Nightlife Chemistry
sara_dippity:
I like the grilled cheese aspiration for the same reason I like married family sims. Easy to keep in platinum. Married family sims got their woohoo chain for a once a day platinum (twice if you lock the woohoo and save it), and grilled cheese go into platinum by serving grilled cheese to their family. They get the want to serve it, then several wants in a row for serving to someone, and it's fufilled each time that someone takes a bite.

One thing I've noticed is that the game appears to be taking sexual preference into account with the chemistry thing, which it didn't before. I have a new Sim who so far has only fancied men (he's still neutral in preference as he hasn't had any romantic encounters yet), but in each case although he's found them "Hot", there has been no lightning bolt, which suggests they don't reciprocate his feelings. I know for a fact that two of them are very straight, but the third is AC/DC, so presumably there are other factors involved as well. It's a little confusing and it would help greatly to have another sign for "I fancy you but you don't fancy me", so if necessary we could work on improving things.
The scope out the room appears to tell you the most attractive sim in the room. The lack of a lightning bolt doesn't mean it's not reciprocated, it means he's not really attracted to them. The lighning bolts are like all other aspects of the relationship panel, it only shows what your sim thinks. One sim can have a lightning bolt while the other doesn't. So it's not that the other sim is straight, just that your sim doesn't dig him as much as you would think, what with him saying "He is HOT!!" and all.

I'd also LOVE to see a separate bar within Relationships to list all the Sims my Sim is furious with.
Hell Yeah.

Edit: I just looked at the chart mentioned above, and I am confused because it doesn't list the same things going across as it does going down. For instance, reading the cheese aspiration across the bottom says that cheese is neutral with anything else but cheese, but reading down from the right it says cheese is also good with Fortune (wealth) and Pleasure. How can that be?
The chart isn't a representation of mutual attraction, simply what one side of the relationship thinks. A cheese sim will only be good with another chesse sim, but a fortune or pleasure sim will like the cheese sim regardless of the fact that the cheese sim doesn't care about them.

The "furious" thing has me confused, too. I'm a very confused person. :P
The teen daughter of one of my sims is furious with her father and grandfather. They are not furious with her. They have done nothing wrong, either. The only thing I can think of is that she was cleaning up puddles in the bathroom where her dad and grandfather were in a lock-up and both pee'd on the floor. Could that be the reason they're on her shit list right now? Pardon the pun.
And the chemistry thing. OY. Another confusing situation. The same romance sim I mentioned above has a lightning bolt in his panel for his brother's wife. She has one for him, as well. If I have him "scope room" while she's in it, he'll say "Dayna is hot!". If she scopes room, she says "eh.". If I have her ask him "Do you like what you see?", he shows his approval, with the hearts swirling. If he asks her, she says "eh.". Poor guy just isn't impressing anybody, these days! (Coincidentally, he's the original sim that I uploaded for Ancient Sim- the one she was describing above, who was also having bad luck. He's hot, I tell you. Hot! Tell 'em, Ancient! lol) Anyway, they're both Gemini, and both romance. Both have lightening bolts for each other. Both meet the criteria for the other's turn ons. And they're both best friends. What the hell? Is it because she considers him family? He has the flirt options available for her, but she doesn't for him. She can give him a friendly hug and a family kiss. Yet she still swoons over him. I'll bet it does have to do with the fact that he's considered family, now that I think about it...

Yup, that'd be it if she's a neat Sim (I think more than 6 points). My friend was playing a dorm and every time she let her Sims go off and do their own thing, they would clean up a puddle and then go kick whoever's ass that left it. And if they lost the fight, they'd get even more furious and try to kick their asses again. They hardly got any work done because they were busy attacking everyone they lived with.
Brynne:
Yes, she's very neat. So that answers that! Thanks for the info.

Also, I'm going to hijack this a little bit with a question. Is "no lightning bolt" a rating in itself? That is, if you have a sim check out another sim and no lightning bolt appears, is this because something is broken, or just because they are indifferent to each other?
Yes that is what it means a crossed out lightening bolt means that they are repelled, no lightning bolt is neutral, one is some attraction, 2 is lots of attraction and 3 means they can't keep their hands off each other and if one of them is maried to somebody else and the spouse in the same room then you are in trouble.
