My big wish on the turn on/off system is to have more turn "slots", both for on and off.
This definitively gets us a bigger variety of attractions.
I'm thinking mainly on two different gategories, genetics and social.
For the first one, that are normally out of player's control, mainly:
1. Eyes's color.
2. Height (why damn ALL sims must have the same height?).
3. Skintones.
4. Voice.
For the second ones (on wich the player has control), mainly:
1. Skills.
2. Job/Career (or, money amount, LOL)
3. Hidden skills.
But I think it would be only a dream, pity.

I would like to add age to that list. I would really lie e.g. a young Adult sims would have an elder as a turn off and an adult sima could have a elder sim as a turn on.
I'm not sure about heights tho. since heights is controlled by a sims age. The only way to change it is with the cheat so I doubt maxis or any other modder would try to add that.

I think the prob with eye color and skin tone is the same as JM said. Custom content tends to be ambiguous. It kind of takes the meaning away--say your sim hates blue eyes yet they are in love with a blue eyed sim just because they have custom blue eyes. I do admit that it would add more options. I always have my sims have two of three wants--fit,make up,and custom hair. It applies to all Playable characters and not townies--so if a sim has two bolts for a townie--I take notice because it usually means with very little tinkering they will develope three bolts.

2. Height (why damn ALL sims must have the same height?).
Animations look quite strange when sims are two different heights. My knowledge of making animations and programming them is pretty sketchy, but it probably would have been too difficult/time-consuming/adding to game size to add the necessary animations, especially if the heights were a scale instead of predefined settings. |

Agree with that! The kids are so wierd when they are able to cook food! their animations are totally screwy, but obviously as good as the modder can make them!
As to age as a turn on/off, I thought grey as opposed to brown, blond etc. hair would cover that one!

I would like to see "finished college" and "permaplat" as turn ons/offs. That way, sims could be materialistic, or discerning about avoiding ambitious overacheivers. Younger sims might want to meet people who were more like themselves, while older sims might only want to meet successfull mates.

That is a really good idea--perfect for the wealth sims. |

I suppose the game could have made some adults stay at teen size, most animations seem to work with just that small height difference. |

I think a wide range of hobbies would also been a great idea for turn-offs/ons. Like Chess, Computers or any number of things as that plays a big role in relationships too imo.

Sims don't really have hobbies. Except for the Sport of Kings. Sims of all ages love the Sport of Kings.

Pescado, King, El Presidente, Grand High Poobah, The Most Awesome One . . . it's all about the same, really.
But that reminds me. Gotta load up the game to finish testing of uber expensive game categorized flamingo.

Returning to the hobbies mentioned earlier, you could have "Cheats at chess" as a turnon/off! (Turn on for Leos etc., turn off for serious Virgos!)

You could add quite a few based on the personality extremes.
Hmm... imagine the screwed up sims you could make.

 But so true of life! I mean, how many of us are turned on by a stud who goes from one bed to another as the mood takes him, but are also turned off by his faithlessness?
