Zodiac sign

Userbox:

When 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.

In The Sims 2, players also have the opportunity to select a sign from the Zodiac, and use the preset traits for that sign as a starting point. Personality traits affect not only the things Sims prefer to do, but also their relationships. In The Sims 3 this was replaced by a Traits system.

This is the same for both The Sims and The Sims 2.

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.

Zodiac Sign Descriptions for The Sims and The Sims 2

Aries: Dynamic and confident, most Aries never shy away from the opportunity to strike up a conversation with anyone. However, they can be somewhat impulsive and quick-tempered.

Taurus: The typical Taurus is strong-willed and determined. That can often mean determined to have a good time.

Gemini: Youthful and lively, many think Gemini have enough energy for two. Also energized by conversation, it isn't surprising to find them bouncing from one topic to the next at parties.

Cancer: There is nothing extreme about Cancers--they are very balanced. They can also be very changeable which can be good or bad depending on the situation.

Leo: The ultimate "people" people, Leos are complete extroverts. Unfortunately, this makes them deficient in other areas.

Virgo: Modest and shy, introverted Virgos take pride in their meticulous and practical approach to life. Unfortunately, these same traits can result in a very fussy individual.

Libra: Romantic and charming and incredibly sociable, it's hard not to like a Libra. However, their social pursuits leave them little time for more practical endeavors.

Scorpio: While somewhat withdrawn from social activities, Scorpios are forceful and determined in more practical pursuits.

Sagittarius: Jovial and carefree, Sagittarians are also blessed with boundless energy. Unfortunately, this combination can make them restless and careless.

Capricorn: Armed with a dry wit, Capricorns can often be found telling a good joke. Also being very practical, they strive for order and discipline.

Aquarius: Friendly and amusing, Aquarians are excellent companions. Being well balanced in other areas helps to make them the most agreeable sign.

Pisces: Selfless and kind, Pisces are one of the nicest signs. They're active too. However, this combination can make them emotionally restless and indecisive.

Late Night

Zodiac signs have returned in The Sims 3: Late Night and in 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 and Taurus.[1]

Zodiac Signs from The Sims 3: Late Night.

You can discover other people's signs by asking them in the romantic interactions section: "What is your 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 other 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.
