Children will get the renu-u-portachug upon becoming teens if you do not change the randomly rolled turn ons and turn off.
That's a good thing to know.

This game is just weird...
I changed Reggie the dormie's turn on's and turn off's. My sim and him are both Libra's, she is pleasure and he is popularity. Not ONE bolt!!! She kept only thinking about the cow mascot with hearts around.
So I gave in. The cow kept thinking of her with hearts too. They got married last night. When he moved in I checked his turn on's. He had a thing for obese vampires...none of which matches my sim! Besides, he is a family sim. Forgot to check his sign, but still.
Anyone care to take a shot of explaining this one to me?

From what I can tell the turn ons and offs don't really effect chemistry that much - they might boost it a little (say, go from repulsed to neutral, or neutral to one bolt), but chemistry is mainly affected by aspiration/zodiac sign.
But I'm no programmer so can't really verify - that's only my observations

I'm sure the last sim that this happened to had his turn ons/offs changed... now that I know this, I can at least do some more investigating...

Not me, I can't figure this stuff out at all. I've got a popularity sim that has a ton of sims with 2 lightning bolts (most of which don't match in turnons) but no amount of tweaking will put the couples at 3. He's a Libra. The first try was a wealth and according to that chart Maxis put up, wealth and popularity don't get along - so that explains why they couldn't get 3, yes? (why they had 2, I have no idea). So I set him up with a romance (apparently good/neutral, unless I wrote the chart down wrong - how come that's the only one not the same both ways anyways?) Taurus (she should like Libras, he's not repelled by Taurus), moved her in and set all their turn ons and offs to match and same thing - 2 bolts, but not 3.
I had another fella - pleasure aspiration, happened to like blondes so I found him a blonde girlfriend. They're at 3 bolts right off the bat. Moved her in (I learned my lesson, no one is getting engaged unless they move in first, until I figure it out - I want 3 bolts, and very few divorces) and they dropped to 2. I didn't touch anything, so why did it drop? She's romance so they get along pretty well (at least it makes sense), so switching turnons around gave them back 3 but still... and the popularity above really liked her, even tho he doesn't care anything for blondes and her turnons were ridiculous things (fatness and stink, iirc) that didn't fit either of them.
Does anyone know - if you go to the relationship menu and click on the lightning bolt, is the way they're listed meaningful? All the three bolts are first and then the two and then one, but within that? If there are a bunch of 2 bolts, is the one listed first the one they're most attracted to? (It's not relationship score as the ones he has the higher relationship with is further back in the list.) If it IS attraction tho, the dang wealth sim comes up top of his list and I don't get that at all...
<very confused>
Matching interests and/or randomness must play a greater role than I'm giving them credit for. Maybe I should have them share interests and bunch more and they'd get to liking each other better?
I'm going to end up having everyone he likes over and having him scope the room so I can figure out who he really likes best (but not his sister-in-law - I don't care if he has a thing for her, she's happy with his brother, dang 'em).
