Gender Neutral Options.

I heard on a livestream they were going to include gender neutrality in the Sims. I hope it’s going to be a toggle button so it’s a choice. I think that would be fair, having options is important. Everyone plays differently.

I agree.... I would like it to be a toggle too, because I kind of like it the way it is now.

Choosing to be gender neutral will likely be a button of some sort. Then your choice it not to use that button.

My problem is I randomize romantic preference, and my straight sims may be dating a non binary sim without knowing. I.D.K. About you, but I would feel bad saying a sim is a boy or girl when they are not... Sims should 100% get the option to ask pro nouns. EDIT: Other than this, I.D.C. Really.

I guess they'll add non binary in CAS gender settings so it will be a choice for played sim, but NPCs will be randomly generated as male/female/neither.

The skintone update made random generated sims even worse. I hope this non binary thing doesn’t make it even more weird when it comes to their clothes. I would be more fine with it if we can somehow have a toggle to stop new random generated sims.

I don't think townies can be randomized with the gender cuztomizations already in game, so that most likely won't happen.

They will probably add it as an option.

I have no idea how they are going to do it though.

Maybe they'll add it to the current CAS options? That'd seem like the easiest idea and would be done on per-sim basis rather than global, which would make little sense.

Probably, I just wonder how much the game needs to be updated in order to support it. There is probably a lot of code in the game that relies on a sim being either a {M0.him} or {F0.her} as it is defined in the game code.

I like the idea of it being an option, and I feel like it will be an option in CAS. That is what makes the most sense to me anyways.

I have never like the clothes the computer picks for townies. ???. Sims usually have a formal top and then swim shorts and even the colours don’t match!

Yes I’m wondering about that and how big the patch size is going to be! ?
