Customizable Pronouns First Look

I think it’s great that they’re developing a customizable pronoun system for those who want it in their game. I also found it interesting to listen to the experts explaining about the various challenges they have to deal with and how they could potentially solve some of these language issues.

Regarding the concept of that new user interface…I’d have to agree with others and I really hope they’re going to get rid of a lot more than those huge WIP watermarks.

I absolutely despise messy UI and having to look at a pronoun display next to my sim’s name is gonna blubberize my brain. It’s such an unnecessary detail and it could have been anywhere but there. I truly hope they will take our feedback and change this, including the pronoun tooltips in live mode.

In my game I already know who’s a he and who’s a she. It’s really obvious. If it wasn’t obvious, it still wouldn’t matter. I’m the only person playing my game. It’s a single player game.

My RL job already requires me to be extremely careful about how I address people and for a simple guy like myself I’m doing a great job at that because I do respect people and their feelings. But sheesh please let my game be a friggin game.

I don’t need to be reminded of pronouns every single time I see a RL person, let alone a sim. I’m more interested in personalities than pronouns. Are you a decent human being? Yes? Now we can talk.
I didn’t talk until I was almost 4 years old, and really folks, sometimes I want to go back to my quieter self. Impossible to offend anyone.

You know this thing with Morgyn Ember? To me he’s a spell caster dude who wears make-up and he teaches my sims how to perform magic.
Others see Morgyn as non-binary or trans or whatever due to something in the gender settings (I still don’t have a clue what that is and frankly my dear I don’t give a darn) and that’s totally fine. Wonderful! So yes, I agree with others, move the pronoun customization to the gender setting for simmers who are very specific about gender details.

The messages are the most important element here right? And the simology? Not the friggin tooltips. Add an option under the friendly social interaction were we could ask about pronouns, if that’s important.

Oh Bella Goth, you’re a HE ?! I never would’ve thought. That’s grand. Lovely dress.

Back to my good friend Morgyn. Me referring to Morgyn as a dude or a lass or a chicken is not gonna offend Morgyn. I hope. Unless he knows. …
In my head he’s a he and the game doesn’t need to tell me he’s a they or a she because I won’t agree anyway. Sometimes it’s necessary to delete the dude for storytelling purposes. Sorry Morgs.


It’s great that they’re striving for advanced customization and that they’re developing options for those who want to modify pronouns and gender etc. but all this stuff is so in your face….there’s no reason for that whatsoever, is there now?
