Nightlife Chemistry
striker:
The lightning bolts show in 2 places. the relationship panel and in the interaction piemenu's.
The relationship panel is the current chemistry. The current chemistry affects the piemenu by opening up interactions that would not be opened based on the current relationship standing.
The interactions that are opened up because of chemistry have the lightning bolt on them to separate them from the interactions that actually are based on DR and LR.
If you do an interaction that has lightning bolts, know that you have a higher chance of rejection than the interactions that do NOT have the lightning bolts.

I like the chemistry system, too. Now my sims can get all hot and bothered by their non-romance partners. Before, it was too predictable knowing that every romance sim will have the others swooning. Now you don't know who'll swoon over whom! Sometimes it's surprising. Yesterday, the sister of Giles' girlfriend (poor Giles is my sleeping avatar) suddenly got all swoony over Giles. Giles is a family sim! I love this aspect. I also think it's hilarious when sims will gag at each other if they have negative chemistry. At first I didn't know what was going on. My sims were on a casual outing at "The Hub" and doing the smustle, and Joe would keep stopping to gag at his son Justin's wife. I checked to make sure she didn't stink, or anything, then I looked in Joe's relationship panel and saw the crossed-out lightening bolt. I laughed so hard at that!

I actually once got to use the chemistry system. A sim of mine had chemistry tward a sim, but he did not have chemistry tward her. He was rejecting the pie menu icons with a lightning bolt. He did however tell her that he liked glasses. Once she put on glasses, he accepted the interactions marked with a lightning bolt.

I haven't seen any interactions with lightning bolts on them, - or else I'm not paying that much attention to them. :-\
Wait, my bad - I know what you're talking about now - I was think about lightning bolts in the want slots.

The acceptance part is definitely more important than the ability to initiate an action. It's good to hear that you've seen a real effect on this. For my part, I just tested a Kiss / Romantic between two sims who were simply friends. They had 3 bolts of chemistry between them, and he accepted the kiss even though his LTR was only 40 with her. It worked the other way, too, and she only had a 35 LTR with him. My prior experience was that below 50 kisses were always rejected.
