Please add Menstrual cycles and OB/YGNS
Dear EA team I love the sims 4 and your inclusivity with lgbtq representation such as pronouns and gender options but I’m asking you please to add menstrual cycles to the game along with ob/ygns as o...

Wait, what? Make it make sense—the math is not mathing! 😅Regarding menstruation and menopause. Menstruation is a natural process for a pre-teen/teen! How in the world is menstruation/menopause, which is a part of a woman's anatomy, increasing the teen rating? Women give birth, so this is a part of being a woman. This is a biological lifelong process that is a part of a woman's life. If we want to be inclusive? Yes, it should be considered. However, women are not a minority. And this could be a setting you could turn off—if you don't want it. As a female myself, I'm not against it. Why should I be? It's a part of being a female. And it's a part of our daily life. It stays for a couple of decades. Female Sims get babies but they don't have menstrual cycles—very logical. 🫠 It makes sense, right? I think this is debatable! We will exclude male sims, of course! Why because this is a special Alien-Sims-Thing! 😂
You don't need to show the blood, but there are ways around it, as a very well-known mod proves. Wohoo and Death are the best examples of a workaround. Menstruation/Menopause: That's something every "biologically" woman on planet Earth goes through, regardless of the location in the world. I don't understand why people (especially females) are against it. 🙃 I don't need it per se, but I'm also not against it. 😉
I'm totally for it as long as it is optional, as many things in this game should be.
I don't mind it if it's added like a moodlet type thing that requires minimal input from me. Please don't make it into a chore or put too much unnecessary emphasis on it. I've had enough trouble dealing with the real life thing.
I don't understand why people (especially females) are against it.
The main reason seems to be that we're not keen on having to deal with it in real life, and enjoy the fact that our sims don't have to. That's certainly my reason. There are many ways in which I enjoy the realistic aspects of the game (I'm kind of a hybrid fantasy and realism player) but incorporating periods is not something I would enjoy. In my view it's one of the worst things about being born female, and I enjoy the fantasy of playing in a world where my pixel people aren't plagued with it.
suepixels, the reasoning is because certain things can only be referenced. They don't explicitly call things exactly what they are IRL. The only way it could be referenced is by a moodlet, and I already dislike those since they are so easy to manipulate. I also play this franchise to relax, not to be reminded of complete realism.
I agree.
I like mixing realism with fantasy(occults) in my gameplay in order find creative escapism in this game.
I want to explore every aspect of the game therefore my occults live among the normies. Everyone thrives and gets along in my worlds...most of the time.
Prov31Simmer I get it and totally understand. But as mentioned, obviously there are players who want it in their game. TBH I know a ton who would use this, as they use the known mod and want more realism. It should be available with the option to turn it off—so everyone can play this as they please. This would be a good compromise. One does not need to use all provided features as long as you have the option to turn them off. 😉 But hey, that's just my opinion.
They never give the option to turn off certain base game features. Like I would love to opt out of the gender neutral terms used in-game and would love to opt out entirely of constant random generated townies. I fear if they could find a way to reference this in-game, that it would be too intrusive with no way to entirely opt out 100%.
