Women behind The Sims - International Women's Day Q&A

I have so many favourite female sims in my save, but Shine Furystrykar, who is my avatar, is my favourite. Not only is she an amazing mother of three, she's a talented archaeologist.

And here she is, getting her revenge on a skeleton:

And then there's Chloe Furystrykar, a 5 star celebrity. Here she is, singing 'Be Kind'

Her rise to fame was her travel guides, and she donated to mental health charities. Chloe Furystrykar's tile has a tribute to someone who shared her initials, with the words 'Be Kind'.

And as an addendum, the lyrics to Chloe's song, 'Be Kind' are under the spoiler:


Be kind to those less fortunate,
Be kind to those with nothing left,
Be kind, to the whole world around you.

Be kind to those who are alone,
Be kind to those without a home,
Be kind, to the whole world around you.

No matter the creed or colour,
Doesn't matter whether you're thin or fat,
There are those, that will still love you.

In a world that is full of grief,
In a world that is full of strife,
Remember, that love is all around.

Treat each other with respect,
Doesn't matter if they're blind or deaf,
Remember, that love is all around.

No matter if you're severely ill,
Doesn't matter whether you're old or young,
There are those, that will still love you.

I'll end, by saying above all else, be kind.

Question for the Gurus- Have you had any difficulties that were caused by your gender in what i can imagine is a male dominated career ? If so how have you overcome them?
My fave female sim is also my avatar .. and my signature :') Madison <3 She is a mother of three, married to a crime boss, a graduate of foxbury with a distinguished degree in Economics, shes an entrepreneur with her own business, she works as a model and has a large social media following. She is very charitable and is well known for her good deeds. She lives in Oasis Springs and was kind of an 'ugly duckling' But she has come a long way from her childhood days in Strangerville :3 also (im sorry i use so much alpha cc xD but i dont use cc in building :') )Also this is amazing <3 I'm looking forward to seeing everyones sims and hearing from the women behind the sims <3 https://i.imgur.com/nEhkUrB.jpg

Firstly, this Sim whose save game I unfortunately lost, and I hadn't saved her to the gallery, so I lost her a while back and don't actually remember her name. But I loved her dearly.

I would like to ask if you have thought about adding things to the game like an event to pick out wedding dresses in sims 4
or maybe a baby shower event those are big events in a woman's life and I would really like to see that in game
I would also like to see more done with pregnancy in game like cravings and mood swings

also I would like to know if mothers day could be added to the game
I understand if you cant answer my earlier questions
is it cool working on sims games
do you like playing sims games
as a woman do you wish some of the things I asked about could be added to the game I understand that not all the things you want can be added

First a request - can you please post the Sims from the Tiny Living trailer to the Gallery? I noticed that you have the female Sim from Tiny Living the image promoting this thread, but she's not available for us (at least I can't find her).

Second, question - as a female Sim Guru, are there any game play features that have turned out differently due to your female perspective compared to how they might have originally been envisioned?

This my favourite Sim, Jill. I have played with her since I got the Sims 4 in summer 2018. She is my favourite Sim to play with. :)

There are plenty of questions I have, but since this is for women's day I'll focus on two major ones I'd like to see for the game; pregnancy and babies.

1. Any chance that we'll see any updates to pregnancy in the future? This, along with overhauled babies, is something that has been highly requested. Pregnancy is a huge (if not the biggest) moment in a woman's life after all, so it would be something great to have with a greater level of detail in TS4. I think it would be great to see features such as pregnancy cravings, maternity clothes, birthing classes, baby showers, gender reveal parties, and nursery shopping to make the pregnancy have more depth. I also think it would be really nice to be able to have higher order multiples such as quads and quints in game, even if it's just a small chance. Just last month a thread was made with ideas on how to improve on this area in the game. It would mean a lot of the gurus could take a look at it.

https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/972130/how-can-we-make-pregnancy-and-infants-more-interesting-for-this-game-or-future-ones/p1

2. As for babies, any chance of them being overhauled? Many simmers would like to see actual babies with gameplay and depth. For a woman, raising her baby and teaching them how to crawl, take their first step, say their first word, and overall spend quality time with them is extremely important. This is something very important to me as a woman and my female family members, and it would be very enjoyable to see it represented in game.

Are the gurus familiar with the gameplay of babies in Sims Freeplay? I totally recommend looking at it for ideas.

As a woman, these are very important aspects of life that I think would give new life to the game and make it more enjoyable for many players, including female players, especially in terms of content for female sims. Even if the gurus choose not to answer this post, I hope at the very least that it will be seen.

Hi there! I play a berry Sim legacy and one of my favorite female Sims has been my third generation heir, Fern.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/fern.jpg

Fern is a polyamorous bisexual woman. She faces judgment and criticism for her romantic preferences, but still preservers and thrives first in the corporate world and then in the political world.

She eventually finds a partner that accepts her for who she is and supports her move into the political arena.
