I make both. A good mix of both sexes. I mostly make families so this could be why. But if I'm doing a single sim, I have almost always done a version of my simself
I start with a male self-sim along with my real life family/friends, but then I like to populate the rest of the town with sims I can recognize. My town is filled with people from TV shows, comics, or celebrities. I tend to have more women because that's what I like to see wandering down the streets.
I nearly always start with a male sim but only because I usually want the sim to eventually have children and a male sim can father children even when he has aged to elder, so even if it takes a while for him to find his spouse it doesn't matter, whereas a female cannot have children once she has become an elder so it means it is a race to get her married and pregnant before it is too late; I never make multiple sims, so no families only single sims, and once I am playing a household I don't make and add any further sims to the neighbourhood, relying entirely on game generated or pre-made sims for spouse material.
Having said that, in Sims 4 I currently have only two save games, one where the starting sim was a male and one where the starting sim was a female - they've both married townie sims who once moved in were found to be a lot older than they were, which didn't cause a problem for my female sim but has for my male sim because his chosen beloved is only 9 days away from aging to elder! Oh well, if they love each other I won't stand in the way, it just means children now rather than later!

Well, I tend to make mostly females because I am a female and not great at making males, LOL. I wondered if everyone was like me.
After reading your posts, I realized it is not like I thought after all
It doesn't really matter if you make your sims the same gender as you are or not, just as long as you are having fun
When I made this post, I thought it was weird but it was something I was curious about and glad I asked!
I'm a guy and I tend to make male Sims until I realize I've made a horrible gender imbalance. Then I make like... 5 households with nothing but females, so I won't feel so bad, and my town won't be so guy-heavy. XD
But I do have a guy preference IRL, so I'm a bit biased in the sims I want to play.
That said, one of my favorite Sims I have ever played was Female, and in Sims 3. I wish I could make her again, but without CASt, It wouldn't be the same.
or, if you are a female do you tend to make more females?
I tend to make more females
I guess if you make families then it doesn't matter? I usually start off with single sims
Just curious
I start out with single male sims. Then, I'll go over and create a few all female households for him to become friends with and/or date. He'll hook up, get married and then I'll play that household for awhile. Sometimes they have kids, sometimes not.
I'm male and I find it hard to make male Sims which are really distinguishing. It's a lot easier with females. To answer the question: I have a 50/50 ratio of male/females in my library so I tend to make both.
I`m a guy so the first sim I created was my simself. In the demo I made more females (if there were more hair styles for males it might would`ve been even). But now I base it off of what gender seems to be less of that generation. Like last generations I had more girls than boys so when they hit young adult I went around making male offspring for the elders that were still around so there legacies could continue.

I always start with a single female sometimes two sisters. But sometimes I create extra families and just fill the empty houses with them, I create a lot of men for that. Gives my single sim ladies some options.

Sims don't make the difference. I don't either.

Seriously, I prefer make male sims BUT I play both. I'm just very bad for making female.

You know what it was like being a male player in TSO?
