More turn ons/offs
Ness:
I mainly stick with hair colour and then use things like hats, glasses, facial hair, makeup, etc. I don't use the clothing ones, I don't use cologne generally because it's just impossible to keep it on long enough - I generally use vampirism as a turn off, unless I want the particular sim to be repelled by someone else (or at least reduce their attraction to everything that moves) when I give them a hair colour turn off.
I've always tended to give my sims a lot of hats, glasses and things like that - makes them all have a bit of variety, and it helps now that the game will give you townies with hats, glasses, makeup... although, the number of turn ons/offs is very restrictive - I would love to see aliens in there, as well as educated sims (college graduates), maybe even private school... we could go on, but I guess most things have been listed... the different aspirations could create some interesting effects - like a family sim who is turned on by romance sims, but then our little sims could already be conflicted enough!
I do hope that this turns out to be something people can expand on, if not, I hope it gets expanded in further expansion packs.

Maxis already took this one into account by creating a matrix of how aspirations affect chemistry between two sims. It woulda been nice to have some user choice involved like what you're suggesting, but at least the way Maxis does it there's positives/neutrals/negatives for every possible combo of sims who interact with each other.
Ness:
that's what I was referring to...
with the effect of star sign and aspiration on attraction, it could be fun to create a sim who is turned on by that which also repluses them... Or maybe that's just my evil little mind thinking of new ways to torture my pixel people...
Ancient Sim:
I discovered that "swimwear" is satisfied if the Sim is naked, which is handy with crammyboy's mod, as all my outgoing Sims wander around nude anyway. You'll notice that Mrs C. will complain that someone is wearing swimwear when they're actually nude (when they're taking a shower, for instance). Whether it's intentional that the game can't distinguish between naked and swimwear, I don't know. Probably not.

I've generally been giving mine grey hair as a turn off because I get so tired of everyone fawning over the old farts (and my downtown has plenty of them too) or getting them as blind dates. Fat works as a turn off too unless a lot of sims you play are fat. The townies and npcs are pretty much regular fitness and I've never seen a player sim get a want to get fat, although that would be interesting. Cologne is another one I use for turn offs. Pretty much no sim is going to have it on unless I put it on them so it's a fairly useless turn on and wearing it serves no other purpose.
I use full face makeup ala Verona ville style as a turn off as well . Ive never seen any of my playable sims roll a want to wear costume make up,be fat or be stinky. so those work well for me I have seen them roll fears about being fat or stinky however. I use Vampirism on my most outgoings sims as they are the ones most likely to try to befriend a vampire. cologne is a good turn off as well and to stop the gypsy from bringing elder blind dates I have started using gray hair as a turn off for my free and single sims. my engaged sims I dont bother as much with I try and make sure they match features the other has for turn ons. I have brothers at Uni that are engaged to girls from their neighborhood they went steady with them as teens and were best friends as children so when they reached teens I matched the turn ons to the features each had. My Family Sim Bart Aming has black hair and is a fitness buff so his fiancee has turn ons that are Black hair and fitness turn off is fatness.Edaina Sabre is a family Sim that is engaged to Bart Aming his turn ons Black hair and Makeup which matches her features his turn off fatness. result three bolts for chemistry. Barts brother is a popularity sim who has brown hair his fiancee is a family sim with Black hair. he has 3 bolts for his fiancee 1 for his brothers fiancee. his fiancee has 3 for him and 1 for his brother. and daily and ltr is 100/100 for both couples
