Gender preference was introduced in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and carried forward into ''[[The Sims 3]]''. In ''The Sims 2'', it operates on a scale of -1000 to 1000, which [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] represents as -10.0 to 10.0, rounded to the nearest tenth.<ref>The raw scores can be viewed with the Status...My Status option on the [[InSimenator]] machine or with the third-party program TS2 Enhancer.</ref> In ''The Sims 3'', it uses a signed, 32-bit integer.<ref>[http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=6a32f982104db727552d3d46ce14e04f&topic=16469.msg474869#msg474869 J.

Each Sim who is a [[teen]] or older  has a set gender preference that is defined by the averaged total of all their romantic interactions with other Sims. For instance, if the majority of a Sim's romantic interactions have been with females, that Sim will have a preference for females, and vice versa, if the majority of the Sim's romantic interactions have been with males. Gender preference is fluid; a Sim's gender preference scores gradually change as they engage in romantic interactions with other Sims. Enough interactions can change a Sim's preference for a gender from negative to positive, or vice versa; e.g., a female Sim with a preference towards females who repeatedly has romantic interactions with male Sims may develop a preference for males. It is possible to influence the gender preference of [[townie]]s and uncontrolled Sims by performing minor flirt interactions such as checking them out or whistling at them. Players with ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' should note that autonomous flirting by an [[Mascot#The Evil Mascot|evil cow mascot]] ''will'' affect the gender preference of the Sim being flirted with.
 
In ''The Sims 2'', 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.
Line 20:
A player-controlled Sim can be commanded to perform romantic interactions regardless of gender preference, though it appears to be more difficult for romantic interactions in ''The Sims 3'' to succeed if the Sim being pursued has a gender preference not associated with the pursuing Sim.
 
Gender preference is a hidden aspect  of Simology that can normally not be seen without the use of cheats, mods, or programs such as [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]].
 
In ''The Sims 3'', gender preference can be set with the use of mods such as NRAAS master controller.
