No fear that it won't work because of EP's, because apple of the eye is already a standard in the first one.

Thanks for the confirmation of that -apix-. I wasn't sure since I had gotten all the EPs up to Pets before I ever played for the first time.

I'm gonna download this one-I need something to keep all those romance sims straight; it's so confusing figuring out who's "romancing who" on my lots and who need to meet more people.
Thanks for the fun!

I love the idea, and I have a suggestion! You could have the option to show the gender preference of all the Sims on the lot (and a separate option to show the gender preference of the Sim clicking on the apple).

Fantastic idea Higgins, I hadn't thought of that particular bit of info yet and it works in perfectly for an update I am already working on. The new update was going to have a dynamic menu similar to the "Find Sim" menu... but it gives the full relationship info (i.e. theirs for you, and yours for them) for the sim you select in the menu. Your gender preference would work perfectly for that.

I am not sure if I should include that for the "Show Sims On Lot" option. The problem is that the larger the dialog is, the less you can fit on a screen at once. The problem is, if there are alot of sims and the dialogs are too large, the only ones you would get a good look at is the last few. There is just way too much relationship relevant info that can be shared to try to do it en masse like that. So I think for now you will be able to get that info in the next update, but on a sim-by-sim basis.

EDIT: On second thought, I think a couple other features are in order:

1) show the 3 most compatible sims on the lot (by gender preference) with the lowest total relationship toward your sim.

2) show the three most compatible with the highest relationship toward your sim.

This might be biting off more than I can chew since I will have to come up with my own way of determining what constitutes higher and lower relationship. If this feature doesn't make it in the next update, I will work on it for the one after that.

Sounds really useful - a useful addition should be to show the zodiac/likes/dislikes of a selected sim... "Quick, I gotta go change into formal/swimsuit/underwear, but not use cologne" etc.etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mac. I will look into the feasibility of that. If I can manage it I will include that feature in the future. :D

Your first mod! How cool. It's always great to see a new addition to the ranks of sim modders. Thanks for making this nifty object.

I've made some mods for The Sims 1 -- yes, The Sims ONE :-) -- which you can find at http://corylea.com/Sims1ModsByCorylea.html

I took a forced sabbatical from the game and modding for while. Just tried to use it for the first time since Bon Voyage and got a few errors. Will try to get those fixed.

Sorry I didn't answer this sooner.
