'''Gender preference''' is a feature of a [[Sim]]'s personality. It governs which [[gender]] a Sim, [[Free will|acting autonomously]], may choose to interact romantically with.
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 [[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
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 the gender preference of the Sim being flirted with.
