Great job to EA/Maxis this sounds like it will be one of the best updates ever. The amount of cc I've had to download for only two transgender sims is absurd, and this update should allow me to be able to get rid of a lot of it.
This. I don't use CC really, so it was imperative they do something like this eventually. I'm just happy they made the move. Now I can make more realistic and varied Sims.

I'm not sure if I want to see female Sims wear beards! that'll be just-NO!
In real life women grow hair on their bodies just like men. Its just most shave while men are more inclined to grow out their body hair.
But it does remind me of the cartoons, real life, and movies where circuses would feature a bearded lady. XD
not in such an amount that you could get a beard. I had some very small amounts of facial hair around my lips and I solved it with hormone therapy.
I like the idea behind it but I don't want it in my game. I just want it as an option I can disable/enable and I don't want EA to push gender equality down my throat ; there's Tumblr for that.

That may all be very true, but I think we can safely say that even if society would change to such an extend women with facial hair became the beauty standard you still would never encounter a bearded lady unless she used plastic surgery.

"Franklin also noted players can now change their Sims’ gender at any time and specify whether they can reproduce with other characters."
This is absurd... I really do not like that part...
Please note that players CAN change their Sims' gender at any time. Just like you CAN change their name at any time, or enter a cheat and change these things at any time. You CAN do it, but you do not have to. What does it hurt to have MORE options that you don't HAVE to use, right?
I honestly don't want this in my game...I hope there is an option to opt out of this. It's enough that I have see this everyday, but to see it in my game too is ridiculous.
I don't have anything against anyone, but i just don't want this in my game.

We still don't know if there's 'options' so one can hope if you wish to opt out of this 'feature'. Which is something The Sims needs to see more of so Simmers can play in their own way more.
1. The Sims 2
2. The Sims 3
3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)
4. The Sims 1

How.......*chokes* how did I miss that part!? *opens window* How did I miss that there part!? *jumps out window and flies to Franklin like a birdie and gives a hug for the info*
I'm pretty sure I'm still sleeping and dreaming this whole thing. This can't be real cannit cannit?
If all of that is in this patch, along with the graphical update it was worth the wait. Thank you TS4 team if all of this actually exists. But waiting for the update is torture now lol >_>;;

If they want to give us more options, they need to add those toggles. Forcing these additions onto our gaming experiences wouldn't be adding options, but retracting them since we could already achieve them thanks to skilled modders.
I think it would be much harder for modders to add toggles disabling these kind of features than adding these features in the first place.
@Cinebar
My nain thing is that we simply don't know HOW it's going to be implemented specifically. There may be a box to tic in the options after the patch. We just don't know yet. I think we should all just chill and wait for the patch notes or a post by a guru, their Facebook, etc.

Even if I do not like it, you made me laugh. I'm happy if it's makes you happy
If they do this won't it be hard to know if you sims are male or female? (a suggestion to remove gender symbols associated with characters in the game's gallery. )
I'm not one to normally stand up for the sims 4 but this is great...and for those concerned I imagine there is a certain formula in place that only allows the typically male clothes to be generated on male sims and vice versa. This shouldn't be difficult to achieve as many of the clothes were previously marked for a certain gender so just because they are now open to all sims, that marking may still be in place. Now thats what Im imagining will be the case but I could be wrong

They said the symbols, not the words "male" and "female". I think we'll still be able to search like that or a bew/different way.
hate it, absolutely hate it. For one thing, imagine what kind of townies it will generate. Also the need to go trough the stupid amount of other gender clothes and haircuts to get find your regular ones again.
This is utterly glorious. For 16 years, young non-heteromantics have been able to represent themselves in the game without being judged. We've seen the stories of teens for whom the game was a safe space to come to terms with who they are. And now non-cisgender people will have the same! That's an amazing gift.
On top of that, everything in that press release is about making the choice to do this representation. And GLAAD is a great group - I'd be astonished if they hadn't recommended against making the change appliy to townies or against erasing cisgender.
Really looking forward to seeing how this is implemented! I think my dad's toaster PC will run CAS

I agree this should be an option NOT forced.

All my creations are CC free.

So... I have faith, worried, but faithful!

A Rainbow is a promise of God
i'm actually having a positive reaction for this iteration of the sims franchise for the 1st time in 2 years. such a strange feeling.
