It takes just a few seconds to start making a good impression, but it can take a while to impress someone with your personality.
Good looks, proper manners, appearing optimistic, and being respectful isn’t what you focus on when trying to build chemistry.
Impressing someone with your personality goes a lot deeper, and typically requires a level of compatibility.
Establishing a relationship doesn’t depend on compatibility, but it certainly helps to speed up the process and keep the relationship stronger.
Personality Archetypes
Although people’s personality matures with time, it stays fairly consistent, and with that in mind, every Sim is assigned one or two Personality Archetypes that match their traits. These personality archetypes identify who Sims really are, but it doesn’t force them to be seen as such.
Matching Personality Archetypes help Sims to determine if they are compatible and allow to impress with their similar view of the world. Appearing as compatible allows building chemistry, which subsequently allows to impress and instantly boost the relationship.
