Loving the fact that they specifically stated they will be talking more about the status of the upcoming customizable pronouns

That makes me super happy!

Yes, that one little word, customizeable, suggesting a fill-in-yourself dropbox, makes all the difference for me, too :)

(A little excourse: I thought german didn't have gender neutral pronouns, then I looked the matter up and found that we opted for the strangest neo pronouns ever: xier/xies/xiesem. Whoever thought that starting a word with x was a good idea probably never tried using it in a normally paced conversation. Another article mentioned that many noninary germans accept they/them, so that's what my sims will use.)

I just found out why I don’t have any friends. Time to have a word with my folks. ?

On a serious note, how is it awkward in German? In English “xier/xies/xiesem” would probably sound like “zzzzeer/ sneeze / SEIZE ‘EM!”
Would you not say something similar in German? Or do Germans pronounce “X” as “skjnskich3tkuvh?”

Happy to see that team Maxis pretty much confirmed that customizable pronouns are indeed coming to the sims 4. There’s a good chance it’ll be this year.
Although I probably won’t be moving away from using standard pronouns, their plan on how to implement this feature including all the surrounding technicalities gets me curious, so I’ll be watching the live stream to satisfy my inner geek boy. ?

I also got mighty excited by “You make the sims with Complex Sims” due to misreading it as Maxis introducing more complex sims e.g. more complex in behavior and personality. Then I learned it is in fact the name of a CC creator and everything went droopy poopy again. But a couple of new accessories or skin details are always welcome.

And sneak peeks… Well, who doesn’t like sneak peeks? I wonder how hairy those sneak peeks are going to be. Perhaps they will cover everything well below the hairline for a change.
