@Camkat I like TS2s attraction system too, but I think it could be extended and enhanced to a great degree to include traits, careers, money...
I sim can have an "attraction profile" similar to traits in TS3. Then their attraction to other sims could be calculated based off what they tick off from that list. They could have several turn-ons and turn-offs.
Example turn-ons:
- Redhead
- Seniors
- Family sims
- Loners
- Policemen
- Teachers
- Flirty trait
- "Nice" "Friendly" sims
- "Mean", "Hot Headed" sims
- Good sense of humour
- At least 5K money
Example turn-offs:
- Workaholic
- "Mean", "Hot Headed" sims
- Weight
- Family sims
- Snobiness
- Slobiness
- Laziness
- No sense of humour
Etc. So you could have a friendly, family-oriented sim that is attracted to flirty and fit redhead policemen, for example. If they meet a redhead, that's +1. If they meet a flirty and fit redhead, that's +3. If he's also a policeman, it's the perfect match.
@Zei, I would really like to see that kind of attraction implemented though I have no idea of how that would be coded into the game. But I like the idea of someone being attracted to a certain type of sim.
I’d love to see if there could also be an attraction towards a certain sim that can build over time. (Like Haruo towards River)

and vice versa based on whether they’re married, dating or single and what interactions they have (if they have bad interactions the attraction wanes and the desire to cheat (if married) grows unless they have the faithfulness attribute (trait) where he/she just ends up being long-suffering).
Like my own 20 year marriage to my wife in real life has grown stronger through that length of time and I’m more in love with her than when we exchanged rings (I’d have to say I was head over heels in love with her at the wedding so you can pretty much say that we’re inseparable now) and we’ve come through some pretty rough patches too.
Oh, and she happens to be a red-head...+1 ? :mrgreen:
