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

I don’t care about the wording of things.They can call it whatever they want. I have a problem with the entire game play focusing on gender neutrality. If I want to throw a “Bach” party I would need the club system from another pack in order to create a traditional stag night (all male) with stag night activities and that’s even without being able to hire the juicy dancers (all female). It’s ridiculous. Completely and utterly ridiculous.

No you wouldn't.

It's a party. You plan parties. Including who is invited. You don't want to invite females to a Bachelor Party, you don't have to.

Why do you need another pack for that?

It's a good thing the game is not localized in Hebrew cause it is a very VERY gendered language (a simple sentence in past/future tense could have three gendered words in a row), there would be literally no way to make a gender neutral term for 'bachlor/ette party'.

I don't see a problem with gender neutral terms in this case. It doesn't make any sense creating two separate events for Bachelor and Bachelorette parties. Same with the Flower Pal. If it was Flower Girl some of you would be offended that they called your boy a girl and vice versa. I think it's fine and it includes everyone, which is always a good thing. :smile:

Usually, in portuguese, the masculine term is used as a gender neutral option so I guess they'll use that. I just saw a early review and for the Flower Pal they used "Responsável pelas pétalas de flores" which roughly translates to "responsible for the flower petals".

I think that's normal, especially compared to creating two different parties in the game (why should they do that?). I don't know what they chose for finnish translation, usually it's called "polttarit".

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

Okay that makes sense, but would I be able to add any party activity ( including activities available via the GT club system) or is it limited to what the planner gives us? It seems impossible to plan a traditional bachelor/ bachelorette party, say, sims 3 style. Is there an option to invite an entertainer at all?

And I apologise, I should really head over to the threads that answer those questions. I’m going off topic now.
