XX + XX = XY?

Yeah, the title say all
We have the option to customize genders, so both females can try for baby
But then.... you follow me?

  • Irl... not everyone is xx or xy. Some people are xxy or xyx. There are other combinations too. It is called "intersex" and approximately 1 in 500 people have a third chromosome. Maybe the Sims in question have three chromosomes as well? Just a thought.

    Edit: I just thought, in MWS there are "intersex" wedding cake toppers. I'm sure that the genders settings are set to reflect that if you want them too.

    I do not follow, since nowhere in the options chromosomes are mentioned, but gender.

    Don't have my game open but doesn't it say male or female? It's my understanding that these refer to biological sex in the strictest use of the terms, where man, woman, or any other way someone identifies, would refer to gender? I could be wrong.

    Either way, magic exists. And aliens. I have no problem using custom setting when I want my couple to have children. It's a magical made up world. I personally love that not only can players represent themselves, but they can make the world follow rules they would ideally prefer, instead of being beholden to our current reality <3


    Exactly. If one plays as if this is meant to be a simulated version of real life, one no doubt has already had many, many problems with that approach. Many other very unreal things (compared to the world and life we currently know, anyway) have existed in these games since day one. :wink:

    Yeah, I don't get it either on what the question is.

    I thought you could already toggle it in CAS so that any partner can have a baby?

    Yeah. That's part of the gender options. Which why the chromosome thing isn't a valid argument since that argument has nothing to do with gender.

    That's the last I will comment on this issue.
  • Real life Biology is far more complicated than XX and XY.

    Biology in the Sims doesn't have to match Real life Biology anyway.

    And that's all I'm going to say.
