Ranch Hands Question

Does the gender of the played Sim affect the gender of the hired ranch hand?

When I first got Horse Ranch, I tried to hire a female Sim as a love interest to my Simself, but I only ended up with male Sims, and I fired and hired about half a dozen.

Recently, I played one of my other households (which is all female) and hired a ranch hand as the amount of work was getting out of hand. The game spawned a female ranch hand. The irony is that what I intended to do with my Simself happened with her instead--she autonomously fell in love with her ranch hand. Thus, I moved the ranch hand in with her.

So, to test that theory, I switched back to my normal household, and had my Sim's wife hire the ranch hand--and a female ranch hand showed up again.

I still plan to try with multiple households of different sizes to see what happens.

  • My sim is female, has gone through several ranch hands, both male and female.

    I tried a few more households, and I think I've come to the conclusion that it is, in fact random. Don Lothario--males showed up three times. Tried another female household--one female and two male.
