This concerns the new trait system. Here if you scroll down you can see the pronouns have changed when the Sim got a notice about a new trait perk etc. The previous notice about the Sim's job used he, the new trait notice says They. Scroll down to the picture showing what happens with a new trait system etc. It wasn't about pronouns but new traits...I just happened to notice the change. I didn't want to derail that thread with my questions and opinions.

ETA: I read the petition linked by Simgirl, however, even if a player picks male or female frames for their Sim, the player and a parent has right to know of these changes in any new packs and or the player should have the option even if a female frame for their Sim if the popup text calls that Sim a he or she or they. Maxis has failed to provide fairness across the board here. I don't know if the Sim pictured who rec'd the new notice about a new trait action/perk etc. was a female frame or not picked in CAS, but that isn't the point, the point is Maxis should inform the public of any major changes so parents can decide what to buy and what not to buy. Players should be able to see their Sim as a he or she in the body of a text, and Maxis has failed to address these requests in a sensical manner that would be acceptable to all. ETA: And Maxis there are plenty of trans that want to be called he or she, no matter what frame they pick (if due to gender patch) who want to be called he or she and not they or them. This doesn't please a lot of folks with a blanket change without notice.
