Hi @wjandin,
Some of the languages we support require us to create entirely new words and phrases to account for pronouns usage correctly, this is something we absolutely have to get right and the downside of that is that it requires enormous time and effort to accomplish and implement.
That said, we don't have anything to announce just yet in regards to availability.

You guys made it so people can use custom and type them themselves ! A least give us that option too ! I don’t care if I have to type « iel » and « ellui », I juste want queer francophones to be able to represent themselves and who they truly are !
It’s been years… I am a student in linguistic, I KNOW it’s tough to translate, and it’s a subject that’s still in debate, but since anglophones are able to literally type themselves their pronouns, that option should also be given to the rest of the player base.
We really feel left out, like we do not matter. No one ever talks about it anymore. I guess americans have the update so that’s enough. 🤷♀️It’s not like The Sims never aknowledge the non-english-speaking part of the player base, right ? 🙄
- 2 years ago@Lalo_Reley I agree, the idea that itd take all this time and effort to make it happen in other languages seems like a lame excuse to me for it to have been a year and still nothing. I mean, they already have the masculine and feminine pronouns and phrases for the languages that work that way...at least allow the option to switch between them! And can't they allow people to type in theit own pronouns and just leave the phrases as they are? It might sound a bit funny but most people in my experience who use different pronouns are used to that, and would be happy to have been able to type in their own regardless of how odd it sounds in sentences.
And as for inventing new words...I'm pretty sure most other languages have done that already? They just need to research what they are... like in Spanish, the gender neutral is, for example, "bonitx," masculine and feminine is "bonito" and "bonita." It's already been invented they just need to edit their phrases, which I get is a lot of work...
Could they not, in the meantime, allow to choose either masculine or feminine pronouns?

It's almost been another year... please at least give us the option to change between male and female. I was really hyped about this feature as an enby but so much time has passed with no updates to this situation and I just feel forgotten alongside with all other non english speaking players around the world.

What would help is an update on development. How are we even supposed to expect this to happen when we don't know if its still being worked on and wasn't silently canceled?
