Line 17:
In ''The Sims 2'', most pre-made Sims have a neutral or nearly neutral gender preference; they either have no preference for either gender, or no preference for one and a slight preference for the other. In [[Nervous Subject|rare cases]], a pre-made Sim may have a slight preference against one gender, but no preference toward the other. Sims who are born in-game or are [[Adoption|adopted]] start their teen [[Life stages|stage]] with a neutral gender preference.
 
In general, romantic interactions will increase a Sim's gender preference for one gender by 2 and decrease that Sim's preference for the other by 1. However, there are some special cases. The "Do You Like What You See?" interaction affects gender preference, even though it is an "Ask..." action and not a flirt interaction. However, the "Scope Room" self-interaction introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' does not affect Sims' gender preferences. Players with ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' should note that autonomous flirting by an [[Mascot#The Evil Mascotmascots|evil cow mascot]] ''will'' affect the gender preference of the Sim being flirted with.
 
A few [[Circe Beaker|pre-made]] [[Titania Summerdream|Sims]] in ''The Sims 2'' have pre-set positive preferences for both genders. It is not normally possible for a Sim to develop a negative preference for both genders, though it can happen with Sims who have a pre-set negative preference for one gender.
