3 or 4 lightening bolts
Regina:
Three bolts isn't as hard as one might figure, IF you create the sims for each other, and once in a while they'll be lucky and find another sim with which they're totally compatible.
As far as I can tell, the bolts are based on compatible aspirations, possibly compatible astrology signs and turn-ons. Say for example you create two family sims, make one with brown hair and glasses, then create their partner with a turn-on for brown hair and glasses, and create the first sim with turn-ons that match features the second sims have you're going to have three lightning bolts.
Often if you find sims with two lightning bolts for each other, you can bring them up to three by either changing their turn-ons to match the other sim or changing features about the other sim to match turn turn-ons. :) Of course that isn't going to work if their attraction is purely physical already, like my sims Burleigh and Ally. He's a money sim, she's a knowledge sim. His turn-ons are set to her features and her turn-ons are set to his, so the best they're ever going to get is two bolts. Oddly enough, though, I have another couple of sims, one knowledge and one money and they have three bolts for each other. I'm thinking in these two cases having or lacking that third bolt may be a case of their astrology signs.

Ok so.. I thought that you got a lightining bolt for each of the follwing:
one for matching aspirations
one for matching zodiac signs
one for matching turn-ons (only 1 match needed)
So you get 3 bolts if all of these aspects match. Isn't this right?
Here a doubt i have:
Are lightning bolts the same for 2 sims? i mean, if i have a sim with 2 LB for another sim, will that sim also have 2 LB with my sim? or LB is not necessaryly the same amount for both sims?

I have a pair of sims that I married b4 NL and when I got NL without changing any turn ons or offs, they had three, pretty good match on my part, if i do say so myself.

As far as I can tell, that's pretty much the way it works. I don't have the strategy guide so kind of have to make guesses and sometimes I guess wrong. ;)
Yes--it seems to me that the two sims in question will have the same amount of lightning bolts. Just as an example, I had a sim go to a Downtown lot last evening and check out another sim. He thought she was ultimately hot, so I had him ask her if she liked what she saw. She did the old, 'Oh my gosh I think I'm gonna throw up!' thing and when I checked his relationship bar the lightning bolt had a red X through it. So even though he thought she was great, there was negative chemistry between them.
linolino:
:D HA HAAAA HAHAHAHAHAH, It just hilarious that "Oh my god i tihnk im gonna throw up" animation!!! and all those little red X flying around.. poor male sim of yours... hahahah...
Now, back to the topic, i don't know if i understood what you said. You mean that the male sim had some LB on the womans portrait, but then after asking her if she liked what she was seeing, a red X appeard over th LB?
Or the red X was always there?
