More turn ons/offs
Andygal:
I use full face makeup, stink and fatness as turn offs. Sometimes I use vampirism as a turn off as well and facial hair because I myself hate guys with facial hair (well heavy facial hair anyway)
Regina:
I'm finding myself falling into the same trap as almost everyone here, using the same things for turn-offs. In my case those would be vampirism, cologne, stink and occasionally gray hair. I absolutely will not make fatness a turn-off for any of my sims because fat people are discriminated against enough already, but that's a whole other rant all together.
Unfortunately, though, if I want a sim to be extra-attracted to a sim with freckles, we're stuck with the old full-face make-up which means that sim's going to be attracted to the one wearing the headband, the geisha girl make-up or what have you. It makes things pretty bizarre.

When you consider that you can choose only ONE turn-off, and the variety is not so great, from what I hear, then yes.
I would choose fatness as a turn-off, because like in real life, fatness means LAZINESS, and laziness is something I cannot abide in real people, let alone sims! It's not the fatness itself that repulses me, but what it signifies in its bearer. Turn-ons and turn-offs throughout the ages have done exactly the same thing: In ancient times, one who was fat was wealthy and could afford to eat. This was thus considered attractive to be somewhat plump. Conversely, in the Victorian era, pale skin was considered a turn-on due to the fact that it signified that its bearer was wealthier and could be indoors all day rather than laboring in the sun. Nowadays, the opposite is true: A tan tends to signify someone who can afford to lie around in the sun all day instead of working as an office drone. So when I think about a turn-on or a turn-off, I think about it in terms of what this characteristic means in its bearer.
Incidentally, a male with beards as a turn on is either a homosexual, a freak, or both.
Gray hair is definitely one of Dina Caliente's things, though. She seems to have a thing for old men who will shortly keel over and die....

we really need more realistic turn ons and turn off's. like negligee's as a turn on or off some guys and girls get turned on if their significant other is wearing sexy pajama's . the swim wear thing I think is stupid as is the undies thing when it's an elder especially with the maxis made undies for elders. those Undies are Ugly and If I were an Elder I would tell Hubby to keep his clothes on if his undies looked like that. how many of us would actually buy Undies that resembled Maxis undies? if we were all elders. I wouldnt that's for sure! the custom undies for adults I could see my self buying but I wouldnt buy the maxis made undies

Hmmm. So you're saying my mom who got up at 6 a.m. every morning of the world, had her housework done by 10 or 11 a.m. (and this woman was completely fanatical when it came to housework--everything had to be spotless), then was at one of her half-dozen or so housecleaning jobs (and she cleaned for the rich and famous in our area) or out on her Avon route until it was time to come home and fix dinner, and if it was summer or harvest season was either out in the garden all evening or in the kitchen canning, or during the off-season was doing the 'winter cleaning', then generally made it to bed by midnight or so was lazy? ROFLOL! My mom worked harder than any one person I have ever known and never in her adult life weighed less than 180 pounds! ROFLOL!!
Nope--fat doesn't always mean lazy. It often times means the body doesn't properly metabolize the food that's put in it--mainly sugars. I'm not saying the world isn't full of fat AND lazy people, but they don't always walk hand-in-hand. :)
