attractiveness system in sims 2 were built on likes and dislikes
your sims had two things they like such as hair color and makeup and one dislike such as people who don't bath
sims 3 was based on how many skills your sims have if they were skilled everyone liked them
I mean who doesn't like someone with a lot of skills?
I think sims in sims 4 attractiveness system should be based on traits and likes and dislikes
as well as hobbies such as playing an instrument sims could like other sims who play guitar
or like someone they have something in common with like a sim who likes to cook ether because they like to eat such as
a foodie or gluten or because they like cooking
I would also like confess to cheating back and real consequences for doing so
I would love to hear what you guys think and what you want in the future.

It would be neat if this was randomised for born in game sims (along with sexual/romantic orientation) so that you can just go where the game takes you and be guided by your sim (of course with the option to edit your sim's preferences/orientation for those who have set preferences in mind for their sim). Although maybe I wouldn't want it to be totally random - perhaps it should be somewhat based on what traits your sim has- good sims are more likely to find goodness attractive in other sims? Though, having said that, I quite like the idea of a good sim who is secretly attracted to evil sims.
Or perhaps there could just be a 'randomise' button that you could press in order to have the game select random attributes etc for your sim to be attracted to.

More or less the same for me.
I'd want physical traits to be relatively minor in the long run. When your sim is out and about, they won't autonomously flirt with a sim who doesn't at least have one physical characteristic they like, and NPC's won't react to your sim's flirty introduction unless you have at least one trait they like. Once your sim gets to know another sim, it should be based on other traits/skills/etc.
Also, to minimize body shaming, body type shouldn't be on the list. And maybe not weight (fitness I'm iffy on.) Just Hair color, eye color... and maybe facial and body hair as a Yes/No.
i want to have sims that find vlad hissing hot and sims that simply cannot resist Gregs fluffy fur and growls
but also sims that would find both very ew
and option to find humans very ew as well
id also like to choose traits sims like or dislike in other sims
like maybe your sim could never ever fall for a slob or maybe they cannot stand cheerful sims or something

Mechanically it should make romance harder when the sim isn't attracted to the target sim. Neighborhood stories should also take attraction into account when coupling sims up (I have NS off, so I have no idea if it even does couple up sims.) For players who value surprises attraction could also help them choose partners for their sims, maybe some they wouldn't have considered otherwise.
I'd advise against choosing only two turn-ons and one turn off (Sims 2 style). I used to play with Wonderful Whims (the predecessor mod actually) and only chose four attractive elements for my sim, leading to him going from not being attracted to a simgirl at all to absolutely falling for her when he saw her in her gymn clothes because one of the turn ons was the color green.
well your sim would get a moodlet or something if they find a sim attractive and would be more likely to flirt with them
or less likely if not this would be most useful for simmers who want to have there sim pick out someone they like
it could also make other sims more interested in your sim if there really skilled, gifted, famous, good or if there so inclined evil
@ScarletSimEater it would also make the sims feel more alive
I'm not saying it should only have three like sims 2 in fact I would want way more
it was more of a run down for those who never played sims 2 and 3 @EnkiSchmidt
like a sim that isn't attracted to anyone, except for their good/best friend because of a few factors like being the right gender, complimenting traits, and a high enough relationship bar. And this could be done in a way that compliments the sexual/romantic orientation update as well as senitments.
Something like "this sim only experiences romantic attraction/wants to woohoo when they have a strong relationship to another- yes or no" which would take into account the options we're already getting. And the strong relationship doesn't have to mean a positive one either, imagine the chaos of a sim suddenly finding their mortal enemy hot?
I mean, sure, I generally play my sims as double demi anyway...but having it be a gameplay function would be nice...
But I want to take it a step further and have primary and secondary points of attraction. Set the system up so we can say this particular turn on is more important and stronger than another. Don't limit it to just a couple of slots in the two tiers, or more even. Have like 3-5 different points of attraction in each tier and weight them. Primary points are twice as strong as secondary. You could even weight them within that tier. Have the first primary carry more importance than the third or fifth. Same for the secondary points.
I'm having a hard time tonight getting my mind focused because I'm really tired. After a good night's sleep I'm sure I can come up with more and better ideas. But this is a start.
You get rid of it by deleting it from your mods folder.
No, it isn't released by EA. The only way it could be in your game is if you added it to your mods folder.
Are you using WonderfulWhims? I use it and I’ve seen the same thing. It doesn’t hurt their relationship from my experience. My favorite couple are head over heels in love and they think the other is basic looking. I only used WW because it allowed me to define each sims sexual orientation. Now all I use it for is a few cheats that are built in.
My biggest wish though, and I know this won't happen in sims 4 but I still have hopes for sims 5, is that relationship building was one sided. Just because my sim is in love with someone doesn't mean that they are in love too. Having crushes or unrequited romance would be fantastic gameplay.
Agreed on all.

Nope. I do not have that mod because I have the Wicked one.

What mod am I deleting?
Both of those mods are so closely related that’s still the likely culprit. It’s probably a conflict with another mod. I haven’t seen any negative effects on relationships for what it’s worth. My couple who finds each other basic looking is every bit as passionate as the couples who find each other very attractive. They still drop everything just to give their spouse a kiss, a hug, or do some sort of romantic social.
We are not actually supposed to mention that mod on the forum as it changes the game's age rating.
If I were you I would go back and read the documentation for the mod as you may be able to turn off aspects you dislike. If not, you'll have to decide if you're willing to put up with the parts you dislike to have the parts you want.
