Zodiac sign



When creating a new Sim in The Sims and The Sims 2, the Sim will be given the Zodiac sign that's closest to the personality that was chosen. As the player assigns and reassigns personality points, the display will change to show which sign the Sim will have with that mix of points.

In The Sims 2, players also have the opportunity to select a sign from the Zodiac, and use the preset traits for that sign as a starting point. Personality traits affect not only the things Sims prefer to do, but also their relationships. In The Sims 3 this was replaced by a Traits system.

This is the same for both The Sims and The Sims 2.

Sims will generally get on well with other Sims who have the same sign, because they are attracted to others with similar personalities. However, personality and zodiac are separate contributors to chemistry, because Sims will keep the same sign even if their personality points are altered. "Attracted to" and "disgusted by" are not absolutes, but modifiers that help or hinder the growth of a relationship. Sims with incompatible signs can become good friends, and even lovers, if they have enough else in common. However, it'll take longer, and they'll have to work at it harder. Likewise, Sims with compatible signs but little else in common will have trouble building a relationship, and may even end up becoming enemies.

Late Night
Zodiac signs have returned in The Sims 3: Late Night and in Patch 17. The zodiac signs do not have a direct effect on a Sim’s personality. There is no horoscope that uses signs to determine behavior. (That’s what your mouse is for.) But it does give Sims an extra thing to talk about. Sims can use a new fl irty What’s Your Sign social to hopefully learn a potential paramour’s astrological sign. If the other Sim deigns to share, this information is stored on that Sim’s relationship entry in the Relationship tab of the Status Panel. If the other Sim has a compatible sign, you both receive a small relationship boost. These are the compatible signs:

Aries: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Aquarius

Taurus: Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, and Pisces

Gemini: Libra, Aquarius, Aries, and Leo

Cancer: Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, and Virgo

Leo: Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Libra.

Virgo: Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, and Scorpio

Libra: Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, and Sagittarius

Scorpio: Cancer, Pisces, Virgo, and Capricorn

Sagittarius: Leo, Aries, Libra, and Aquarius

Capricorn: Virgo, Taurus, Scorpio, and Pisces

Aquarius: Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, and Aries

Pisces: Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn, and Taurus
