Pronouns: They/Them
Where: Everywhere after quitting and loading the save file, before entering CAS.
To try out this update, I created a Sim who uses they/them pronouns. I played with them and their partner for a while, and everything was fine.
Then I quit the game to take a break, and when I loaded the save file later that night, the game consistently referred to them as he/him, even in strings that had gendered them correctly previously. For example, the 9:22 PM screenshot, which had referred to them as they before.
I was confused, so I went to CAS to see if their pronouns had somehow been changed. Nope, still there (screenshot timestamp: 9:30). So I left CAS without changing anything, and then after that the game started gendering them correctly (see 9:52 PM screenshot, which also contains grammatical errors).
When I quit the game that night and came back to it in the morning, the same thing happened. The game referred to Keller as he until I looked at them in CAS, when the game corrected itself.
Same issue as TheSmileyFisch, RaspberryGelato, and jul010101 are talking about; hopefully my screenshots and details can help.
My sim uses they/them pronouns.
When they have a scientific breakthrough (scientist career), the message uses 'his' instead of 'their'. (It was same with their first breakthrough.)

More issues yay
My sim uses she/her pronouns but random parts of the game keep applying he/him pronouns. Most of these are just work/school pop ups but one is from exploring the Forgotten Grotto.
- Which pronouns are you using? - He/They via custom pronouns
- Where are they not being applied? - work notification
- Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing?

My sim using they/them pronouns just started a new job in the Politian career. The notification says "They starts Monday...", when it should say "They start Monday...". Just something I've noticed! Thanks.
- Custom pronouns, zie/hir
- The notification for scientist breakthroughs reads "his sixth breakthrough" instead of "hir sixth breakthrough"
Pronouns: they/them
Situation not applied (game uses he/him instead): notification that my sim has earned money on their day off.
Screenshot attached.
