Loving the fact that they specifically stated they will be talking more about the status of the upcoming customizable pronouns
That makes me super happy!
Yes, that one little word, customizeable, suggesting a fill-in-yourself dropbox, makes all the difference for me, too
(A little excourse: I thought german didn't have gender neutral pronouns, then I looked the matter up and found that we opted for the strangest neo pronouns ever: xier/xies/xiesem. Whoever thought that starting a word with x was a good idea probably never tried using it in a normally paced conversation. Another article mentioned that many noninary germans accept they/them, so that's what my sims will use.)
As a fellow german comrades, who deals a lot with buerocratic language, and so far I haven't got an order so far to use them (I heard about the first time but I do know about the y as a gender replacement in words), so I would say, they didn't decide for everyone what we have to use, they decided for themselves what they want to use and hear. Other people may choose other words. Did you remember, years ago some experts had created a new word for 'not thirsty', no one ever use it, I even forgot it. These people can try to create new words, we have the right language for such experiments, but the time will tell if such words become common or not. So far I know, they not official acknowledge. I mean, I looked for an official greeting form for the official third gender, but only found a informal version, which sounds awfully disrespectful, compared to the Mr and Mrs in an official letter.
I'm more than happy, that the pronounce becomes customizable, I will leave them how they are, until it becomes clear which words will be used.

I just found out why I don’t have any friends. Time to have a word with my folks. 😆
On a serious note, how is it awkward in German? In English “xier/xies/xiesem” would probably sound like “zzzzeer/ sneeze / SEIZE ‘EM!”
Would you not say something similar in German? Or do Germans pronounce “X” as “skjnskich3tkuvh?”
Happy to see that team Maxis pretty much confirmed that customizable pronouns are indeed coming to the sims 4. There’s a good chance it’ll be this year.
Although I probably won’t be moving away from using standard pronouns, their plan on how to implement this feature including all the surrounding technicalities gets me curious, so I’ll be watching the live stream to satisfy my inner geek boy. 🤓
I also got mighty excited by “You make the sims with Complex Sims” due to misreading it as Maxis introducing more complex sims e.g. more complex in behavior and personality. Then I learned it is in fact the name of a CC creator and everything went droopy poopy again. But a couple of new accessories or skin details are always welcome.
And sneak peeks… Well, who doesn’t like sneak peeks? I wonder how hairy those sneak peeks are going to be. Perhaps they will cover everything well below the hairline for a change.

The last one!
No, but almost, it's either ks like in marksman or it's like a sharp s like in sound. And the region slang could change it again. We only have very few words which begins with an x, most of these words were taken from other languages.

Ah, like 'jinx' but at the start of the word. That is indeed awkward. It's a bit like shooing a cat isn't it? Ksssylophone..
I imagine everybody running off before I can even finish saying the friggin' word.
I always find 'I' to be a rather silly-sounding pronoun in English, but everyone seems to take it for granted.
Aye, it is a bit silly.
I still prefer "I" , "Me" and "Myself" to "He" and "They" and everybody else but me.
Back to the topic at hand: I also hope we'll be seeing some kind of hint related to the upcoming gamepack and not just "this is what Bella Goth looks like in the next patch". I don't care. Bells is fine.
Although I'd say today would be the best time to officially announce that carnaval kit one.

I was curious and looked up Pabllo Vittar, the Brazilian drag queen who might be the inspiration for the new Carnival Streetwear park. She has done an interview for the It Gets Better Project, maybe she might be the guest?

I think tomorrow is when they will announce the kit

I'm hoping we get a little teaser before the Livestream. They don't discuss paid content during the Livestream.
They only "misused" the lol because they got rid of disagree, aka Zagadoo.
They just didn't like the environment we had here, I agree with the decision to remove dislike.
That's a whole nother discussion that never ends well. 🙂

It's possible they'll drop the trailer before the Livestream.

A bit disappointed we didn't get to see the new Game Pack.
