Zodiac sign



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.

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. 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.
