Avatars

If we must have a generic avatar then may we at least have some Sims 3 ones, please?

I do believe, and feel its unfair to keep reverting to a male silhouette every time there's an update, when in my profile settings I am asked the question of my preferred pronouns to which I've answered something female. The silhouette also seems to imply a young male, possibly a child, when that could be inappropriate given there'll be an age limit for Australians soon. So could you also please address that?

  • DivinylsFan as you already noticed and puzzleaddict highlighted, there's an annoying bug we are dealing with.
    Due to caching issues, the avatars sometimes seemingly get reset, and currently the only fix is a server cache clear and restart.
    We are waiting for engineering to fix the underlying issue so that this doesn't happen again.

    Of note for your original point is that we are actually working on replacing the avatars available now with a mechanism for users to pick their own custom avatars in the future. It's still a bit out, but it's coming.
