Gender neutral terms at MWS, also will be translated gender neutral?

In terms of Traditional Chinese, there won’t be an issue on this. In TC it’s called “單身派對／聚會,” which literally means “single’s* party/gathering.” And it has never been a term that has a gender connotation.

*The Chinese language oftentimes operates on an “implied” basis. In this instance, “single’s party” is generally implied as “last night being single.”

In German they could have use the word Polterabend, which implies a very loud party the couple does before the wedding day and where they invite friends and everybody who can't attend the ceremony. Only problem, the devs decided not to include breaking the porcelain tradition, which is the main reason why it called Polterabend, based on the proverb shards bring luck, so I don't have any idea how it would called, maybe something with the genderstar. A Polterabend without making a mess for the couple, isn't a Polterabend. It could have been so easy.

It‘s called JGA in German. I saw it in Simtimes‘ livestream.

@grandmasbiscuits Ahh, thank you, I rarely watch the german youtubers or streamers in general. JGA is okay, kind of boring, but a good compromise. If they would write it down, it would be a monstrous long word. Thanks again. :smile:

Yes, right now refer to Bachelor / Bachelorette party, than now is Bach Party

Is that an actual term? My mind just thinks we're having a party to celebrate a German composer.

Threads like this make my head hurt....

I totally agree - Bach party and flower pal. How lame.

Question, flower pal is mandatory?
At Argentina is not used that
And is not always aboy who bring the rings, also can be a girl

No aspect of the weddings are mandatory with the new pack, you choose which will be used in the weddings you set up, and which you will not.

For the roles, gender does not matter, so you can have a girl, a boy, or a non-binary individual be the ring bearer. Unfortunately, hobbits are not available in the game for it though.

Weird thing is Ive never heard anyone say Bach party.

I actually googled this and apparently a "Bach Party" is real term.

A google search for "gender neutral term for person getting married" returned for me as the first entry...

"Nearly Wed". Which is all known English wording. No risk of confusion. Nobody's gonna show up to your "Nearly Wed Party" in a Renaissance outfit with a giant wig on and wax poetic about classical music composers (unless that is your party theme). ;)

That said, 'Bach Party' I get, as an attempt to make the neutral by shaving off the gendered part. But it then hits on a famous surname.

Honestly I like "Bach Party." It's easy & simple. "Flower pal" is fine but "flower child" couldve allowed a fun pun.
