A new Category for Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs has been brought by a modder!

It’s only been a couple of hours since the latest Expansion Pack came out, and modders are already deep in exploring new Sims 4 Lovestruck Mod options and how they can deepen the existing gameplay.

I was personally excited to hear about the return of the Attraction system with the new Pack. However, as someone who’s been playing the game since The Sims 2 days I was left a bit disappointed to know that there aren’t any Physical Features included in the Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs menu.

Some might argue that these attraction features haven’t been included in The Sims 4 due to the sensitive nature of superficial attraction these turn-ons bring. Still, what if I wanted to create superficial Sims myself?

The same sentiment was shared by a modder who brought these attraction values to life with a new Sims 4 Lovestruck Mod. Giving more variety in storytelling and gameplay for your dating Sim experience.

The Sims 4 Physical Features Attraction Mod

Created by modder and creator Down in Simsland, The Sims 4 Physical Features Attraction Mod covers new turn-ons and turn-offs that depend on your Sim’s physical attributes. Those include body hair, weight, piercings, makeup, eye color and tattoos.

The Physical Features attraction category replaces the Outfit Color preferences – meaning that you’ll have to sacrifice the latter in order to enjoy these new turn-ons and turn-offs. There’s some complexity to this Mod that I was surprised to see – such as facial hair not accounting just any from mentioned category. Five o’clock stubble won’t catch another Sim’s attention unless they decide to have a fuller facial hair look!

Here’s what the creator of this Mod had to share about how this Sims 4 Lovestruck Mod functions:

As this can be a rather sensitive topic, I fully understand why it wasn’t included by default with the pack, and I think it was the right decision. But since I like to create characters with a wide range of personalities, I needed them for narrative reasons (e.g. for more superficial characters who would have those kinds of preferences).

I replaced the Outfit Color preferences, as I know many of you won’t use them, to create those traits:

• Body Types: 4 preferences that correspond to a different combinations of the two fitness sliders
• Facial Hair: the facial hair that are categorized ad length 1 (out of 3) are not considered for this one. If your sim has only a few hairs on the chin, it’s out of the scope
• Body Hair: all levels of back hair, level 2 & 3 of chest hair, level 3 of arm of leg hair only. Only one item required.
• Make-Up: two items of make-up at least (I didn’t include eyelashes, as I know it will be used idependently of make-up)
• Eye Color: blue, green or brown eyes. Unnatural eye colors are not included.
• Tattoos & Piercings: one item required, of course, earrings don’t count as piercings in this case.

At the moment, everything is translated in english, french, spanish and portugese. If you can help me with other translations, feel free to contact me, I can include that in a next release!
