Customizable Pronouns First Look

This is me right here. Ive honestly been very neutral to the idea of pronouns existing in the game. Their presence or lack thereof doesnt make any real difference in my game. I dont even see myself religiously using this feature since I really dont make sims that fall outside the gender binary.

Im not going to rally against new options to further diversify sims, but my attention is always going to be on new stuff for our sims to do and interact with. Im bored with the game right now. Our last pack was in the summer and since then we've had nothing but kits that dont add new gameplay mechanics. They're all cosmetic. And even if I were willing to buy kits, I'd probably still be bored. "Oh look another new chair for my sim to sit on. Whoopee a new shirt. Someone please help me contain my excitement."
Meanwhile Im still hopelessly hopeful for a new occult, simulation lag to get fixed, restaurants to work (I havent been able to run my restaurants without risking their rating tanking due to employees that refuse to come in) and a whole plethora of game fixes and updates. To be honest, Im far more excited at the hint of a possible romance/wedding pack than pronouns being added, since I can't help but think of what gameplay additions would make an appearance and what stories can come out of it. Honeymoons? Updated weddings? New romantic interactions? New world maybe? I'll literally take anything if it meant new things for our sims to do.

To the folks that are head over heels in love with confirmed pronoun development, more power to you. I know that this is important to alot of simmers and when it finally rolls out I hope its done in a way that's will be a happy medium for those that want it, and those that dont. This simmer just wants new gameplay. That's all.

I'm with you. The pronoun feature may be a dream come true for some players, and I'm happy they are getting it, but I can take it or leave it. Since it's going to be there I'll probably use it sometimes, but it's not something I particularly feel I need in the game. Likewise, none of the kits really interest me so I haven't bought them. Personally I'd rather have dragons, faeries and medieval content, but in the meantime I'll play with the game as it is when I feel the urge to play. I kind of overplayed it several times since reinstalling in September though, and ultimately got bored of my saves, so I'm taking a little break right now.
