Some unfunny edgelord is probably already making a sim with their one-joke humour.
Still, cool to see, now I can kill a Sim and change their pronouns to was/were! But in all seriousness, this is good. Makes my more masc female Sims work with the male gender (for the animations) sound more nautural when the game gets the pronouns right.
I wonder what this means for Morgyn Ember and any gender-neutural dialogue though. Wouldn't mind some dialogues "they/thems" now refer to the Sim by their chosen pronouns.
Hey Frost, consider dragons. They can be non-binary and use custom pronouns, too.
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, dragons can change their sex (according to one of the in-world literary reference). I think one did in one of the prequel novellas but it's unclear if that was an editing error or a deliberate reference to the in-world text.
I just changed the pronouns on one of my sims but she's still listed as her daughter's "father", so I guess those will be things to be worked out in the future.
I'm guessing as far as the pre-mades like Morgyn, Lia, Paka'a that would be on us to change them if we want?

Yes, even the pre-mades have to be changed manually.

I don't think they've changed any existing sims, but potentially in the NPC overhaul this'll happen
I don't think it does yet. My sim is still listed as "father" and "husband" even though her pronouns are she/her. I don't think it's that detailed yet, unfortunately.

This update feels very performative, the sims team have purposely left in the lipstick lesbian flag on the option of avaliable flags when it was made by a racist, bigoted woman who was against gender non-conforming lesbians, including butch women. It feels as though whoever decided to include it and research the flag decided to ignore the controversy about the flag when including it, as to include many of the less common flags they would of had to of done some level of research. I am appalled that this must of been somewhat intentional, its not exactly easy to ignore, it also implies that the sims team did not interact with many LGBTQ+ community members during the implementation of these items. If you want to learn more about why it's problematic, you can google the lipstick lesbian flag as well as check out these blog posts:
Good for those who wanted it but is there a way to turn it off? I don’t want “they/them” in my game
According to what I've read on twitter, if you ignore the Custom Pronouns dropdown, then the game will continue as it has in the past. The most interaction that may be required if you don't want gender neutral or custom pronouns is to change them for future Pre-Made sims who may take advantage of the new feature.
They really seem to have set this up as unobtrusively as possible.
Im pretty glad about that. Its a nice addition, but since I dont really worry over pronouns, its not a feature Id be using. I just dont want have to set up pronouns for every new sim I make. Good for those that need it in their game tho!
I freaked out when I saw this update was out! Been playing the sims 4 nonstop since 2 hours ago when I found out. Changed all my nonbinary sim's pronouns. The only error I've seen is with the sentiments. I could have messed it up somehow though knowing me, I'd find a way.
@EA_Cade, for spanish, Maxis will work with LGBT and related movements?
Or need that RAE support/officialize neutral pronouns (and eventually neutral language forms)?
This isn't an actual update I was waiting for, and plan to opt out.
However, I may just do custom pronouns and make all my females Queens, and all my males Kings.

@simmerorigin I simply checked his profile page. He was on a couple of hours ago.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionIf you actually meant have no biological sex .. tell that to Spinach and Asparagus
I'm guessing as far as the pre-mades like Morgyn, Lia, Paka'a that would be on us to change them if we want?

I wouldn't like to hurt Spinach and Asparagus feelings because I like them , I removed my previous comment

I haven't tried it but if you choose her majesty as your sims pronouns that is exactly what you'll see if the dialogue popup calls for a pronoun.
If you're Judith Ward you're probably saying to yourself it's about #$%^ time you people started referring to me as majesty.
