When [[Create a Sim|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. Zodiac signs returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and in [[The Sims 3/Patch 17|Patchpatch 17]]. They havedo nonot effectaffect ona Sim's personality or lifestyle.

In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', playersthere alsois havea thepreset opportunitypersonality for each Zodiac sign. In ''The Sims'', a player who wants a Sim to selecthave a specific sign fromcan cycle through them by clicking on the part of the display that shows what the Sim's Zodiac sign would be. In ''The Sims 2'', the Sim will initially be given a random Zodiac sign and usethe associated personality. Players can change this by clicking on the symbol for the Zodiac sign they want the Sim to have. In both games, the preset traitspersonality for thata sign asis a starting point; players can reassign personality points as they see fit. [[Personality]] traits affect not only the things Sims prefer to do, but also their relationships. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'' thispersonality waspoints were replaced by a system of [[traitTrait (The Sims 3)|traits]]s, systemwhich Sims either do or do not have.
 
The simSim will be able to learn new behaviors or become closer to another zodiac sign in personality but still maintain its original sign, such as [[Tara DeBateau]] having the Leo sign but her personality is exactly the same as that of a pre-created Gemini. The justification is that these traits are learntlearned and passed genetically from parents to children, but in this case Tara is an adopted child. This happens with prettymost muchplayable all simsSims in [[Pleasantview]], [[Strangetown]], [[Veronaville]], and [[Belladonna Cove]], where their signs are different from its original, such as [[Jessica Peterson]] being a Libra sign and having the personality traits of a [[Create a Sim]] Leo.

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.
{{tip|width="90%"|Supposedly if a sign has another personality than it's original one, it will be recognized by the game as the closest similar sign,<ref>This has been recognized mostly in newer patches and can be seen when using "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" in ''The Sims 2'' while changing the personality on the fly as it will cause the sign to change according to personality.</ref> and this will work for the chemistry table above. For example, an Aries has the personality closest to an Aquarius so it will be recognized as an Aquarius.}}
 
== Common sign mismatches in The Sims 2 ==
==Late Night==
Some premade Sims in ''The Sims 2'' have personalities that are mismatched with their zodiac sign. Below is a list of the most common zodiac sign mismatches.
 
{{Col-begin}}
Zodiac signs have returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and in [[The Sims 3/Patch 17|Patch 17]]. They have no effect on personality or lifestyle, but they do make it easier to have contact with people of certain Zodiac signs. For example, a Pisces will be attracted to a Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus.[http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.simtimes.de%2Fspecials%2Fangespielt-unser-hands-on-zu-die-sims-3-late-night%2F] [[File:Ep3_cas_segnizodiacali.jpg|thumb|right|Zodiac Signs from The Sims 3: Late Night.]] Sims can discover other people's signs by asking them in the romantic interactions section: "Ask sign". Also note that one of the options a vampire has when reading a Sim's mind is that Sim's sign. Sims may be repulsed by the Sim because they don't have compatible signs or the Sims may get along well because they have discovered that their signs are compatible. Zodiac signs are randomly chosen for sims who were made before ''Late Night''.

There are some premade Sims with mismatched zodiac signs which are different from the common mismatches listed above. An example of this is [[Patrizio Monty]] who is a Sagittarius but has the [[personality]] of a Cancer rather than a Libra while [[Nervous Subject]] is an Aquarius but had the personality of a Virgo (if its crawled through [[Testingcheatsenabled|boolprop testingcheatsenabled true]] by the player) rather than a Sagittarius as well.
 
Sims whose zodiac signs are not visible when viewing [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] are not mismatched in-game.
 
Unlike premade playable Sims who usually have their genetic personalities at the start of the game, many [[NPCs]] from ''The Sims 2'' have randomized personalities that are different from their genetic ones, but their zodiac sign will match their genetic personality rather than the randomized one.
 
If [[testingcheatsenabled]] is activated before loading a lot, it is possible to manipulate the personality of a Sim by simply dragging it up and down. The zodiac sign of the Sim will change to reflect these changes.
 
==The Sims 3==
Zodiac signs returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and are carried forward with [[The Sims 3/Patch 17|patch 17]]. They have no effect on personality or lifestyle, but they do make it easier to have contact with people of certain zodiac signs. For example, a Pisces will be attracted to a Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus.[http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.simtimes.de%2Fspecials%2Fangespielt-unser-hands-on-zu-die-sims-3-late-night%2F] [[File:Ep3 cas segnizodiacali.jpg|thumb|right|Zodiac Signs from ''The Sims 3: Late Night''.]] Sims can discover other people's signs by asking them in the romantic interactions section: "Ask sign".

==Trivia==
*Cancer is a rather unique personality. In ''The Sims'', a Sim with 0 or 5 personality points in each area will be a Cancer. In ''The Sims 2'', through [[Testingcheatsenabled|boolprop testingcheatsenabled true]], having all 0 or 10 personality points in each area will also produce a Cancer.
*In real life, a person's zodiac sign (also called an [[Wikipedia:Astrological sign|astrological sign]]) is determined by their date of birth. Thus, two people born on the same day will share a zodiac sign. In-game, however, Sims may be born on the same day but have different signs, since a Sim's sign is determined by their personality and not by their birth date.
