scope room?
Magicmoon:
Maybe ACR makes some changes in this area. But we are both using it, aren't we? I'm pretty sure my game used to work the other way.
I was kind of waiting for some hard rejections. I made one Sim bi (500/500). But later he married and I forgot all about the fact that he wasn't straight until the gay Sims kept spotting him in the crowd. But they don't spot anyone that is straight.
Alie:
I micromanaged a het couple into (what should've been) 3 bolts for each other, except one of them had been set as high gay by ACR. And he was hard-rejecting her all over the place until I realized what the problem was.
He would scope room and only find men, but check her out and he was farting hearts. AFAI remember, anyway.
So, this leads me to believe that for some reason, check sim out doesn't use gaydar and scope room does. I should run some tests for confirmation.

Gaydar = figuring out if the OTHER Sim is gay. Check Sim Out doesn't use gender preferences for either Sim, and Scope Room only uses the gender preference of the Sim doing the scoping, and not the scope-ees. (So, no gaydar, because the scoper doesn't know the preference of the hot Sim across the room, and gender preference doesn't cause rejections in an unmodified game anyway.)
Alie:
Right, I knew the definition of gaydar, I must've gotten confused with all the check outs I was running on both sims to try and figure out what the problem was at the time. Anyhow, I finished running my experiment, and based on the results, and Scope Room and Check Sim Out both use gender preferences for the active Sim.
I used six sims, three of each gender, one gay/bi/straight. They were all either Aries or Taurus, with the Aries being 56653 for personality and the Taurus being 55663. They all had family aspiration. Turn ons were set to makeup and costume makeup. All sims wore makeup and costume makeup.
Using ACR, I set sims A&B to het, C&D to gay, E&F to bi. Sims A, C, and E were female, sims B, D, and F were male.
Results:
Scope room and check sim out were the same.
A&B showed only each other as hot.
C showed all female sims. D showed all male sims.
E & F both showed all sims.
Therefore, when my female het sim A checked out same sex female gay sim C or female bi sim E, even though they have the exact same chemistry makeup as the male sim B, C and E, both female, showed up as not interesting. A just shook her head rather than having any X, though.
HOWEVER. Interestingly enough, the UI DOES have gaydar, as on the relationship panel, male bi sim F only showed hetero sim A, gay sim D, and bi sim E as three bolts, even though scope room showed ALL of the sims as glowy and F actually popped up with B as the sexiest sim there, but when you go to the relationship panel, no bolts at all.
akatonbo:
Hm. Well, anything that uses CHEMISTRY -- which is what the bolts in the relationship panel use -- could be taking gender preference into account, because it's two-way, and if you're looking at Sim A's relationship panel, and Sim A is a straight male, then he'd only show bolts for female Sims -- definitely using gender preference for him -- so if the calculation on the other side is also based on gender preference, then if one of those female Sims is gay, then the calculations done for her would only show female Sims, and so she wouldn't have any reaction to him on her side, meaning that the combination of their two attractions to each other would only use his attraction to her (hers to him never being calculated) and therefore not be high enough to make him show bolts...
The rest of it is a little odd. Perhaps I'll muck around with it myself. Do you have the romance mod and/or ACR?
