The way gender identities are currently being handled in game is one that should suit almost everyone.
I’m not a fan of the ginormous pronoun UI, I would have placed it under the sim details tab where sexual orientation can also be found, but adding pronouns behind one’s name is trending IRL at the moment, so I can understand why the devs chose to place it where it currently is.
That’s OK, It doesn’t actually bother me (I just don’t really fancy it from a UI design POV) and I find myself using the pronoun customization tool more often than I thought I would. It’s great for both fantasy players like myself and people who’d rather prefer playing the game based on real life.
It is also entirely optional so if one doesn’t want to use this tool, it can be disregarded (with the exception of the UI) and the game remains unchanged.
I’m aware that this feature is in ongoing development, but overall I’m pretty satisfied with how it works since there are options for almost every kind of player and that’s the way it should be. ??
