Misgendering
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Steam-PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.88.228.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Realm of Magic, and Vampires
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm using They/Them pronouns and I'm being misgendered constantly. Firstly I decided to make them a criminal and their first position at the job was "Tough Gal." When they got married they were referred to as a "Wife.". Also when I was making them and trying to change relationships with other sims they would be referred to as a "Sister." Also whenever I get notifications it's basically a 50/50 chance of whether it will misgender them. I can fix this by opening them up in CAS and going back, but it is very annoying. Not to mention the various grammar mistakes with notifications about them.
What happens when the bug occurs? MY SIM IS BEING MISGENDERED.
What do you expect to see? MY SIM NOT BEING MISGENDERED.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Tried using no custom content and tried uninstalling reinstalling.
Here's a screenshot of the grammar mistakes and being called a "wife." Don't have a screenshot of the misgendered notifications as they're all back to normal besides the grammar mistakes.
