However, you can set Likes and Dislikes completely separately and aren&rsquo;t constrained by other aspects of their personality.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-792635\"><\/p>\n<p>Who says a musclebound body building bro can&rsquo;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&rsquo;s up to you whether you use the new system to double down on your Sims&rsquo; existing personalities or give them some unexpected new depths.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, a mixed approach is always good. You can set up to 20 Likes and Dislikes total per Sim, so you&rsquo;ve got the freedom to set a tone while still throwing in the odd curveball.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"section2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Likes and Dislikes: Color<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>There are 11 colours to choose from as your Sims&rsquo; likes and dislikes. As you might expect, they are: black, white, brown, grey, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-792603\"><\/p>\n<p>A Sim&rsquo;s liked and disliked colours impact on how they will respond to a renovation in Dream Home Decorator.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"section3\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Likes and Dislikes: Music<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>Options for musical preferences are based on the in-game radio stations. Which of these you have access to will depend on what add-on content you have installed. Even if you only own the base game, however, you&rsquo;ll have 13 types of music to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-792609\"><\/p>\n<p>Any radio station from a pack you own that can be played on an ordinary stereo can be liked or disliked.

Exactly what these are will depend on the add-on content you have installed. Even if you only own the base game, you should have 17 Hobbies &amp; Skills available.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-792610\"><\/p>\n<p>Note that not all of the skills in the game and its add-ons are in this category, and it&rsquo;s not obvious what the reasons are behind the inclusions and omissions.

It&rsquo;s down and to the right of the Aspiration tab, and should appear as a <strong>?<\/strong> inside a hexagon if your Sim doesn&rsquo;t have any Likes or Dislikes yet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-792623\"><\/p>\n<p>Once you set at least one Like or Dislike, the icon will change, and you can hover over it to see a list of all that Sim&rsquo;s Likes and Dislikes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-792611\"><\/p>\n<p>You can set Likes and Dislikes for Sims who are Children and older.<\/p>\n<p>Likes and Dislikes don&rsquo;t appear to auto-populate for unplayed characters, unless you select a Sim to be your client in Dream Home Decorator. This means that pre-made Sims, and Sims in saves you started before the update, won&rsquo;t have any Likes and Dislikes until you set them yourself.<\/p>\n<p>During gameplay, Likes and Dislikes are now displayed under the <strong>Simology<\/strong> panel just beneath Traits. (Incidentally, the new update promotes Traits back to the top of the panel, after successive new Simology features had pushed them midway down the list. I for one am very happy to see Traits back at the top where they belong.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-792619\"><\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s also a handy new <strong>Enter Create-a-Sim<\/strong> button on the panel. You can click this at any time in-game to go to a limited version of CAS, like the one you get when your Sim changes their appearance using a mirror or dresser. You can&rsquo;t change a Sim&rsquo;s basic info or genetics here, but you can alter their appearance and their Likes and Dislikes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-792620\"><\/p>\n<p>If a Sim practices a hobby\/skill activity they&rsquo;re indifferent to for a few in-game hours, it can eventually effect their Likes and Dislikes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/the-sims-4-likes-and-dislikes-whats-new-in-the-latest-base-game-update-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-792621\"><\/p>\n<p>If they&rsquo;re in a positive emotion while they participate, after a while you&rsquo;ll be given the option to add to their Likes.
