I'm confused by all these people acting inconvenienced because the sims is adding pronouns, like after selecting a name, and spending 3 hours looking through clothes and redoing hair and make-up on every outfit and removing random glasses the game added to only one outfit (normally the sleeping one), like people who were glasses only do so on hot day and not every day, selecting a radial button for your sim's pronouns (assuming they aren't defaulted which I think they will be) is just too much effort.

Sure, you may not use this feature. I probably won't as I a cisgender myself, but it's important to the people who play the game and are not cisgender to be able to create a version of themselves too. Since most of us have been able to create ourselves we haven't struggled with this but for the people who have this is going to be a big deal for them.

There are lots of things in the Sims I don't personally use or see the need for (I am looking at you weird ugly clothes) but I know other people like them and they aren't hurting me so I'm okay.

I don't think people have a problem with them being added (or at least I don't), I think it's more the fact that as of right now, they are planning to display those pronoun preferences along with the sims's name in live mode. That is what my main concern is, not that I don't want them, because I do .... I want my sims to be addressed with the correct pronouns I set up for them, I just don't need to see those pronoun preferences along with their names.

There are (broadly) two groups of people voicing concerns and criticisms with the pronouns being displayed. One group doesn't want to see it for aesthetic/immersion breaking reasons, and the other doesn't want to see it because they don't want custom pronouns in the game in the first place.

I can see the point(s) of the first group, and find them reasonable, even if I personally am fine with the pronouns being displayed (preferably below the name, not after it.)

Discussing the second group will land me in a time out, so I won't.
