Well, we are not amused by them. We love to be able to call our Woman sim Female & our Man sim Male. ;)

But you can! She/Her and He/Him are also available. :smile:

But not everyone feels the need to use pronouns.

Everyone has pronouns though.

Thank goodness. All this polically correct modern terms just spins my head too much. I'm just an old school simmer.

To be honest I'm a bit annoyed that we now have to look at pronouns perminately next to the name it seems. As I don't like how everyone displays it everywhere all over themselves these days. Personally I'm tired of seeing it and remember when people were just people regardless of how they identified.

But on the flip side I'm proud of the level of customization and how well they have implemented something so complex. I hope everyone is happy when it's all done and can finally feel fully represented. ?

I'm pretty happy with the way their handling this. It's very customizable. It seems like it will affect the text in the message boxes as well, which I know a lot of player were worried about. So, good job Sims Team!

If they do announce Sims 5 I imagine this will be a feature as well. I just hope they allow traditional simmers to play the way they want to as well. I see lots of games now deleting sex/gender altogether, just assigning body types and pronouns. Thats not how I see myself, the world and thats not how I play. So i hope they can still respect traditional players perspective and keep things optional like they do at times.

Fun fact: the word 'everyone' is a pronoun

I meant of course, that not everyone feels the need to display their pronouns. If this is something that people want to do, it is fine by me. But that does not mean everyone has to participate!

I think that's why they showed their pronouns during that segment on the livestream. To be clear that they are not removing him/her.
