How to give Zodiac Signs to Sims
Four ways to add zodiac signs to Sims:
1) Auto-assign Zodiac Signs based on Seasons/ randomly when a Newborn Baby aging up to an Infant
2) Assign Zodiac Signs based on a Sim's personality (vary greatly) (located in Action menu, Child+)
3) Pick Zodiac Signs in GAMEPLAY mode (located in Action menu, All Ages)
4) Manually Add Zodiac Sign in CAS mode with Addon (Child+)
When you click on Randomize Likes and Dislikes in CAS mode, it will generate one Zodiac Sign. It won't be saved after you exit CAS mode if you have already picked Zodiac Sign for your Sim.
With chingyu_addon_ZodiacSignAutoSwitchVersion installed, it will auto-turn the infant/toddler version into the child+ version when a Toddler Sim aging up to a Child.
Social Interactions
Sims with any of the Zodiac Signs can "Ask About Zodiac Signs". Located in Friendly ---> Small Talk. Actor Sim will learn about Target Sim's Zodiac Sign.
Sims with any of the Zodiac Signs can "Enthuse About Zodiac Signs". Located in Friendly ---> Interest. Target Sim will learn about Actor Sim's Zodiac Sign.

Changelogs
Aug 19, 2023:
Added Zodiac Personality Buffs. Sims now get occasional low-intensity +1 moodlets relating to zodiac personality. (Only available to Child+ Sims & when Sims are not in very negative moods)
To avoid Sims not being able to be assigned with Zodiac Signs when playing a vanilla game, the additional Infant/ Toddler version (in the main module) now are only given as GAMEPLAY traits and will not be impacted by the !chingyu_addon_ZodiacAvailableInCAS.
With chingyu_addon_ZodiacSignAutoSwitchVersion installed, it will auto-convert the infant/toddler version into the child+ version when a Toddler Sim aging up to a Child.
Please notice using addon_ZodiacAvailableInCAS will now take up a personality traits slot (out of six default personality traits for adult Sims if not using mods to give more personality traits slots.) Without the addon, zodiac signs are by default GAMEPLAY traits that won't take up a personality traits slot and won't display in other Sims' info panels.
Aug 17, 2023:
After some more testing, I found that the signs cannot appear in the Sim panel only with tags of personality traits in SimData if they are not previously saved as personality traits on clean saves (which can only appear in my older saves). Therefore, I have to edit them and make them actual personality traits in !chingyu_addon_ZodiacAvailableInCAS and keep them as gameplay traits (Not visible in the Sim panel) in the main modules. Please notice that using the addon will take up a personality traits slot (out of six default personality traits for adult Sims if not using mods to give more personality traits slots.)
This is a reminder and temporary hotfix of this issue. I'm working on an update to make the two versions not override each other so that it won't prevent traits from adding to infants. (Infants can only have one personality trait so the addon makes them either choose the sign or an actual personality trait).
