Are male sims lacking in this game??

That trailer isn’t even made for men. ??‍♂️

Honestly though, the men do need some love, body hair, better clothes and actual better hair options. Don't get me wrong. I love some of the hair and shirts they have but those pants make them look like they are fighting floods on a daily basis.

There are a few things I'd like to see more of with regards to male sims.

Beauty. Sometimes you want pretty sims in the game. Female sims are by default usually very pretty or cute from the get-go but the male sims by default require major overhauls and a lot of fiddling to remove the dorky to full-on yikes. I'd like to see good looking male sims turn up more often in cas and the random townies.

Eligible bachelors. There aren't quite enough of them. In old and new packs, there are lots of couples and unattached female sims (I'm talking about key characters and the ones who are the usual sims you see around) but not as many unattached male sims, I'd like to see more single male sims. They should not have the noncommittal trait either.

Bare ankles. I'd love to see more long pants for male sims. Most of the pants are too short, like above the ankles too short, and you can only pair them with boots or you get a Steve Urkle thing going on. It's hard to be hip in highwaters.

Voices. I'd love to have a few more voice tones to choose from. There's one I never use because all I hear is Homer Simpson and I totally can't take Homer seriously. That voice is forever typecast and can not be used for anyone but Homer. ;)

Certainly not, but I also can't imagine that women like this kind of agitated voice acting they give us since Island Living. Perhaps American taste?

I couldn't tell you ? I'm not polite enough too be American, I speak alot of slang ? @alanmichael1

American female here. No. No, we do not like it. Those voices are like nails on a chalkboard. The super hyped, extra shot of expresso, half a line snorted voices are very reminiscent of children's toy ads and it's sickening. I hate it down to my ovaries.

I've never really thought about it to be honest. I guess on trailers its always female sims

Another American female here, and I had to mute the sound. The VO reminds me of Alvin and the chipmunks only the female version.

It‘s very difficult to make attractive male sims. I have like three or four in my game and none of them I made myself (downloaded from somewhere). I‘d like to have more eye candy but it‘s not a priority to me. 99.9% of times I play female sims. Male sims in my game are only ???? donors and travel partners.

?? that's one way too use men ? wow ! Lol, my mum makes that remark about my dad hahaha @dearie_blossom

As far as the number of male Sims generated by the game, there are plenty! I often take my male Sims to the romance festival, and it's just men everywhere as far as the eye can see.

As far as the number of premades, I haven't noticed a discrepancy, except for in the number of homosexual couples. As has been pointed out elsewhere, homosexual male couples are lacking.

As far as the trailers, yikes! Young adult women everywhere!

As far as CAS, in my game there's no problem, because I've downloaded practically every piece of male cc ever created. Without cc, though, there are far, far fewer male items than female items.

There is a similar problem with elders. All the clothes are ultra short skirts and crop tops. I don't know many elders who wear that style. And elders are usually not in trailers at all, other than granny stereotypes. Where are the elder skiers and snowboarders? Why can elders only sit and rock and knit?
