Not much of Sims code would every be considered common Knowledge.
I try not to quote Maxis code too much as few understand it, but here goes.

Every object in the Sims has data associated with it.
One of the bits of data is their outfit.
The attraction code performs checks like this.
stack obj's person data Current Outfit == Const G - Person Outfits:3 (1);
The code then sets a value - or + based on the outfit.

Now Person Outfit:3 is Naked for example. So while attraction may not be based on the exact outfit, it is based on what kind of clothing (or lack of it) the Sim being looked at has on.

Hope this helps.

This could be done, but would be better added to TwoJeffs code. He has all the base code in place and adding this would not be too hard. Building up a new "object" from scratch for this one feature would not be real hard but would take a while.

So this current outfit code must be what it checks when the sim screams at seeing a naked sim. I always thought they should wolf whistle instead sometimes!

Wow, I wouldn't've known about the clothing thing. I always thought the attraction happened only for romance sims too. My romance sims range in their personalities and some even wear fully covering clothing (though it's fancy clothes, so maybe that counts?)

Otherwise- It's a good mod. I'm about to download the bed so if anything happens with it I'll post in the other thread.

Will this set the "wrong" gender to 0 or just to barely over the attracted line like in the default?

Any chance you could allow for more extreme changes to reduce the number of clicks, or have absolute negatives; Hate Men, Hate Women, Hate Everyone; that only lower, not raise? Might make it slightly more useful for those who want to curb some actions.

I can do this, but understand I have searched the code very thoroughly, and every place that Maxis checks the gender preference all they do is check for > 0 or < 0. So for Maxis code +1 or –1 is no different than +1000 or –1000. Now my auto bed and some other mods do use other values, but still nothing very high. I am hoping that nightlife will use gender preference in a more realistic way.

I will look at adding in a way to alter the individual values in larger increments.

It's something that controls what your sim wants- guys or girls

Cool, I wish maxis had made it that gay sims can only flirt and fall in love with someone in their same gender, and straight sims to only fall in love with the opposite sex, thanks for this anyway!

I noticed that this says it's for the original game only. I downloaded this when I had my original game, then decided to try it out with NL and it works beautifully!

One thing I noticed is that even a couple of points will help a sim to make autonomous actions toward a sim to which they're attracted, which can be really helpful at times.

The famous "Waterbed of love" can be found here
Hmm as for what it does, well everything it does would take a while to describe. But the short, short version is that it allows sims to interact in bed complete autonomously. They relax, kiss, makeout, woohoo, etc, all on their own. It is quite a riot, but unless you are running a jealousy mod, but careful with it. With the default settings your sims will get wild with most anyone.

By the way, the gender adjuster mod should work just fine with Nightlife, but I am not flagging it (or any of my mods) as Nightlife ready until I can be absolutely positive. I am working my way through all of them and checking all the code as well as testing in game.

It does more than just let them play, it's a must for those seeking new friends...

Wander into the street, greet a passerby, head for the bed...

A short while later you have a new friend/lover, and your promotion is in the bag...

Excellent! I love it. Much easier than having to jump into SimsEP every time I make a new sim.

Thanks a big bunch for the mod/hack... Love it...! Now, I can make some more sims "asexual", right?

Can now turn some straight or gay sims in to Bi...

:moose:

What's the reality to you in the aspect of sexual preference? (just for my curiosity..., ignore this when not interested to answer... )

can you make a hack that allows you to choose the gender of a newborn baby?

Well it’s about time that we can have a preference, the unavoidable down side to this is that you choose what the sim's preference is where as in real life sexual preference is no choice at all, and we just are.
