They/Them Pronouns are not Grammatically Correct

Hello! 

I'm not sure if this is exactly a "bug" but the grammar is entirely incorrect when using they/them pronouns. For instance, a paragraph reads, "When [Sim] went to work, they was just a florist. Now, she's been filmed as a supporting character......They wasn't ready for all of this sudden attention!"

It was quite funny for a while but now it is just dissappointing. 

Thanks for your time <3

    We fixed a pronoun error that was grammatically incorrect in the "Stuck in the Middle" moodlet text.

    Fixed in Patch 1.129.39/2.40

    I have noticed this as well and it is jarring. Thank you for reporting.

  • Didn't we have a pinned thread that was collecting grammar issues since right after they and custom pronouns were introduced? I remember it but can't find it now. There are still so many grammar issues

  • I can see why this would become frustrating after a while. Hopefully the developers can look into the pronoun grammar and fix it in a future update. Thanks for reporting it!

  • Yep, I've witnessed that too. I genuinely appreciate EA's devotion to being inclusive - I just wish they would check the grammar more thoroughly as this issue happens very frequently.
