Scope
Liz:
Emma, what usually happens when you 'Scope Room' is, once SimEmma looks around at the available prey and declares that "Goopy is HOT!", you'll then have an insta-Want-roll that'll then turn up Wants to flirt and/or ask out Goopy and, say, TransGoopy (it'll often throw in the 2nd hottest - according to your sim's own twisted criteria of hawt-ness, of course), along with corresponding Fears of being rejected by the Goops.
cwykes:
What puzzles me is why scope doesn't always fix on the sim your sim has the most bolts for. Yesterday for example, my sim checked out SimX and got "Y is hot", but when I looked at her relationship panel, she had 0 bolts for SimY and 2 for simZ. I seem to remember a crossed out bolt coming up as "hot" as well a while back. What's going on?
J. M. Pescado:
This is because bolts are bilateral chemistry, but scope displays only unilateral attraction, which has only a loose, and possibly no, correlation.

Um. I do know that, I'm not an idiot. :P

It depends on the other sim. If the attraction is bad (say, he hates blonde hair but likes glasses and fatness, and your sim is fit with blonde hair and no face furniture) then it lowers the attraction score. Then, there is personailty and aspiration thrown in. Plus, sims are dumb. That's why it is good to choose for your sim rather than letting them choose for themselves.

My apologies, I didn't read your comments closely enough and thought you weren't that familiar with scope. Naturally, I should know better than to think you weren't already well versed in the scoping of Goopy's hotness. Clearly my bad (^_-)

Ugh, amen to that. I've had more than one loser sim get the heart-farts for fricking Tiffany Zarubin from the garden club. Spluh!
