Gender patch forgot the option BOTH - and really would be interesting

Ok so why is it if a normal male sim has sex with a alien female BOTH get pregnant? So it's not like it's not already in the coding or it was at least at one point

you're comparing a representation of a fantasy species with a representation of human beings, just as a reminder.

But if it happens with aliens+male sim. They could make it work with male+male, or female+female

Or why say than my idea of function as both, is not natural, but yes is ok a male sim than can become pregnant or a woman than can impregnate other women.... or even "worse" make than try for baby a male and a female sim, and the male sim become pregnant?

Of course it is part of the gender patch, but why no allowed than a sim can use both options?

With all life states they added along the series (and good than they did it, from game play view), is like I say:

Is correct than The Sims is a life simulator, but really is or need be an HUMAN LIFE simulator?

Why not have both? Because the game would not know whether the Sim is the one to get pregnant or to get someoen else pregnant during the woohoo. How would the game decide to determine if she is getting pregnanat or causing someone else to be pregnant. That code might be too much trouble. And if it was all set on chance and random, and a percentage, then someone would complain one is always the one to get pregnant and not the other. It's best just to try to mod it and let them worry about bringing bigger EPs to TS4 because it sure needs them.

I think the gender patch is the best! I really love the possibilities it gives in my game :)

The game allows you to decide who is like the "female" aka able to bear children and who is like the "male" aka able to impregnate. The fantasy lifestate of aliens getting both genders pregnant was just a call back to previous games. The gender patch was the worst thing the game developers ever accomplished anyway, as there are much more important bugs they ignored. No one in reality can both get pregnant and impregnate, and it is supposed to imitate life.

The gender patch was just a usually lazy http://oi68.tinypic.com/29o1zsi.jpg way of stopping people complaining that there weren't enough closes for both genders by allowing anyone to wear anything.

So what about people who wanted to make a Drag Queen? Or what about transgender man and women?

They already modded the game before the fake-gender patch. Now I am fortunate enough to require a mod that makes the lbgt not exist in my game what-so-ever.

so you\re saying there aren't actually trangender people and I'm imagining Dan Chameory (a drag-queen actor who almost always play Plumbom von Boxtox in Ross Petty's play and he played Miss Trunchbull in 2016 Malditia the musical) in RL?

I wasn't aware the game would even produce same-gender households without modding; does it? (I've had mods that do for a long time so I genuinely don't know.)

This is an interesting idea, and as someone against mods I would love to see EA work on something like this. All of the ideas mentioned here I’d love to have put into the sims 4 to see how sims as well as the development team handle these topics and work with them.
