a bit, not a trait, so you could have your Sun, Moon, and Rising. Maybe go to an Astrologer and get your Star chart in game. This coming pack would've been a good time for that, especially since they're adding things like tarot in.  And we already have crystals.

      If sims 4 introduced a fortune teller in the game, then this would make common sense for gameplay. I'm not holding my breath on this. It's a great idea but....I want a drivable, animated car first.

        Meanwhile, I have a zodiac system people can use if they want that option. 🌟😁🌟

      Considering the mechanics for moon phases, seasons, times and days, etc., they could definitely make something like my system in the game! And if they consulted with actual professional astrologers (or even AI these days), they could allocate traits/aspirations/careers based on the sim's zodiac profile.

      I imagine it could even be done in reverse, where the traits of Sim made in CAS could have their chart devised based on the traits and aspiration they are created with. 

      I think it would be best if it came with a pack because I know not all simmers would want something like this.

      Thanks! I'm not sure if it is within the forum's rules for me to put a link here, but it is called "Simstrology."

        Is it Tumblr only? Because that's all I was able to find.
