He's a very odd Popularity Sim though and always has been. He's not shy but never showed much interest in dating when he was a teen so I'm left to conclude he's a bit of a prude. It's funny how you start noticing behaviours that fit in with the personalities you've thought up for them in your head but that's definitely happened with James.<br /><br />He's a bit of a contradiction, our James!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-90184302778510777942010-02-17T08:20:34.114+11:002010-02-17T08:20:34.114+11:00Oops, sorry, I just saw where you already said Ana...Oops, sorry, I just saw where you already said Ana and Emil have the massive attraction bonus.

They are very straightlaced but although they don't seem like they'd go well together, they are going on 45 years and sometimes it seems the physical part holds their marriage together (too much information, lol). They definitely have their own "weird idea" and are sticking with it too.<br /><br />I was also surprised Victoria and Finn didn't make it.<br /><br />I also like Luc and Asha because they've persevered through so much, and Max and Zaria, because they are a surprise. Then again, James is sort of quirky and interesting, isn't he, with being such the prude, then living together with her for 14 years before proposing. Is he a knowledge sim?<br /><br />213 is insane! They don't have a massive attraction bonus in there?!

I knew they were 3 bolts but I figured it would have to be on the low side, seeing Family and Fortune are not usually a great match and there's no romance bonus on either side. I was happy to see both those couples make it up there too though!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-86714636281188645502010-02-16T08:31:12.725+11:002010-02-16T08:31:12.725+11:00I LOLed at the description for Anna and Emil! :D I...I LOLed at the description for Anna and Emil! :D I was surprised to see them at the top of the list, but I guess it works for them, lol. <br /><br />Aw, I was happy to see Olivia and Steve, and Cordy and Eliot on the list!Shanahttp://pinehollow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-41008762593893155992010-02-15T07:01:20.064+11:002010-02-15T07:01:20.064+11:00Thanks everybody!
Maisie, these are just the base...Thanks everybody!<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, these are just the base scores. For example, Anna and Emil's total score is much higher - it's something like 318!<br /><br />Julian and Collette are 2 bolts and are at #27 with an attraction score of 70. <br /><br /><b>Laura</b>, well, it's really only Megan who's straight-laced. Trent is pretty laid-back. But you know, it's always the ones you least suspect!<br /><br />Charlton and Aphrodite definitely make good looking elders! That pic is an outtake from the family portrait last round. I tried to use game play pictures mostly but I couldn't resist that one!<br /><br />LOL, no, Max and Zaria aren't married - you know I would have made a huge deal about that. I love a wedding as much as you guys do! Zaria has never spun up the want and Max is terrified of it, pretty much all the time. If she ever spins up the want (or if he does, but it seems unlikely), they'll get hitched.<br /><br />I didn't notice that Grilled Cheese thing though - wow! Maybe I should temporarily change Anna and Emil to Grilled Cheese with a Romance secondary with Massive Attraction, just to see how high it'll go!<br /><br /><b>Mao</b>, once I figured what the hell the number <i>meant</i>, I became a bit addicted to checking it! You can arrange the relationships panel by bolts but it orders them by total score, as opposed to the base attraction score. When figuring out matches, I prefer to use the base score.<br /><br />You are quite right about chemistry vs. true love! But hey, they seem happy!<br /><br />I always smile/sigh thinking about Mina and Pascal. I've never observed anything like this with a Romance Sim before. Lake started flirting with other women before Ottilie's body was even cold (one of them was Mina, actually!) and it didn't take him long to bring Kendal to his bedroom either. There was something special with Mina and Pascal, it seems!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-25827631207294759172010-02-15T03:06:12.677+11:002010-02-15T03:06:12.677+11:00I feel like such a slacker, I just go by bolts/wan...I feel like such a slacker, I just go by bolts/wants/etc and don't usually check the numbers, LOL! I always forget that you can!<br /><br />Emil and Anna having the highest cracks me up on so many levels! Chemistry does not always equal true love. ;) For TS2 is always seems to be a physical thing, LOL!<br /><br />Pascal and Mina at number 2! Awww, that makes me sad. :( Pascal is gone, but it's sweet that Mina misses him.Maohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055085789427987065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-13346734317050629762010-02-14T16:54:58.575+11:002010-02-14T16:54:58.575+11:00This was a lot of fun!!!
I was a little surprised...This was a lot of fun!!!<br /><br />I was a little surprised at Trent and Megan. That's a pretty darn high score for as straitlaced as they are :)<br /><br />I don't know why, but I find Charlton and Aphrodite just the most good-looking little elder couple ever, lol!<br /><br />I think I expected all of your top couples, from the notes you've given us before. I was surprised to find out that Max and Zaria never got married though! What's up with that??? You know we love a wedding around here! ;)<br /><br />Wow, Emil and Anna, that's huge! They never cease to amuse though!<br /><br />Just a random thing I noticed on those chemistry charts, did you see that two grilled cheese Sims would bank a hot 145 points just for being together? LOL! There's one way to get high natural chemistry :) <br /><br />Of course, I don't notice many people playing cheese Sims since it's kind of silly. I know I don't, lol!<br /><br />I'm glad you did this! It was fun! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990333808465359314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-58121007857365634292010-02-14T16:33:58.455+11:002010-02-14T16:33:58.455+11:00Are these their total scores with the attraction p...Are these their total scores with the attraction plus relationship bonus or just their base scores? <br /><br />I'm surprised that Finn and Victoria didn't make the cut.

Riverdale, nope, Finn and Victor...Thanks everyone!<br /><br /><b>Riverdale</b>, nope, Finn and Victoria aren't in the Top 20. Because I'm a nerd and actually kept a complete list, I can tell you that they weren't far off - they're at #23 and they are the highest two bolters in my game. Three bolts starts at either 90 or 91 and their score is 85.<br /><br /><b>Sari</b>, good memory! Finn and Victoria are very cute but no super high chemistry there. It's a lot higher than it used to be. Sometime in their mid teens, I adjusted their turn-ons to boost them from 1 bolt to 2. I figured them for the kind of couple whose attraction might get stronger as they went along.<br /><br />I just did a quick calculation using the charts at <a href="http://drupal.cyjon.net/node/86" rel="nofollow">Cyjon's</a> and it looks like you could theoretically get a score of over 200 without the romance bonus but everything would have to align. Turn ons, personality (they'd need identical personalities or pretty close to it), zodiac and aspiration. But Anna and Emil both have the Massive Attraction benefit, as does Mina and Pascal had it too.<br /><br /><b>Lunar</b>, ha, yeah, the cheating probably keeps things fresh for them! LOL. I've always been aware of their attraction score so I knew Emil and Anna would top it but most of the rest of the countdown was a surprise to me, though I was pretty sure Luc and Asha and Zaria and Max would be up there in the Top 5. <br /><br />It's probably quite fortunate for Nick that Mina doesn't have much interest in romance any more. I don't think the poor kid could take it if she started dating!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-61335440235516973152010-02-14T12:14:54.682+11:002010-02-14T12:14:54.682+11:00Uhm yeah!

Well, I guess you're right, plus you know the whole both being able to cheat probably helps keep things spicy.<br /><br />Yeah, no Victoria or Finn!

But then I remember you've said that they don't have a very high chemistry. They are definitely the <i>cutest</i> couple in Sullivan.<br /><br />I don't think any of my couples have an attraction score over 200!!! But is that due to the aspiration benefits? Can it be that hight "naturally"?<br /><br />Anyways, this was fun to read!Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475614188928695076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-75285268394239788802010-02-14T10:21:45.061+11:002010-02-14T10:21:45.061+11:00Did I miss Victoria and Finn?
