Line 8:
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|Patch 17]]. They do not affect a Sim's personality or lifestyle.
In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', there is a preset personality for each Zodiac sign. In ''The Sims'', a player who wants a Sim to have a specific sign can 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 the 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 personality for a sign is 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]]'' personality points were replaced by a system of [[Trait (The Sims 3)|
The Sim 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 learned and passed genetically from parents to children, but in this case Tara is an adopted child. This happens with most playable Sims 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.
Line 138:
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.

== Common Sign Mismatches in the Sims 2 ==
Many playable Sims in the Sims 2 have personalities that are mismatched with their zodiac sign. Here is a list of the most common zodiac sign mismatches.

There are playable 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.
Sims whose zodiac signs are not visible when viewing [[SimPE]] are not mismatched in-game.
Unlike 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.
