Personally I love Male Sims however they don't have a wide wardrobe range so I have to keep putting them in the same clothes, however female sims have a much wider range of clothing then males.

Personally I love male sims but I play far more female sims. Probably, 80/20 split. I couldn't agree with you more the CAS selection, and CC on the internet too, is pitiful, in quantity, and to some degree the quality. The quality has improved greatly but most of the top creators focus on feminine items. I don't know the exact demographics, but I have always sensed that there are more (far more?) women who enjoy the game than men. That's clearly what the creators feel the market wants and the downloads back it up. But that said male sims need style and variety too. Simmers need to bang the drum for more and better male CAS.

I agree. I love making male Sims because they may get very athletic and it's just something off the chip of my shoulder that makes me make Male sims. I will try to make more female Sims although I started with males.

What do you mean there's not a wide wardrobe range for men, they even have miniskirts. :lol:

I don't really think the game is all that lacking in styles for men...I think the world itself (the real one) is lacking in style variety for men as compared to women and the game just mirrors that.Where the game is lacking, imo, is in facial hair and accessory options for men.As for my preferences in game. I prefer the female sims, because I like looking at females more than males. In game, in the real world, or anywhere else for that matter.

Do you guys like male Sims or Females better?

I like playing both, my game is about a 60/40 split, females/males and I don't have any problems dressing either one. The problems I have are overused aspirations and traits...I need some new ones.

I like males in CAS better, they are definitely quicker to make as males don't have to have different hairstyles for different outfits...and no makeup. I usually have to take more time with females but they are "funner" to dress. :D

My characters are mostly females because I am one! I guess I always like making someone who is a bit like me?

Female. Like many guys, I appreciate beautiful women, and so CAS is sort of like my canvas where I can bring these beauties to life. Sometimes I'm proud of my work, and sometimes I'm disappointed.

But let's keep it real; those of you that know my game also know I have to make some real freaks too lol

I'm about 50/50 on which I prefer to be honest. I've never really seen sim gender as a meaningful part of my game if I'm honest. I sorta view sims as genderless and I just let them decide who they like/how they want to dress. Of course, I still want them to be stylish so I do edit their choices, but if my guy wants to wear pigtails and mini skirts I let him and visa versa. I'm just going to choose a pigtail style that looks nice with a mini skirt :P

Are you referring to crossdressing? Why, I would never do that to any of my sims..... ;)

I like playing both because I like playing with personalities and stories, but I play as female Sims more often and create mostly female Sims in CAS. I also wish there was more CAS options for male Sims.

Men all the way! I use to feel the same way until I discovered cc.
After I got into cc I realized how much variety and fun with fashion they can actually have. Still not as much as girls but after collecting for so long I'm overflowing in beards, suits, shoes, bodyhair and outfits and costumes of every type. Same with the hair so I usually spend hours dressing them.
Girls still have so many more unique styles and options though so I'm overflowing with that too lol.

Outside of from CAS, I love my girls but just enjoy playing with my male sims more in general. I think maybe because I'm more into traditional roles and prefer to have my female sims quiet sweet and humble, I can have more wild adventures with male sims lol. ?

I don't really have a preference, but I do enjoy making male sims more because it's a snap for me to make a beautiful female sim, but male sims are hard.

I can make a pretty boy male sim just fine, but making a "rugged" looking one is tough for me, and it's what I actually prefer in RL and in the sims.

I agree with those who say males are underrepresented in CAS, but I use CC so I don't have so much of a problem regarding that. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect male suit, though. :cries:

I usually play rotationally and really enjoy playing both. Like Chazzzy, I was disappointed in the mens pack we got.

yeah idk it depends on the plot im playing i do think i spend more time in female cas though cause i always dress up my male sims in same way like either they edgy or they wear suits or both mixed up and idk why i keep doing that I need to give them more fashion options :lol:

do also think i tend to default to male or female instead of like androgynous/nonbinary so i think making more sims like that would be fun

or making some rough gals and sweet dudes for a change like i keep doing the gals in pretty dresses and dudes in cool suits thing and i need to stop doing so :lol:
