Options for liked and disliked hobbies and skills are drawn directly from the skills you have available in game. However, listening or dancing to disliked music will grant a Tense moodlet, and the Sim's fun need will go down instead of increasing.

Listening or dancing to liked music will give a Sim a stronger Happy moodlet than the base for those activities, and their fun need will increase much faster. The only ones your Sims can't express a preference for are the Talk Radio station from City Living (since it doesn't play music) the skill-locked DJ stations from Get Together and the item-locked DJ R-3X Stereo station from Journey to Batuu.

Even if you only own the base game, however, you'll have 13 types of music to choose from.Īny radio station from a pack you own that can be played on an ordinary stereo can be liked or disliked. Which of these you have access to will depend on what add-on content you have installed. Options for musical preferences are based on the in-game radio stations. As you might expect, they are: black, white, brown, grey, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink.Ī Sim's liked and disliked colours impact on how they will respond to a renovation in Dream Home Decorator. There are 11 colours to choose from as your Sims' likes and dislikes. You can set up to 20 Likes and Dislikes total per Sim, so you've got the freedom to set a tone while still throwing in the odd curveball. Of course, a mixed approach is always good.

Who says a musclebound body building bro can't love pink clothes and Queen Anne furniture? Or maybe that upstanding well-behaved member of society winds down by playing elaborate pranks on their enemies? How about a dyed-in-the-wool Snob who just really likes to listen to cheesy Christmas music all year round? It's up to you whether you use the new system to double down on your Sims' existing personalities or give them some unexpected new depths. However, you can set Likes and Dislikes completely separately and aren't constrained by other aspects of their personality. You can use Likes and Dislikes to complement a Sim's Aspiration and Traits in determining their personality. Likes and Dislikes determine a Sim's preferences across a few different genres: Color, Music, Hobbies & Skills, and (if you have Dream Home Decorator installed) Decor. What are Likes and Dislikes in The Sims 4?
