Please re-add...

The game changed due to the changing of the times as well as a huge campaign by players who wanted inclusivity via pronouns. 🤷‍♂️I find the whole thing very complex and confusing, but just roll with it. I'd be fine if we just used "Sim/them/they" "parent, sibling, significant other" to make it "simpler".
"Their parent/s." "Their child/ren." "Their S.O." "Their partner." "Their spouse." "Did you ask them?" "The birthday Sim." "They graduated with honors." 

I agree lmao. Give the option for gender neutral if we want, but not all of us do...

Yeah, no. I'm not going to "just roll with it". They intentionally removed those terms when they could have just added partner and spouse to the already existing list. Isn't that what "inclusion" is supposed to be.  

Oh, heh. I wasn't telling you to just roll with it. I was saying that is what I do despite the whole thing is really complicated. Yeah, I get what you are saying, inclusion would be adding on options rather than replacing them. I'm just not quite sure if the Sims 4 is capable of adding with how it is formatted... thus the replacing. 🤔This theory is simply based on how swimmingly the process of getting pronouns to work has been going. If not that, it is another situation I find the developers are not quite good at implementing "correctly" because they only know the surface idea and not quite the vision the players have.

I agree with the OP but maybe not for the same reasons. Simmers are all different and play in many different ways. They might want a "traditional" family set up in one play and in another have a completely different family dynamic. I support 100% people who want to have representation in whatever alternative lifestyle they can dream up, provided that lifestyle involves consenting adults (looking at you horrible glitch that made dads look at their teen child daughters, eww).   I also support those who want to keep it traditional for whatever reason they may have whether that be religious of for whatever other reasons. This is a sandbox game and the player gets to decide for themselves how they want to play. Freedom, inclusivity, and representation means add choices not remove them. I wouldn't support any removal of terms that people CHOOSE to define themselves and I don't support this either.  

If this is an issue of trying to make the pronouns  work then they need to give the player base a candid explanation of the removals because it sure does look a certain way and that way does feel discriminatory. I'm sure if this is the issue then the players would move into acceptance until the issue can be sorted.
