Free time- attraction wierdness
Process Denied:
Isn't there also a fitness factor. They have an preference for a certain level of fitness. I have a male Sim that is identical to his son in every way except for their fitness preference and while the son has three bolts for certain girls, his father will only have two. This is before FT. Because the father is dead now.

Well, the dead generally have less attraction for other people (and vice versa). ;D
Sorry, couldn't resist.

They only have preference for a certain level of fitness if you set them with a turn-on/turn-off against fitness or the lack thereof. What you are noticing is the game behaving exactly as advertised. The boy had more bolts for the girl than his father because the girl matched more of the boy's turn-ons than his father's.

Actually the turn ons and off are exactly the same. At that time, every single sim or romance sim have exactly the same turn ons and offs. Turn ons are custom hair and make up. Which everyone has or less they are married and not romance. The turn off is fatness which doesn't apply because of the fitness for all hack. That way everyone has an equal footing and I can tell who is the most attractive to the sim.

Relationships such as marriage do have a positive effect on attraction - this was stated when attraction was introduced, and I assume it is there so pre-existing couples have at least some chemistry. Which is why I find it so odd that all Maxis couples have 0 or 1 bolts - that's what I get when I deliberately try to make them as incompatible as possible.
Sims that have high relationship (either high STR/LTR, or friends/love/etc), are not permitted to have X-bolts, and if their natural chemistry is worse, they receive the minimum.
Secondary aspirations also appear to have an effect on new FT-chemistry, so if your sims have matching secondary aspirations, they may get better chemistry than they previously had with different, allegedly-incompatible ones.
