Customizable Pronouns First Look

It looks like the pronouns will be permanently displayed to the right of the sim's name. Frex:
Sarah Green She/Her/Hers
Jeremy Smith He/Him/His
Leslie Jacobs They/Them/Theirs
And you can create customized pronouns Ze/Zim/Zeirs (for example.)( I'm also thinking aliens)

This was a surprise, I expected the pronoun options would be placed in the gender select, M/Fbody frame, get preggers/impregnate others, pee standing up and etc. menus rather than behind the sim's name

Agree, I don't understand why they weren't put there since the whole point of that panel is for gender options... Not a fan of it being next to the sims name at all, it's a bit of an eyesore for me having them all listed so I'll be either not updating or looking for a mod to hide it or move it if that's the case. And as others have said, I hope it'll still default to he for male sims and she for female sims rather than having to input it for every single sim

I'm an old school simmer and I love this.

You don't need to be new school to understand that 3% of the world doesn't feel comfortable calling themselves she or he. And they exist. And that's just as many people in the world as red heads.

It is common practice to put your pronouns beside your name so people know how to refer to you. It's not trying to shove political correctness in people's faces. It's to let them know who you are.

Well, since it's only 3% of the population that has this issue I think it's only fair that they only display their pronoun preferences next tot their names. The rest of the people don't need to disambiguate their gender. And most of the time its not even ambiguous, they just don't want to be addressed as she/he.

I am always happy when people are willing to learn something new in order to be more considerate of others. I appreciate this change very much! (And I'm sure it will continue to change and be tweaked over time)

well said @KathMHughes

I don't particularly care one way or the other about it - I'm a binary sort. But I'm glad that those that needed it have it. I'm all about options, even ones I don't understand completely. You do you. Besides, I'm sure I'll find a way to abuse the Custom option in some way lol.

I also thought this would be integrated into the gender options. Only affecting the in-game pop up messages for those who needed this feature. Still hoping that showing the pronouns next to the name in live mode is not mandatory. And that I won't have to adjust anything.

I was talking about the sims, not real people... No issue with people doing it in real life to let people know if it's not obvious, but personally I don't like it being written next to my sims name every time I open CAS that's all, it makes it look overly cluttered for me

I hope we can have the option to opt out of displaying pronouns. I am happy for those that wanted this but personally it isn't something I care about in my game.

A pronoun/custom pronoun option bar in the settings I think would work really well. If its switched off, you wont see it in CAS, it wont show up next to your name, and it wont generate for random townies.

110% Agree.
