What turn-on/turn-offs would you like to see in The Sims2, apart from those that already exist?

I would personally love for the skintones to be turn-ons/turn-offs. They can code hair to be that way, why not skin?

I wish that sims can be attracted to outgoing sims, nice sims, active sims, or neat sims. That seems so much more realistic. Also, maybe sims should be attracted to eye color or skin tone, in addition to fitness and hair color.

I think eye color would be a nice addition, as would certain personality traits, such as neatness, outgoing etc. I 'know' they play a part in chemistry, as zodiac signs ( before someone jumps in and tells me I don't know about chemistry) , but it would be fun to choose these traits, as in real life, they are very important!

You cannot use Maxis game functions to change skin, eyes, or personality. Yes, I know there are hacks, but there is no OFFICIAL way to say "I want to be more appealing to someone who likes blue eyes and shyness, so I will make myself shyer and change my eyes to blue." I like turn ons to be things like hair and clothing, because they can be changed. But clothing colors would be nice.

Put in colored contacts. That should be available ingame. People alter their eye color all the time.
ETA: I know they are available for DL, but it would be a nice option for people who don't like to DL CC. It seems like no matter what Maxis gives us, we want more, more, more. It's just the human condition.

Skintones, eyecolour and personality would sound really good.

I'm annoyed we don't have opposites of things. We have a "fat" turn on, why not a "fit" one?

there is the fit one... you can see a bended arm with lot of muscles...

I would also LOVE an aspiration turn on/turn off. I know it palys a part in the chemistry, but I mean, a knowladge sim who had a thing for popularity sims? That would be fun

Age and Gender. (With the ability to adjust turn ons at each age step.) I really don't want my teen age girl to be turned on by an Elder just because he was fit and wearing a beard.

Because making racist Sims would be so much fun.


That's probably why they didn't include skintones as turn ons/turn offs. To avoid that kind of backlash. Notice how all the Turn ons/Turn offs are stuff that can be changed (in game).

That reminds me oddly... If you change a sim's haircolor, will that change be superficial or genetical?

Superficial without SimPE or the like.

Definitely don't want skintone as a turn on or off. I'd like rich/poor though.

Since there's an option to be attracted/repelled to/by vampires, I think there should also be one for werewolves, plantsims, robots, zombies, and possibly aliens.

Didn't think of that. But I still would like to have that. It would work if it was only possible as a turn-on. And the sim doesn't have to be a racist if they like uh, dark skinned sims better.

I would like personality and aspiration to be turn ons/turn offs

Aspiration isn't really a Turn On/Turn Off, but it is part of Chemistry.

For example, a Popularity Aspiration and a Knowledge Aspiration do NOT mix. Although a Family and Knowledge Aspiration make really good Chemistry.

I know that but I think it'd be funny if we decided that said knowladge sim had a thing for popularity sims, despite their aspiration being compleatly un-compatiled (however that's spelled)

A skin tone turn-off

Hair length (long/medium/short) and hair texture (curly/wavy/straight) -- all changeable with a Maxis mirror.

I really don't think the official rules about chemistry and aspirations are that important.

For example, one of my happiest couples is knowledge/popularity (with one bolt). The knowledge sim will happily study for skill points and go off to work while the popularity sim stays at home to take care of the kids and throws parties every day.

There's also my single romance sim, who had negative chemistry with this guy. But I had him flirt anyway, because that's what he wanted at the time. And like ten minutes later, they had two bolts of chemistry with each other, and I didn't change anything in the meantime.

I would love following turn on/offs

- rich/poor
- eyecolor
- zodiac signs (I know this might sound strange, but I think it could be fun! YES, I know it already might have something to do with the chemistry. But I want to say myself what my sims think is attractive.)
- age (I hate it when teens get attracted to elders)
-turn on/off for werewolves, plantsims, zombies, etc... (what makes vampires better than the rest? They have a turn on/off and the rest not. Think of it...)

I suddenly started thinking (I only do that once a year...) if maxis isn't giving us more turn on/offs, can we make our own?

Tell that to one of my Sim couples. Husband is Knowledge, Wife is Popularity and they cannot keep their hands off each other! XD That's why I believe Aspiration has only a little to do with chemistry and can be overridden by other factors. The only constant has been Family and Romance Sims hating each other for obvious reasons.



Think about it. What would you rather kiss...a charismatic, suave vampire, a furry and slobbering werewolf, a dirt-covered plantperson, or a rotting, smelly zombie? :p

Then again, if Sims can be attracted to Stink...

NH1, a good while back I asked that very same question and it seemed that either a.) no one knew how, b.) it was too complicated, or c.) it was just about impossible. I've wanted more turn ons and turn offs for ages now; I'm bored to death with the ones we have. I keep hoping against hope that Maxis will add more with new expansions but so far, no dice.
