The Sims 4 to Receive Inclusive Update

The Sims 4 is receiving an update which removes many of the gender boundaries that are currently present for your sims. By allowing you to choose various character creator options regardless of the selected gender, the update looks to make The Sims a lot more friendly to trans and non-binary folk.

Today, Maxis is releasing a Sims 4 update that will remove gender boundaries from character creation. Regardless of gender, Sims will be able to have any physique, voice, and attire. On top of that, players can now change Sims’ genders whenever they want, and they can designate which Sims are capable of reproducing.

The Sims series has allowed for same-sex romances since the original (no marriage until Sims 3, though), but trans, non-binary, and other gender identifications of players’ choosing are new territory. This is a big step.
