They are two separate things. Baby showers used to be simple and practical. Now they seem to have become more like the 'gender' reveal parties: ridiculous and over the top, and a sign of greed.
But now it seems to be a competition as to who gets the most expensive gifts, and it's not about practicality, just money.
Oh I didnt know that. A friend of mine did a gender reveal but it was joined in the baby shower. In game id imagine them being the same and a gender reveal an activity for the shower. Besides in the game its not real money and sims dont give gifts anyway lol
See... that's where a Gender Reveal option becomes intrusive for those who don't want it. I don't do goaled events often, but a baby shower could be fun ... until I need to do the gender reveal activity, because I don't like gender reveals - because I'm one of those people who doesn't like to put gender expectations on others. Yes, it's just a game. But it's a game that reflects how we think, and I think Gender reveals are... Much ado about Nothing... with all the Shakespearean puns there ... intact.
I suppose there could still be two parties - Baby Shower and Baby Shower with Gender reveal. Or the gender reveal option could only be triggered if you have certain items (such as the balloons) on lot. Or if we could cancel out of a particular goal and have the game generate a new one... (I could use that feature anyway, actually.)
