New BV Turn ons/offs
KatEnigma:
I don't know why it should mean Romance Sims are any harder. They would be the type most likely to be attracted on purely physical things, instead of whether or not a Sim is a good provider. ;) So let the Romance Sims go after the thin blondes and they will still have just an easy job of finding 2 and 3 bolters!

ACR does use the bolts, but it also uses personalities and other stuff.
So the bolts to at least serve some purpose, but it's good to know that ACR will take everything else into account. I must say, I am not concerned about the change in the bolts. I am happy that my sims don't have 8 sims who they have 3 bolts for. Because as you said, they can get annoying. Especially when you want to keep them from 7 of those 8 three bolt sims. :)

That's a great idea! Thanks Kat!

the attraction system DOES take into account personality already, IIRC. Turn ons and turn offs were a minor part of the overall attraction system
Sleepycat:
I recall reading in the guide that the turn ons/offs matter more now, or atleast got the impression they tweaked them...
ahh here it is, from the guide

Sims are attracted to one another for myriad reasons, but each Sims's personal Turn ons and Turn Offs play a very significant role. In fact, maximum attraction is impossible without at least one Turn On.
not sure if it really is any different but frankly I'll be glad if all my sims aren't attracted to 3/4 of the sims in the hood *laughs*
- yes personality does count already with bolts

Except that ironically in a vanilla game, a romance sim is better off with the hard worker or one of the skill turn ons. Due to the bilateral nature of bolts and the ease of building sim stats, that's free attraction with everyone. Meanwhile, hair color (especially custom or recessive) will not be shared by a majority of the population.
Family sims, meanwhile, are best saddled with very specific turn ons if you expect them to be faithful. Stick them with an easy-build one and they'll revert to their standard state where producing babies is less important than who they're producing the babies with.
