Non-binary?
The Sims games have always been fun. And rather socially progressive even. However, humans are a mess. 😅
Humans have sexual dimorphism, meaning we have two primary genders: male and female. Everyone knows this. However, thanks to genetic mutations, humans can, very rarely, have a total of 6 biological genders.
They are rare gender mutations, but The Sims is a fictional life simulator anyways. I'd love for them to be added to the game. The inclusion would be great, and would definitely add even more possible options and details. And because then I can spend a few more hours creating a Sim. 😄
While it may be a bit much to ask the programmers of The Sims 4 expansion packs (or even The Sims 5 maybe) to have male, female, and the four non-bianary genders, perhaps we could have three gender options? Male, Female, and Non-bianary?
And there could be check boxes for what that Sim can do, regardless of selected gender. Like lactate, impregnate others, be impregnated, stuff like that. All the check boxes would do is set the rules for what the Sim can do, cannot do, and what they can and cannot be affected by.
Oh, and the should NOT be "either or" checks. That way, I can make a male or female or non-bianary Sim who can lactate, be impregnated, and impregnate others, all at once. OR I could make a non-bianary Sim who can't do any of that. Or a male Sim that can lactate and be impregnated. Or make a female Sim who can impregnate others.
I know other players like me would love these options. People already make some fantastic Sims, creations I never could make. And I know the modding community would ABSOLUTELY love these options. I know there are a few mods out there already that get close to this idea, but I would LOVE to see it in the base game, whether that be The Sims 4 or even The Sims 5.
